I saw that -- it was nuts. After the crowed booed and the head of the competition came out and talked to the two judges who scored him way too low, they changed their scores but he was still in last place of the people who had performed. It was crazy.
What I really don't understand is why there were so many ties. I don't know if the judges talk to each other at all and know that there's going to be a tie, but it sort of seemed like they were doing it on purpose. The tie breaker procedure seems really bizarre.
ETA: Oh, and I forgot to add that I am still saying that Lithuania is going to win the gold in men's basketball.
