Wait, did the reference judges in london actually have vika in 1st?!? I never knew this!Which event made the difference?

yes 🥲🥲🥲 sorry i missed this ask, it must be weeks ago when this came up

"Based on the reference judges' scores (which were essentially unused; the jury scores were mostly carried through for the top two except once on beam for the Russian), Komova was underscored on floor & beam by about 0.1 or more (E-score discrepancy on other 2 apparatuses was much smaller).

Conversely, Douglas was overscored by the jury judges on floor, bars and beam by about 0.15 each or more (they did, however think her vault was worth some 0.033 more).

If the reference judges (the supposedly more qualified ones, in terms of E-score judging at least) had their way, Komova would have won the Olympic all-around title with 62.1 over Douglas' 61.75.

But what in fact happened in London this summer was this: Douglas was awarded 62.232 points by the regular judges — almost 0.5 more than what the references judges thought she'd deserved, a considerable difference in a sport where victories go down to thousandths of a point — and walked away with the gold. Komova had to settle for 61.973 and the silver."

the link for the results book in the article is broken but here is the pdf:

Speaking of absolutely squandered opportunities in pop culture,

Why the heck wasn't the Tenth Doctor included the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony?

They had the greatest opportunity to pay homage to the longest running sci-fi show ever, that was just starting to blow up internationally, by bringing an actual episode to life. But instead, we got a briefly played apparating TARDIS sound during something else completely that you only catch if you know it (made me extra sad cause I thought it was gonna show up or SOMETHING)

“Hosting the Olympic Games is a privilege, and a responsibility, and it’s not easy to do it well. I think we can look back after ten years, and say that London did it exceptionally well.

“We owe a huge debt of gratitude to everybody who made it possible.”

Her Royal Highness, as President of @TeamGB, this evening joined reception to mark 10 years since London 2012 - celebrating its success and continuing legacy.
