Alexi Nemov SHOULD HAVE WON SILVER FOR HIGH BAR

He did like 6 jumps in the routine and THE ONLY thing he could have been deducted for was his landing where he took 1 tiny step, crowd protested for 10 minutes because he got like a 9.6, then the judges fixed their **** up and STILL gave him a ****ty score of 9.7 something which was 3rd after 3 runs. ( BS ) then paul hamm goes 4th and gets the #1 score? AND HE STUMBLED his landing also and had ONLY 2 jumps... ****ING BS
PAUL HAMM'S ROUTINE WAS GARBAGE COMPARED OMFG!

but the italian guy deserved the gold... that sob is sweet

This is always a problem with judged sports, but of course I was screaming at the TV!! He should have gotten atleast silver.

i do think he should've won the gold, his routine was absolutely the best. BUT, I think it's extremely lame that the judges were pressured into changing his score by the crowd. the judges word should be final, whether it's right, wrong, or whatever.

yeah man...that dude got hozed. Freaking 6 releases? And his only mistake was like a missed hand deal and a step on the landing...come on...dude should ahve been like 9.8 flat or something man.

I think it should have been the guy that got gold, then the russian, then us.

But the russian..man I bet he'll remember the way the crowd supported him a lot better than winning a silver or bronze metal. He's already got 12 metals. having the crowd do what they did is something of legend.

I think Hamm did a great job just chilling and being a gentlemen and then throwing down a pretty solid 4 release program....well done.

I'm kinda glad the korean ate it. Dude was talking to much crap..he didn't deserve to win the gold all around..the right guy won it.

but that's why I hate sports like that..judged...you can train your whole life...throw down and still loose because some a-hole judge got paid off, screwed up, thinking the french guy is prettier or is just an idiot.

but man in sports like swimming or track and what not...for the most part its....first one to finish is the winner...you know. Like that skinny white boy...dude freaking cruised for a victory..I look forward to the next olympics...I think that dude is gonna snap the world record in 2.

i watched that last nite too...that was a bunch of shiot...alex nemov is one nice **** guy though for not overreacting to it....the italian guy's routine was off the hook, just above nemov's, but i think hamm should have got bronze...

sorry but if you listened to the interview with hamm afterwards all he was concerned about was himself...yeah i give it up to him that he didnt deserve all that bad rep for the gold in the all-around, but hey for the high bar, be at least a lil humble and give props to nemov for throwing down one heck of a routine - i mean 6 release moves thats is nuts...hamm didnt even stick his landing...all hamm was concerned about was himself...this is the olympics and you already got a gold, yeah it was the judges fault but shoot the gesture of knowing you were beat out makes you look even better....

oh wells....the rest of the olympics was pretty sweet though...
