And the discussion continues... The Russians went home and they are still discussing the judges' decision. Now they have added the men's team bronze to their list of concerns...
The US men thought they deserved the silver, Martha Karolyi thought Raisman deserved the floor title, etc... I guess that is how it goes, although I feel the lack of consistency in the judging from TQ to EF has helped the controversy and caused more discussion than other years.
Check out the report on the Russian Federation:
Russian Gymnastics Federation - The Judging at Worlds
I personally think with the problems of the code already showcased, the fact that the judging has been so inconsistent in Tokyo has not helped FIG's case. They are going to be ever more in the spotlight in London, and I hope things will work out, because if not, we are going to see this controversy reach Cold War proportions.
