Olympic gymnastics judging much improved

Athens was a disaster. Men’s Judging a laughing stock.

But — I grudgingly admit — the judging was much improved in Beijing. (And this from a Canadian who’s team was controversially knocked out of the Team final.)

Even Canadian Hardy Fink, past Men’s Technical Chair, was impressed. He was the original author of the current code.

Congratulations to Adrian Stoica and everyone judging at the 2008 Olympics.

I’d better post this now before I’ve had a chance to speak to any of the judges personally. I might change my mind.
