Do you think Chinese Olympic athletes have an advantage from a "judging bias"?
Typically the "home" team gets that extra edge from the judging bias but was judging in Beijing Olympic worse than prior Olympics? Especially in gymnastics? (or was it a result of a confusing new scoring system?)
No one is alleging wrong doing on anyone's part. I don't see why everyone is being so defensive. It's psychological more than anything, just like playing at home for any team in any other sports has an advantage. But it just seems to me the "bias" is running a bit stronger this Olympic than other Olympics. (This has NOTHING to do with the HOST NATION so don't flame me if you're Chinese and don't agree with me!)
Please read the question correctly and thoroughly understand what I'm saying and what I am NOT saying!

The judges follows the rules. Blame IOC for the stupid banning of dual Golds.

Seeing as how its the IOC doing the judging, and not the Chinese, I don't see how there is a bias.

i agree with the first answer, the judges are doing fine, they are not biased and do not favor the chineese or hate the US, Its the IOC's fault for banning duel golds
