Glad to know this. I was just believing they should award a 2nd gold medal to be fair.

But after reading about the judges missing the 4th hold by the Korean, I now don't think there should be a 2nd medal awarded.

pretty soon Kerry will come out favoring UN intervention in
Olympic medal disputes as well...
Sadly, I think the future will be no medals or everyone gets
a chocolate medallion so as to not hurt anyone's feelings
or self esteem.

didn't they agree to accept the judges rulings as final as a condition of participation? If so, then grow up and abide by your decisions.
