The outcome of judged events like gymnastics will always be subjective. As Hamm has pointed out, if the slo-mo tapes were examined for every gymnast that competed for that medal, every gymnast's standing would be changed. Judges are human and they make mistakes, but that is the nature of the sport and, IMHO, what makes it so interesting.
