The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

It was not a scoring error. He basically got those extra points added for attempting the ending which he messed up of his own accord. They wouldn't have put an inquiry in if they had got bronze. They should have accepted it, I'm sure they'll get many, many more medals during the Olympics. It was unfair to take a medal from Ukraine. They should have maybe got bronze but to go up to silver after that mistake - no.

I havnt seen the mistake on the bar yet by one of the GB lads.

He swung around to fast mate on the dismount and ended up flying out of the arena

Landed in the Thames I believe

Twitter laying into the Japanese bringin Pearl Harbour into it is poor, not their fault, and GB would do the same, rightly so if it was other way round

Well, he will be thankful we have a few good swimmers that got out there to save him whilst practicing. Better them than David bloody Walliams.

It was not a scoring error worth the extra .5. He basically got those extra points added for attempting the ending which he messed up of his own accord. They wouldn't have put an inquiry in if they had got bronze. They should have accepted it, I'm sure they'll get many, many more medals during the Olympics. It was unfair to take a medal from Ukraine. If anything they should have maybe got bronze with any extra .3 but to go up to silver after that mistake - no.

Japan probably would have protested if they'd gotten bronze because the original score WAS wrong and the corrected score could have gotten them silver.

It's nothing to do with luck really, Japan got what they actually deserved at the end of the day, the initial judges score (which is based off the initial viewing and not slo mo replays like the protest is) was wrong.

Yes it sucks for Ukraine, but they didn't actually deserve to have a medal in the first place.
