Artistic

Unfortunately many of the artistic competitions were marred by irregular scoring which led to three officials being suspended when they under marked South Korea's Yang Tae Young in the men's all around competiton leaving United States Paul Hamm to take gold. Similar problems marred the men's team competition as well.

On the final evening of competition the crowd delayed the Men's High Bar apparatus final when they continued to boo the low marks awarded to Alexei Nemov.

On a much sadder note, German gymnast Ronny Ziesmer was paralysed [1] after an accident during a warm up. Joanna Skowronska of Poland was also severely injured when she broke her neck whilst training.

*S. Korea's Gymnastics Team contested Yang's horizontal bars score after judges neglected to add 0.100 to the routine's start value (thereby increasing Yang's horizontal bars score to 9.812, and his total score to 57.874 - and also elevating him to a gold-medal position). Although the judges have been dismissed, as of August 28, 2004, no official resolution has been agreed upon on this protest.

Rhythmic

Another judging debacle swept into the rhythmic gymnastics portion of the 2004 Olympic Games. The United States gymnastics team protested the technical score of 4.600 (out of 10.000) that American rhythmic gymnast Mary Sanders received in her hoop routine during individual all-around qualifications. The claim stated that the score was unusually low, especially considering that Sanders had frequently scored much higher than that in National and World competitions, and that her Olympic hoop routine was free of visible or serious errors. The FIG, however, declined the protest, and additionally, never cited an explanation for the decline (or the judging decision). Ultimately, Sanders received a 21.250 (out of 30.000) in the hoop routine, leaving her to finish in 15th place out of 24, and failing to qualify into the Finals.
