Give me a break.

You cannot tell me Zou Kai is better on High Bar than Uchimura. Never has an athlete been more over rewarded than Zou Kai on this apparatus. This is embarassing for our sport.

In fact, horizontal bar is the least interesting apparatus right now, men and women.

The judging regulations are to blame. Why doesn’t the FIG devalue Rybalko?

We need to go back to rewarding connected release moves. And taking more deduction for glaring form breaks on Kolman.
