Re: Results in Women’s Gymnastics All-around aren ’t fair!

It's OK, his much ballyhooed but never revealed Constitution that he plans to force upon everyone likely takes care of such trivialities.
The pre agreed to rules state that in the event of a tie, the lowest score (from any of the 4 apparatus) is dropped in order to break that tie.
The REAL travesty is that those same Rules take the top 2 from each Country rather than the BEST from the entire pool.

A beautiful Russian and a beautiful American girl TIED for the Bronze

Metal, yesterday.  Following a long and nerve-wracking deliberation,

the Russian was given the Bronze Metal.  It was explained that the

judges had decided to ELIMINATE the balance beam results for both

girls.  After doing so, the Russian had a higher score on the

remaining three events: vault, uneven bars and floor exercise.

Here is why that was an UNFAIR and thus WRONG result(!):  Since the

Russian had done more poorly than the American on balance beam, the

Russian was FAVORED by ELIMINATING a score that was worse!  Favoring

the Russian and giving that Russian the Bronze isn't morally nor

legally correct!  The only FAIR resolution is to give out TWO Bronze

metals, since both girls tied in the results.

As, perhaps, the most intelligent person on Earth (based on problem-

solving ability, not rote learning of often errant 'facts') I have

devoted much of the last 16 years of my life penning and polishing my

'New Constitution of the United States of America'.  The impetus has

been to make our governments, businesses and social climate be as FAIR

and nondiscriminatory as humanly possible.  Doing such requires

stripping all groups of influence while equalizing, as closely as

possible, the power of individuals to have equal opportunities for

happiness and prosperity.  Moral issues, in too many instances, are

being decided by groups, such as our Supreme Court, who have little,

intellectually and morally, to recommend most of them.  It is my hope

that it isn't too late to have the beautiful American girl get the

Bronze metal that she, too, deserves to have!!!!!
