The scoring in gymnastics, boxing, diving, etc has always been way out of whack. I remember in the Olympics a long time ago when the scoring was political. The Ruskie judge would give his country's competitor a great score and hammer the U.S athelete, and the American judge would do just the opposite.
They don't seem to have made much progress since then. Still pretty screwed up. I'd hate to put in 10 or 12 years hard work and see it rewarded with a bad decision by a biased or inexperienced judge.
Gymnastics scoring has always been a joke, and always will be. Way too subjective.
