LMAO!!! They are scoring Hamm high again on the high bar!! The crowd was booing

Now it's not just about the Korean guy and Hamm. This situation is getting worse and worse. No matter how good the others do, those judges are giving Hamm high scores than he should get. Listen to the crowds and listen them booing. What a shame.

Thats not true. He finished near the bottom on three of his events and two of his scores seemed alot lower than they should have(his events on Sunday).

China's not complaining...last check, neither is Japan.

Country Tot Gold Sil Bro

China 50 23 15 12
Japan 31 15 8 8




South Korea 21 6 10 5

Looks like an anti-asian conspiracy.

Maybe the IOC thinks the asian countries have too many medals as it is and they need to even it out a little bit 😀

actually, japan and korea with a combined population of 170 million or so haven't done to bad. 52 medals and 21 golds is pretty respectable overall. proportionately the same as the US with a population of 250 mill. 🙂

It's unfair to compare large countries to small countries as well as expect proportional results from larger countries. Countries like China cannot send 10,000 athletes to the Olympics as they are limited to sending the number of athletes in many events.

of course it's fair, because even tho they are limited to how many athletes they can bring, they have so many more athletes to chose from.

No it isn't. I'm saying that you can't compare large countries to small countries and you also can't expect large and small countries to have the same amount of medals per capita. Both large and small countries have the same amount of opportunities, but the larger countries have a larger pool of talent.

In addition, with you adding Korea and Japan together, you are forgetting that they also have 2x as many opportunities to win than any single country.
