Steve and Amy, I side with Paul Hamm on this one. Yes, the Korean guy, Yang Tae Young, got a raw deal, and unfortunately that seems to be a pattern for Korean Olympians in the past several Games. But the judging in these events is very subjective. It seems even the question of whether Yang's routine should have been scored out of a 10.0 or a 9.9 is subjective. I'm not sure about that one, but it doesn't seem like gymnastics is like diving where the degree of difficulty is announced beforehand. So the judges admitted their error in this case. It doesn't matter. There are tons of judging mistakes that cost athletes a tenth of a point here, a tenth of a point there, etc. I'm pretty sure if all the objections were raised, and all of the videotaped routines were scrutinized, it would take weeks before we come to any conclusions, and we'd have the Olympic version of Florida 2000.
