That women's tie-break makes NO sense. It completely defeats the point of having a huge panel of judges. Basically it came down to what one judge thought. Plus I didn't realize the insanity of the panel composition until Tim pointed it out. That to be fair they don't include judges from the countries that are competing, but that means you only have judges from countries with crap gymnastics programs... yeah that makes sense.
Only competing with that for my outrage was how much of an asshole Jenn Stuczynski's coach was. She's only been vaulting for 4 years and she wins the silver medal and you ream her out on national television? The Russian who won broke the WR TWICE that same night. It wasn't even close. She jumped 10 inches higher than Jenn. So um, sucky coach, lighten the f*** up.
