Bronze Medal at Women's Gymnastics Beam Taken from Romania

The London Olympics seems to be filled with controversy and bad judgements. I think they like to play with peoples nerves and make the competitors suffer. I see no other  explanation. To confirm this would like to point out what happened today at women's gymnastics beam final. Catalin Ponor from Romania was declared the bronze medalist winner after all 8 contestnats performed.

The last girl to perform was Alexandra Raisman from USA. After she finished her exercise she was given a 14.966 points 100 hundredths below Catalin Ponor. Raisman's coach appealed the judges' decision and as a consequence she received a new score of 15.066.  The difficulty of her exercise was changed allowing her to step on the podium. 

I'm no expert but it seems to me that most Olympics games so far have been judged by people who labeled performance as they pleased.
