I feel so sorry for Fan, and for other Chinese WAG who suffered from harsh judging in Rio (maybe for Shang since 2013). But I don't see hope in the next quad, with sheep, grigoras, pirouettes downgraded but more strictly judged, named elements deleted or merged into others (Yang Bo, Lin, Bi, Huang...), accusation on style, and they just never ever had a decent sequence in qualifications. The bias is more deeply rooted than the visible judging on podium.
If I were Fan or Shang I would simply quit the competition, judgers don't deserve to see our performance. But in fact they did the opposite and just moved on. My heart breaks.
The unfairness among the judges is getting so annoying. I mean it's not just a little bit unfair but some gymnasts are obviously overscored by a large amount while others especially the Chinese this time have been way underscored! So unfair considering how hard they work to get to the Olympics
She wasn't underscored here. Unfortunately in quals she made errors and missed connecting 2 skills. That made a big difference to her D score. Judges generally count amplitude and height these days and that's where Chinese gymnasts struggle.
judges robbed her of a spot in the event finals. this was basically the same execution as her quals routine. she likely would have gotten on the podium.
This routine is worth at least a Silver. Kocian was way overscored and even the judges can't help her beat Aliya. If Fan Yilin made it to the EF she could've edged Kocian.
It's nothing like her routine in prelims?! She could have won bronze with this routine yes, but she messed up her qualifying routine. Go and watch it again, you'll see the difference. She missed 2 connections which lowered her difficulty.
Nothing like! Go and watch quals again. She missed 2 connections (had to put an extra swing in between skills) and missed some handstands. It's a real shame for her because this routine (in this video) could have medalled.
I honestly feel so sad for her.She was so obviously robbed.Together with Shang chunsong on beam.

Good routine.

this routine was a lot better, minus the regrasp on the Geinger...
Hardly! She messed up in qualifying and missed 2 connections. It's a real shame for her but the Chinese should have subbed her for Shang.
0:14 sounds like announcer is saying "for those who died on balance beam" lol
I think she was saying the name of the gymnast that was on beam but fr it actually sounds like that
Literally her exact same routine from prelims. UGH She could've won bronze!!
This routine is worth at least a Silver. Kocian was way overscored and even the judges can't help her beat Aliya. If Fan Yilin made it to the EF she could've edged Kocian.
she could've won gold too. she's capable of a 7.1 d score but went for 6.9 here.
she missed two connections in prelims :(

Fan getting a 15.266 for doing basically this exact routine in quals is an embarrassment tbh.
