US gymnast getting hosed again.
- Thread starter Mr Meoff
- Start date
1.) We won out right. I don't watch this **** and I can even tell that.
2.) There is no way in hell that China girl is 16. I would argue that she isn't even 14.
See you in Chicago ninjas.</p>

And I love Bela Karolyi for calling them out on underage competitors and shady scoring procedures. 17ing ridiculous.
i get that there are people who do not develop as quickly as others. if you looked at 1,000 people in the 9th grade class in a yearbook of any school ever you would maybe have one that looks a little too young, maybe 12 or 13. those 12 or 13 year old looking kids are probably handicap and its probably a boy considering on average they hit puberty later than girls. and on top of all that gymnasts are generally small (short) but carry some weight in their legs and upper body most of the time. plus she is a foot shorter than liukin. that <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">*****</span> girl is closer to 10 than she is 16. she's obviously really good but she and china gymnastics have to follow the rules. hopefully nastia and shawn will one day get their medals they deserve.
I feel for nastia because that girl has been screwed in this competition more than anybody in the history of the olympics (that may be particularly bold, but it's still ridiculous). she and shawn practically had to be perfect to squeak out a victory in the overall competition

...less serious mistakes, and should have won straight up without any tie breaker. The underage Chinese girl was given a higher score despite a major break, and a faulty landing. It was a <17>ing screw job for Nastia Luikin, and she didn't even get a chance to enjoy it! The Chinese have definitely gotten scoring breaks the entire competition.
