Viktoria Komova » Russian Gymnastics Federation Angry About World Championships Judging

Why are there so many factual errors in this broadcast? Check your facts, journalists. Russia finished second. Furthermore, no mention of Ksenia's gold medal on FX? They came away with 2 golds and 3 silvers. The US came away with 3 golds and 2 bronze. It doesn't seem the the judges are favoring the US to me.

sorry about the triple posting. It said it didn't go through but it did so I kept trying to post it.

I love Russian gymnastics, but I will honestly root against them in London. It's the same old story every time - if they don't win, the judging is obviously "biased" or "unfair." Please. The Russians team today is not the Soviet team of yesterday - these girls are FAR from dominant or unbeatable. The Russian Federation is living in the past.

When Tatiana Gutsu gives Shannon Miller back the gold medal the Soviet/Russians stole from her (see Nelli Kim's UB judging in particular in the AA) than maybe Jordyn will consider giving Viktoria her medal.

The Russians have been cheating in favor of their gymnasts for years.

Honestly, they should just be quiet. Being an American, I was ultimately going for my country. I did, however, think that the Russian gymnasts were beautiful and even said I wouldn't mind Komova winning the all around because I love her style. Now that they have brought more drama, trying to blame the judges for their obvious mistakes, I have never wanted them to do badly until now. They have shown poor sportsmanship, immaturity, and have criticized the subjectivity of the sport. It's amazing to think that our sixteen year old gymnasts were more mature than the Russian sports chiefs when we were not first on the podium last year. No longer will I be sitting back enjoying watching the sport and their beautiful gymnastics, because all I will be able to think of is their poor sportsmanship and distasteful attitudes. Way to be a role model for your upcoming gymnasts, Russia.

Nothing but sour graping. The Russians were FAR from perfect - they were tentative, nervous, shaky and had quite a few problems throughout. The U.S. girls did not have ONE fall, and they were confident and aggressive throughout. If the Russians want to complain, complain to Bruno Grandi. The judging was in accordance with the current code, which rewards difficulty over artistry. Period, end of story.

This is simply ridiculous. It wouldn't be a proper world championships without the Russians bringing the drama about the unfairness of the scores. Why can't they just accept them? I don't hear the Americans complaining! I don't hear the Chinese complaining! The Romanians seem to be taking responsibility for their lack of medals! It's always Russia, but everyone seems to point at the US as being the country with all the drama. At least they were classy about everything that happened.
