watching men's gymnsatics right now (spoiler for the west coast?)

[jennyanydots]

they'r eBOOING the judges over the Russian's score!

 

[Aimeedyan]

I read about this earlier today...

I think he was jipped, personally.

I do feel sorry for Haam, and others who have to follow, since this would totally unnerve me.

Wow!!! I have to agree though that score really didn't match Aleksai's performance. He looked reallllllly good! I think the audience is fed up and wants no more complaints tomorrow; let's take care of this now.

I feel for Paul having to wait this out. Plus, it seems the judges are being overly harsh on him today.

This is the most unbelievable thing! He had tears in his eyes as the crowd went on and on and on. Unreal!

 

[jennyanydots]

they revised the score.

good. so there'll be no complaint tomorrow.

 

[disney4us2002]

OMGosh, did you see him try to quiet the audience. That is just the sweetest thing! Wow, what a good sport.

 

[swea_pea1]

And a VERY classy move for him to come out to calm the crowd.

 

[jennyanydots]

a real class act.


now I have to cheat and find out the results ...

 

[disney4us2002]

Okay, I'm just crazy now. Please disregard my previous post that they were being unduly harsh on Paul. I really like Paul but I don't think he was better than Alexsai. Unbelievable!

 

[swea_pea1]

This is gonna turn into Jerry Springer soon!

 

[jennyanydots]

spoiler Jerry Springer indeed.

Alexea should have won!!!!

This will just fuel Khorkina's fire !

I think it would have been cool if Paul had won and gave the medal to alexea! That would have been a true olympic moment!!

 

[disney4us2002]

Did you vote on the poll on that spoiler link? I'm surprised that over 400,000 have voted and it's a 50/50 split between should Hamm keep the gold or give it to the South Korean gymnast.

ROFL! First they want Paul Hamm to give up his All-Around gold, now you want him to give up another medal?

Maybe if we think long enough we can figure out someone for Paul to give his team silver to.


eta: I'm just kidding around. I agree Alexsei was majorly robbed tonight. It was a pretty embarrassing evening for gymnastics.

It's WAY different now, 67 vs 33 FOR him giving him the gold.

sorry...misread the quote to think it was for Paul keeping the gold.

I hope the judges are happy. They've completely undermined the sport.

Finally, Hamm and coach Miles Avery motioned Nemov to the podium and the Russian asked for silence. The crowd finally relented.

If Hamm and his coach didn't ask for Nemov to try to silence the crowd, do you think he would have done it?
