This is only marginally related, but I still miss the "six" scores that the good gymnasts would get. If you were good, you'd get a 5.8 or 5.9, and if you weren't as good (because no one who made it to the Olympics could be *bad* at gymnastics) you would get a 5.4 or 5.5 or something.

And the scores would be listed right there on the screen, with the judge's country's flag listed above the score they gave that gymnast. So you could tell who thought they were good and who thought they were not so good.


In the misty depths of my memory, I recall... the East German judge would always screw over the Americans. :)
