...AH HA!!!! that is where you are wrong....mr Ugly.<br /><br />you see, As Paul Hamm's little cousin, I know how to do judging. seeing as how I am a gymnast myself, I know the rubric for these events.<br /><br />The Korean guy was screwed in the parallell bars....yes. they started him at a 9.9, instead of a 10. BUT!!!!! they did not take off points for his extra 4 posts that he did.<br />you see, when on the paralell bars, you are only allowed 3 posts (Hand stands) if you have more than three posts, then you will be penalized by 1 tenth of a point. he had 7 posts total. ((A post is when you do a handstand, for 3 seconds or more.) even if he started out with a 10 value, because of his posts, even if he did his routine perfectly, he would have had a 9.6, which is worse than what he got, and if they would have judged it correctly, then he would not have even got a Bronze medal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077567.post-1093619197045991112004-08-27T08:06:00.000-07:002004-08-27T08:06:00.000-07:00Ugly Naked Guy, I agree, I think that Paul would h...Ugly Naked Guy, I agree, I think that Paul would have been a great american hero if he had stepped up to the plate and given back the medal. The integrity of that act alone would have lasted longer and been felt more strongly than any metal could.
