Japan gets 4th in Gymnastics, complains and gets silver, knocking England to bronze
 

confusing thread but my mum told me she watched the gymnastics and basically..

-GB finished 2nd and got silver
-Ukraine finished 3rd and got bronze
-Japan finished 4th
-Japan complained and got bumped up to silver, knocking GB down to bronze
- Ukraine gets stripped of their bronze so GB can have it.

How unfair is this? They finished in 4th and somehow bribed their way up to 2nd?

I agree it's disgusting, that guy fell on his routine so Japan didn't deserve it.

They didn't " bribe " their way to 4th they were entitled to make an inquiry about how the scoring was done based on Difficulty and the landing and the score was changed fairly after a review, it can happen to anyone.. so blame the scorers for getting it wrong in the first place

Annoying, but they were consistent throughout the competition
and more frustrating for Ukraine tbh, going from 3rd to 4th

This

*Great Britain

not England <_<

I heard that they werent very good :shocked: and yes, Ukraine must be really annoyed.

but at least the UK still get something (even if it is 1 place less :idc:)

We was better than Japan all the way thorugh though, some bad scorings off the judges.

They were well within their right. Think about if GB were in their situation?

Exactly, some people would not be complaining if we had been bumped from 4th to 2nd :)

But we should have been 2nd, arguably 1st as we didn't put a foot wrong.

Although the racist tweets about Japan on Twitter is nothing short of disgusting though.

Mockinator please stop now.. China were a league above everyone i don't even watch Gymnastics and even i could see that

Mock, one of our guys fell off of the bars

Had he not done that we would have got 2nd without a doubt, even with Japan's appeal

Silly Japan.

China normally are and they was very good tonight, but we definitely was up there with them, Japan however was miles behind both in quality and especially after one of there guys ****ed up aswell.

We ****ed up more then Japan on the rings.. the Japan guy did well to nail his landing

I blame Novo for it

I was there and Japan won the silver fair and square. The judges hadn't awarded correct mark for his landing and the closeness of the scores meant it only needed a tiny uplift to give them silver. It's Ukraine I felt sorry for.

Exactly it must just be awful to go from Bronze to nothing
China were fantastic as per usual, just wish the scoring was done correct in the beginning

A shocking robbery from Ukraine, poor chaps worked hard for that bronze just to have it cruelly ripped away from them in such a humiliating way

It's the Ukraine I feel sorry for but the Chinese absolutely deserved their gold.

& it's the UK...not England...

Japan should have had bronze, they wasn't good enough to have silver.
