    wait, i heard about this on my way to work this afternoon on sports radio. the host said that judges weren't allowed to score events that featured people from their home country. so that would mean at least china, us, and germany didn't have a judge on this particular panel.
    that doesnt mean there wasnt outside pressure from the chinese... ya always gotta keep a close eye on the home country

    the scores were exactly the same. Nastia did not look happy and neither did her Papa.
