What part of the score exactly did the judges change? Did they score it wrong to begin with or change their minds? It all happened so fast! (Sorry- "Aly")
shareOn the west coast. Watching it right now. Never seen a gymnastic score dispute before. How can a subjective score be changed?
I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking Him to love her.
If that's the one Bella Koroli(sp) was yelling at the US coach to protest I think Bella thought the score was too low and the judges were not including elements of her routine. As part of the written protest I think the broadcaster said the coach had to write down the elements of the routine as he saw it or the elemets he thought they overlooked. Then I guess the judges replayed her performance.

Same thing happened with the men's team gymnastics - didn't Japan file an appeal and knock the UK out of bronze position.
I've never seen such scoring issues EVER
I was glad they contested Ali's score - she was definitely underscored
I believe they thought she had not been given points for some moves used in combination. Doing moves right after each other and linking them gives you more points and I think they thought she had not been given those points and so were contesting it. (So that would be the technical points part.)
They did, I believe, go back and watch it again and see the combination moves and gave her those points, thus raising her score and giving her bronze.
May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
