Rigged and Annoyed!

Surprise, surprise...gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport. However, this year is a complete joke! How can someone fall on their vault landing and still "earn" a medal and push the American out of the podium? Oh, I know how...it's because they are freakin' Chinese! Now I don't have anything against Chinese people, but I DO have an issue with them winning unfair medals. Now, let's take a look at uneven bars. Nastia's routine is beautiful, there is NO hop on the landing and she doesn't make any major mistakes...however she scores the same score as the Chinese girl who hops on her landing and has 2 visible mistakes. So it's a tie and both should get a gold medal right?! WRONG! The freakin' Chinese girl "wins" by .1 even though the score is the same...bull crap. I think the Olympics are rigged this year because they are in China and the Chinese can't even win a medal on their own talent. This year they need to include gymnasts are are NOT of age and they need to somehow convince the judges to give them better scores. BLAH! I am so annoyed. BORING...lets see what crap they pull on balance beam tomorrow...

Oh I can't tell you how mad me and Nate get watching the gymnastics, talking about the same stuff you just did. It is SO biased!!!! Even the commentators are like "wow that was too high" for the CHinese scores. It makes me SO MAD!!! But at least Shawn and Nastia got gold and silver yesterday huh!!
