"It was noted that while the judges had not rated the routine properly that they could have also deducted TWO tenths for an error that they failed to see. "
Help bring me up to speed on this. What was his score? How do we know he was not penalized for the "holds" error?
They went through the routine frame by frame and noted all the deductions the judges took. Then they made note of the fact that he had at least one if not two additional releases over the allowable three.
They therfore determined that had the routine been rated and judged properly he would have gotten either the exact same score or been a tenth of a point lower than what he got.
The little crybaby should be happy he got the bronze at all.
