China Bronze

The girl from China who won the individual vault bronze.. I thought I saw her fall on her knees?

Makes no sense. How do you fall like that and win a medal in the Olympics? This medal really degrades the value the olympics. The judges aren’t from China either, so it’s not wrigged. What do you think about this?

Ok, people who aren’t familiar with gymnastics don’t generally understand this (The judging process, and nobody likes it, it was much better prior to 2005 when scores were judged out of 10). Let’s take a look at the scores:
Sacramone:
Vault 1: A: 6.30 B: 9.450 – Total: 15.750
Vault 2: A: 5.80 B: 9.525 – Total: 15.325
Final score : 15.537

Cheng Fei:
Vault 1: A: 6.50 B: 9.575 – Total: 16.075
Vault 2: A: 6.50 B: 8.550 – Total: 15.050
Final Score: 15.567
A is for the difficulty, B is for the execution.
Chung Fei DID get deducted because of her landing, as you can see.
Cheng Fei’s routine was much more difficult than Alicia’s(She had a .9 higher value I believe?) , so she had much more starting points to begin with. Plus, Sacramone didn’t do a great routine ethier, she didn’t fall but she didn’t stick the landing properly. Chung Fei’s first vault alo earned the highest score of all the women with a 16.075.With such low difficulty ratings for Alicia Sacramone( 6.3 and 5.8) she would of had to make vaults, which were not particularly difficult, perfect(which she wasn’t) in order to earn her the Bronze Medal. It wasn’t bias towards the Chinese, it was just judging.
