For once I agree with Fidel that the judges were corrupt. Specifically the gymnastics judges.

I heard one commentator say that judges from a country where there are competitors in a specific competition are not allowed to judge. So when there are a number of competitors from major countries, they have to get judges from minor countries that by definition have much less experience. And now we know they judge poorly.

If his folks brought homes medals, Fido would have NO problems with “corrupt judges”. Fido simply got a taste of his own corrupt, lying medicine.

hey Castro - it is your Communist buddies who are the criminals who hosted all of this mess...

Maybe now you see what the rest of the world has known - the Olympics are just as corrupt and irrelevant as the UN.

Happens at every Olympics in all sports, but I can't recall --ever-- a "losing" athlete violently attacking a referee or judge.

There is something about the "classless" society...
