- Two times when the audience/crowd helped the judges get it right in gymnastics: 1978 worlds with Nadia Comaneci and Kathy Johnson, the 2004 Olympic event finals on high bar with Alexei Nemov.

I was there pregnant with my daughter…booing as loud as I could. My daughter’s name is Alexi
I was there too, it was insane!
From Russia with love.
@Corrie how did Alexi boo if she was in your belly!
And Nemov still didn't get a medal. What a disgrace.
The best NEMOV forever.
I remember watching this live as an American of course I wanted the Americans to win gold and everything but not if it meant someone getting legitimate screw, and name off, got screwed hard on that score, but was one of the best displays of sportsmanship for name of knowing you got screwed to come out and quiet the crowd to let the show on because he didn’t want to screw the other athletes out of a chance to compete
Yes, he was so courteous
Kathy’s floor routine was beautiful, I wish the dance elements, musicality, and artistry were still present.
I LOVE THIS. they should've done this at 1997 worlds beam final
Right they did Kui Yuanyuan so wrong! Gina Gogean didn’t deserve that gold!
The very definition of "there's power in numbers"
Good!
I remember watching this & the Hamms where not worth their bacon that year... Nemov deserved better.
Tbh this booing would feel great for any artist, that the crowd wants the score to be changed. He finished 5th, but in many hearts he won.
It’s amazing how times have changed. A double twist dismount is considered high endurance, and now it’s almost worth nothing
The equipment has clearly changed as well!!
Yes, and that's why we see huge skills, but then again, there are also now thousands of cheerleaders who can do double fulls on mats like this. @@worldartgym
They were artist s to o. Not j ust athlets. Wonderful to see them. Thank you.
It couldn’t be denied that in every competition there’s always unfair in judging .
Extraordinario, todo sea porque sean justos para los atletas que tanto han hecho para llegar aquí 😊
Bien muy bien exelente rutina de. Alto grado de dificultad Álex en esa época el mejor. Bien muy bien 👍
wow, would be nice if scores changed from an extended period of jeers these days. can there even BE an inquiry on anything other than d score these days?
no, only the D score can be inquired, you cannot inquire or challenge the E score
I was there. It was crazy. But the crowd would not quiet… That’s why Akexei tried to quiet the crowd.
9.80 to Nadia's 1978 AA routine was a joke. Well the judges dropped it down to 9.60 in the floor final. The worst of Nadia ever
If Paul Hamm and his coach had any sportsmanship whatsoever, they would have petitioned for Niemov to receive a better score before competing next.
Instead, the look on paul hamm's face looks like he's the one put out. Gymnasts stick up tor each other in these cases, so unfair judging won't happen again.
But since its an evil Russian, who cares , right America?
USA! USA! USA!
That was a huge step by Nemov. I would have given a 9.70. He got a 9.725
I LOVE THIS. they should've done this at 1997 worlds beam final
I agree, it was later confirmed that the scoring was a mistake, but the medals have already been handed out so they can no longer change it. I think Kyiv also went last, so the booing wouldn’t have caused a disruption regardless for the judges to reconsider their decision
