Do you guys get the feeling that the judges aren't as impartial as they should be...I mean on certain occasions like the diving competition they gave Sooo many points to China but when the US came around they would always find something where they could take off points. Anyone else think so?

"HoNgKoNgPh0oEy said:"I would tel you if I watched but didnt michael phelps win or something"He does swimming - not diving."
o sorry I only watch track on olympics and maybe boxing if it is good
It's nothing new really, it's really interesting how the host nation at almost every sporting event seems to do much better thenthey did before.
