I know I only use this blog to bitch and whinge. Half the time, I reckon, I don't make sense. That's not me, I don't think. Usually, I'm pretty happy.

oh no, didn't mean it that you're not saying they shouldn't be humiliated and have their medals ripped from them and dishonour on their families. Just sayin ^^
Either way it would be the coaches fault, not the gymnasts themselves. 5 lightning bolts in the butt for the coaches.

There is home team advantage... and then there's home team advantage I dunno if you've seen any one one one sports like the taekwondo or boxing... but (and I've only seen it with British/Irish players as our TV only really shows them) when any player seems to be playing against a Chinese guy, the judges seem blind sighted so they only award points to the Chinese and no one else.
For example the bronze medal fight..Ireland Vs China... the Irish man, Paddy, lost fair and square. He knows that. But he didn't get any points at all even though he should have gotten at least 2. But every time he should have gotten a point it was given to the Chinese guy. Needless to say he was royally pissed. Not because he lost, but because the judges didn't give him any points when he should have gotten some.
And with the taekwondo, same story. Only the boy was crying after cause he was robbed.
