Last night, Nastia Liukin received a silver medal in the uneven bars. She actually tied for a gold medal, but because of computer scoring and the fact that gymnastics is judged (read, subjective), she had to settle for silver. Nothing wrong with silver. She is ahead of what, 50 million other little girls with gymnastic skills… However, the judges, the referees and a tie breaker process cost her Olympic glory.
It reminded me of a Jimmy V quote that talks about referees.. Enjoy!
“I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can’t trust em.”
