Would that happen in American or Europen Football... take for an example a player stepped out of bounds, but stepps back in and scores the winning points. LAter after the game is over they review the tapes and see he should have been disqualified and there for change the score and now the other team loses the game with no chance to try and score again. No way...

Plus by just looking at the tape they have to review the whole event and all the game show talkers have said he (the Korean crying foul) would lose points because he held four times (you are only allowed 3 holds) that would lower his score even more even after it was upped due to an error. Should Paul Hamm be punished for this no way.

As for Alexei Nemov... he recivied a lower score then he should of I am in complete agreement, but he failed to due a requirment. That alone takes him out of a gold or silver I believe he deserved bronze. As for what happen. You need to that Paul Hamm again, why you ask for the same reason he is in trouble for the first thing. If he had went up and did his routine befor eth judges changed the score, guess what they would have been able to change it. Him holding off allowed the crowed to get more ups and bring the judges to thier senses and allowed for a change. Now would this have happen in another sport... I think not...
