SCREWY JUDGING PLAGUES GYMNASTICS: CHINA WINS GOLD IN MEN'S TEAM GYMNASTICS; USA FALLS TO FIFTH

Since this POST something very interesting took place. More screwy judging....

Great Britain was originally named the silver medalist, but Japan filed an inquiry regarding Kohei Uchimura's pommel horse score. Lo and behold, 15 minutes after the competition, the medal order was changed with Japan zooming into the Silver slot and Britain dropped to bronze.

Ukraine dropped out of the medal race into fourth place and the U.S remained in fifth.

Dang it. Here is my ORIGINAL POST!

China beat the United States today for the Olympic gold medal in men’s team gymnastics.

It is the second time in a row that the Chinese have won the Gold in this coveted sport.

Britain took the team silver medal, the first time the British men's team has medaled since 1912, and the boys from the Ukraine took home the bronze.

The Japanese came in FOURTH and the United States dropped back to FIFTH. WTH?

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
