Default Olympic drama

Anyone see that bit of drama last night with the mens high bar?

Some Russian guy had a near perfect routine, took a small step on the dismount and got terrible scores. Crowd booed for like 10mins, they finally changed his score a bit... but even after the change he still didn't make the top 3. I think he placed 4th overall.

I never saw something like that durring the olympics. Quite odd yet interesting.

That was on the parallel bars. The judges started his routine off with a lower rating than they previously gave it. However, they also missed a 2/10ths deduction because he did one to many holds. So, if everything had been done correctly Paul Hamm still would have won.
