Forums - General Discussion - I hate how everyone says China cheated. Miss Universe anyone?

Draik, Shawn Johnson is obviously a lot more developed than the chinese girls. She looks 16.

Besides, Shawn Johnson doesn't have like 8 newspaper articles from the US discussing her age as 14 years old, like the Chinese did. The reason there's so much outrage and speculation over this is because all these media outlets from China have *reported* much younger ages, not just because they look like they're 13/14.

I think the biggest travesty has been the scoring this week. Even my untrained eyes could see the breaks in form that He Kexin had (3) versus the two small errors that Nastia had on the uneven bars. Tim dagget summed it up pretty well about these incompetent judges from programs that have never had medalists, since the US/China/Russia aren't on the panels.

Am I the only one that notices that duckbear never responds to these threads. He just posts what he knows will get people riled up (AKA Trolling).

I give this thread a 9.2.



Thank god for the disable signatures option.

Is this thread some kind of trick to get people banned for making accurate yet controversial opinions about women from other countries?

Anyway, women from the US get cheated out of being much higher than they should in the Miss Universe Pageant rather than the other way around due to the fact that international PR is against the US winning such a pageant.

Without going into the reasons why women from other countries are in fact much less attractive than women from the USA, I will use the best evidence to illustrate why women from the USA are the most attractive on earth. Our movie industry in Hollywood totally dominates world cinema revenue and one of the reasons why is that the women in our movies -- actresses from the USA are the most beautiful.

"Asians look a lot of the time younger than they really are I even found that out with my own gf. I mean look all the 13 year old girls look the same? I know 13 girls who look like 17 year old girls and also the other way around."

 

Yes, but one of the Chinese gymnasts was incredibly small, had the face of a 10 year old at most, and was missing a baby tooth.

I get pissed off when I see anyone, regardless of nationality, robbed of their efforts and recognition.  If it had been the other way around, and Kexin had performed the more perfect routine but Nastia had gotten gold, that would have also been outrageous.

Forget that one girl is American and the other Chinese for a moment, and just look at them as people and the incredible efforts and sacrifices they've made to get to this point in competition, and then look at 1.) the point spread by what appear to be at least one biased judge 2.) the tiebreak system that is absurd by increasing the importance of a single judge's scores (increasing the likelihood of judging based on aberrations) and 3.) The fact that even if you agreed with the point spread, every other event offers gold medals to both first place ties, but here it has to be tiebreak?  No logic

Sour grapes nothing.  Pure travesty.

 



No sour grapes. Just stating the truth. Besides the US won 8 medals in gymnastics and the Chinese won 6, so why would there be any sour grapes?

No matter how many of these threads I report nor how many mods get suckered into them, they never get closed though.
