Is it true the tape that would need to be reviewed to determine errors
in scoring also show the Korean making a mistake which would have cost
him 2/10 and the gold if used?

Hi maluca,

Thank you for your question.

Despite judging error, Hamm's gold medal shows no tarnish
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/olympics/2004/writers/08/23/swift.gym/

(The article explains the complex situation in detail.)


"Yes, the videotape of the parallel bars showed the judges erred by
assigning a 9.9 start value. But it showed something else, too. In the
course of his routine, Yang had four holds on the bar, when the rules
allow for a maximum of three. The deduction for that mistake?
Two-tenths of a point.

The judges missed it."
