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.

It's really a shame that gymnastics can't seem to find a way to get it right.
When it's obvious to the novice (watching someone fall, or someone make a big bobble like on the beam) that a mistake is made, you would think the judges could see it also.
Maybe they need to watch it on TV like the rest of us to get a better view (g)
They are going to end up like figure skating a few years back ...
