Deecee it is too a sport.... you cant do it.... I've been arguing with my physical therapist(a former gymnast) about this for the past three weeks...I knew Kimmie was going to Blast me once she read it... In basketball, we determine a winner by how many hoops you score...In Track & Field, it's whoever crosses the line first, or throws the farthest, etc... I don't like the way the winner is determined in gymnastics...your fate is at the will of the judges... I'll definitely say that gymnasts are athletes...but that scoring thing is hard for me to swallow... And you're right...I definitely cannot do any of those things that the male gymnasts were doing...not without the help of some special trampolines built by NASA and some very large men spotting me....

If you find an extra $100K in your bank account and you know that the money doesn't belong to you. You manage to withdraw the money and spend it as quick as you can. Suddenly the bank call you up and tell you that they make a mistake. The money is actually the lifetime saving of a retired person, and the bank wants you to return the money. You reply in a awful voice, "It is not my responsibility to deal with it. The bank make a mistake and they have to obey the rule....."
It is heartless if you don't feel guilty about it and return home as a hero.....

Where's the honor....Greed. If he were on the other end and he really won and the Asian had the Gold Paul Hamm would probably be pissed as hell. I saw Hamm on Letterman. My god he sounds like a little boy.

Let's go stictly by the rules. Isn't that what is right and ethical. The rules state that you cannot protest the scoring after the results are final. Point two, if they want the scoring reviewed then let's review the total scoring which showed that the Korean was not deducted an automatic .2 for having one more handstand that you are allowed. Remember when Colorado was given 5 downs against Missouri in football and scored the winning points on the 5th down. They eventually were National Champs. Let's go back and change that.

It is more than just a mistake. All the three judges are from Ohio.
