Chinawhite I respect your knowledge about gymnastics, but you and I will go to our graves disagreeing on this one.
IMHO, if you can't finish it, you shouldn't add the start value!

Anyway, what I hate is people blaming and accusing China of cheating when the rules are clearly outlined to them. The international made the decisions based on the rules not the Chinese

She still got a higher score then someone who didn't land on her face.
And her age, how do you know? China's already been caught cheating on the ages of their athletes, could just be another lie and cheat.

Coming from someone in China I am utterly shocked by this statement.

I love how someone who's entire media is under control of the government thinks they know what's going on.
You live in a country where you can be executed because while you were walking across the street you got in the way of the Chairman's car and even though you had the right of way it made him mad and so you're executed.

Your country used its own citizens as speed bumps for its tanks.
Your country has arrested and tortured people for handing out Bibles.
Your country has executed people for protesting the oppression of Tibet.

^You got no clue about gymnastics.
Vault scores consists of 2 vault scores then averaged to get 1 final score, so each person performs 2 vaults.
A fall in gymnastics results in a .800 deduction.
Cheng had 16.075 on her first vault then 15.050 because of the .8 deduction.
16.075+15.050/2=15.562
Sacramone had 15.750+15.325=15.537. Is that so hard to understand?
If you wanna talk about bias then thats BS because Cheng is a 3 time world champ on vault, she blew her chance on gold.
