Korean Gymnast Deserved Gold or Not? Yang Tae-Young

28 year old Yang Tae Young-- one of the top gymnasts on Korea's powerhouse team.

In the 2004 Olympic Games, Yang earned two Bronze Medals -- one for his Team, and one for the All Around.

Yang would have captured Gold from American Paul Hamm if not for a major judging error, which his coaches reported only after the games had ended.


This summer, Yang will try again -- this time leading an even stronger Korean team.

He will be backed by his fellow star teammate, Kim Dae Eun, who captured Silver in Athens for the All-Around...
as well as Kim Jihoon, who helped his team win Bronze at the 2006 Asian Games.
Together, the Koreans are expected to challenge the Big Four -- China, Japan, Russia and the US.

The korean gymnast yang tae young publicly stated that he wanted to break his skull open when he sees him at the olympics. And Of course, the coward paul hamm the closet homosexual with girly voice magically pulled himself out of the olympics, citing an injury! Were you afraid of another "test", paul? That's okay paul, both you and your faggy brother would have been destroyed by Yang wei anyways. You're a first class loser and all around thief!

@XXCCC85XX come on now, you don't really expect fair play and honesty from americans, do you? they're americans, remember? they are entitle to win every competition! if you can't beat em', just cheat, bribe, steal .. that's the traditional of the american sprit! alexei nemov also got robbed out of gold medal. his brother fell backwards and SAT DOWN, and the judges awarded him the gold medal! what a fucking joke!!!

Since you all seem to be so knowledgeable about gymnastics and the subject at hand, you all clearly know that during Young's infamous routine, his start value was incorrectly calculated by one tenth. You then must also know that his routine had 4 hold moves which was a violation and two tenth deduction. However, the judges missed that as well. If it were taken into account, he shouldn't have even earned a bronze. He's an amazing gymnast regardless, but if you want to nitpick, know the facts.

@XXCCC85XX Bahahahha. Hater!!! Paul has the gold. GET OVER IT!!!!!!!

@riderstein If that's the case then yeah it really sucks, to have that happen and then to have it go down the way it did. It seems like there will never be an Olympics that doesn't have some kind of drama to go along with it.

@Christine2188 They did file the complaint immediately. FIG just chose to ignore them and continued with the ceremony. The president of the FIG also texted that the Korean was the "true winner."

@xxcc85xx I think that you should read the FIG rules and regulations on the subject of contesting a score. It clearly states, score protests must be filed immediately, during the actual competition, to be considered. So if all this was so important to Tae-Young and his coaches, then why the hell were they so lazy and didn't even notice the SV posted at the beginning of the meet. So let it go, plus I bet he now knows what Paul was going through after that HUGE screw up in 08.

no one was robbed of gold. Both Korean gymnasts had a big deduction not taken from then on P bars. Its called repetition and it can cost them up to 8 tenths of a point (at that time). So if they want their routines rejudged theyre going to lose a lot more than they'll gain
