Knocked Down to Silver Medal
I know a lot about gymnastics and love the sport. When I was watching these olympic event finals, I thought that Nastia performed a better and cleaner routine compared to He Kexim. Nastia performed a beautiful routine and stuck her landing, which means that she did not stumble at all. She had a great routine and the only mistake that i saw was her legs splitting. When I watched He's routine, she had a lot more obvious errors such as not having her toes pointed the whole time and separating her legs several times. Also, on He's dismount, she stumbled a bit and still awarded the same score as Nastia.
I think that the judges made a mistake of giving the gold to He because Nastia obviously had a better routine. Since the Chinese were in their home country, many people think that He won the gold because of favor and not skill. I agree with this. Since the Chinese were in their home country, i think that there was a little favor towards her so that she could show her home country that she won a gold medal. This was very unfair to Nastia and i think that she should have won the uneven bars event finals.
Do you think that Nastia deserved the silver?
