In the case of the "tie" on the Uneven Parallel Bars, Nastia actually outperformed the Chinese girl (not even 16, but that's another debate). The Australian judge apparently either is incompetent or blind or both if for not recognizing the many mistakes in the Chinese girl's performance. Nastia made only one small error, and should have won the Gold outright, not lost in a silly, moronic tie breaker. Just my correct opinion.
Oh, and Alicia Sacramone got totally hosed off the podium in the Vault by incompetent judges who awarded a medal to a Chinese girl who actually fell to her knees on her landing.
Nothing like good ol' home cooking!
