Voinjama Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Japan were vying with China for Gold at one point, and now they end up in 4th place. Very strange. They look despondent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Brilliant stuff from our men in the gymnastics. I never expected a silver there. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Brilliant silver for us in the gymnastics. Elsewhere some idiot has tweeted to Tom Daley that he let his late father down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One fell off and one missed the dismount on the Pommel horse. Crash and burn I know but it shows how close it was between 1st and 4th. Japan have put in a complaint with regards to the scoring in 2 of the performances. Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Japan are appealing the decision. We may slip to bronze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 With regards to sports where it is judged on points scoring i.e the opinion of the judges there is a huge flaw. Although they have strict criteria to go by, it is still opinion at the end of the day, whereas in athletics, opinion does not come into it, you can see who crossed the line first, or threw whatever the furthest, or who jumped the biggest distance. So you often have these disputes in gymnastics, or boxing or diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Absolute bollocks. **** Japanese rocket polishers. Pushed us down to bronze, which is a complete disgrace when it comes to the judges. Well done to our lads but they deserved the silver. Cheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_c Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 After falling off like that it takes some audacity to appeal for a higher score. It's a shit come down to Bronze but still a massive result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Not good at all, the Japanese guy fell off and didnt land, that is why he originally scored what he did. Maybe Ukraine will appeal about Japans appeal. Anyway GB still get a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 someone enlighten me on the gymnastics - they knocked .5 off the jap guy because he fell off, they then decided that he didnt fall off he just messed it up but still landed on his feet so added the .5 back on, where is the deduction for him messing it up? the commentators dont seem too upset so im guessing it was right but i dont know how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
