Mum's been saying the Chinese were getting unfair advantage. Now I believe it.

Okay. The Gymnastics are totally fucked.

A vaulter from China fell on her knees on her landing and got a 15.

That. Is. Bullshit.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY AGREEMENT.

I was amazed there was not some sort of protest.

Oh yeah. They're pretty much buying medals. In the individual all-around, we're just lucky the Chinese girls made such obvious mistakes so they couldn't give them outrageously high scores. As it was, they were already marking us down more harshly for minor mistakes. And yep, in the individual events last night, more of the same, if not worse.

Boxing is being unfairly scored, as well. I can't even watch that event anymore. :-\

I gave up watching those sports that are judged, especially gymnastics. So bloody pissed off that the Chinese athletes get ridiculous crack-like scores for average performances. Utter rubbish.

And I am a Chinese, although not from China. Ugh.

Beth Tweddle should have got into the medals for her uneven bars routine. It was amazing. She did make two tiny mistakes, one which was a step to the side on the landing, but the routine itself was so, so complicated and she only came fourth!
