I 100% agree with Bela. Many people would say that "that is that", but sorry, the judges were showing favoritism towards the Chinese.

I def. agree and it's kind of sad but it's making me loose respect for the judging committee. I understand that to prevent bias you don't have judges from the same countries at the gymnasts but when the judges that are left are people from countries that have never won an olympic medal in gymnastics it's ridiculous. Nastia didn't have mistakes that were as noticeable as He which is what IMHO should've been the "tie-breaker" since they aren't allowed to double medal..
