In my opinion, the only event worth watching during the summer Olympics is women's gymnastics. (Just as the only one worth watching during the winter Olympics is ice skating.) Sure diving is mildly interesting for a few minutes, but I don't get into it. Everybody has their own tastes. Some watch each and every event. Some don't see the point in watching at all. But I still remember the magnificent seven of '96 and had heard the stories of Mary Lou Retton and Nadia Comaneci. These inspirational and emotional counts made quite the impression on me at a very impressionable age.
That being said, gymnastics judges have become straight up assholes. I obviously understand the need for deductions. And I understand that life is full of changes, therefore I can't complain about the change in scoring. But is it just me, or do they all seem to have a stick up their butt now? Almost like they want the athletes to fail?
