Personally I think it sucks but like Nastia said I guess it really doesn't matter to her since she won the most important individual medal of all..

It is obvious that something really needs to be done about the Code of Points that was changed after Paul Hamm's disputed gold at the Athens Olympics. Not only is this a terrible way to break a tie in gymnastics, but it isn't very fair.

Also, the code of points should not be rewarding a gymnast who falls on her second vault for a medal instead of the one who stuck both of her landings. Just because there was more difficulty, doesn't mean that it should have been scored better.

Can you tell I am bitter about the scoring this year?
