It is now official, the gymnastics portion of the games has come to a close. As it has been filled with the emotional ups and downs of the various routines, one major culprit involved has been the judges. It's no secret that this sport has a degree of subjection. That being said, if there was any opportunity for a "home cooking," China definitely provided it. The head-scratcher of the games is the fact that the judges for this particular event come from the collective countries of the world. So why China would grab their undivided attention is beyond me. I mean China's underage phenoms are pretty good, but their mistakes are pretty hard to miss.

In addition, whoever came up with the tie-break-backwards-scoring-method has to be the dumbest person in the world - or so freakin' smart that the average bear will still be scratching his head four years later in London.
