When Jiang went, she had several balance checks, including one on her freakin' mount. She got the exact same score for execution. WTF!!!

Earlier, Nastia and Yang both had near flawless performances on the uneven bars. The only mistakes I saw was that neither of them stuck the landing. They both had the same starting score too. Yet somehow Yang scored higher. WTF!!!

RECOUNT!!!

EDIT: Take that, China!!! Gold and Silver, Bishes!!!
+1

Those scores last night, especially Shawn Johnson's, were ludicrous. Still, gold and silver aren't bad but somebody really needs to look into what is going into the judging and scoring.
