I'm all about fairness, though the rules clearly state any petition against the scoring must be done during the competition, otherwise the scores are final. The olympic commity has said its open to the idea of giving double medals if the koreans can make strong enough case.
I feel that its utterly ridiculous for people to judge Hamm for not giving the medal to the korean. He worked his whole life for this goal, lead the best win in olympic gymnastic history, and to say he should give it up? I'm sorry. Give double medals if it warrants it. Don't take his away, and don't hold it against him that he's holding onto what he won.
Hung over munk is in a tiff with the head of international gymnastics :angry:
Cheers,
