Yes...the right result DID eventually come out...but man...what a strange trip to get there. I could tell after that first vault that Liukin was "on". *pats himself on back for calling it* However...with the screwy judging...I wasn't sure what to think. When the head technical judge came down after Nastia's balance bean routine...the scoring seemed to stabilize. She looked pissed. Despite the correct outcome...the judges are going to take some well-deserved heat over their poor performance in Beijing.
