Occam’s Carbuncle;
Anyone who watched only the CBC’s coverage of the Russian gymnast Nemov’s high bar routine would have seen a crowd protest of a score perceived to be far too low for the effort put forward by Nemov. In CBC’s version of events, the score started out at 9.762 and the crowd’s unruliness lasted perhaps five minutes. Not much else happened. Nemov came out to quiet the crowd, then competition resumed.
The unedited US coverage told the rest of the story.
And a big thank you to Kate for doubling Friday’s traffic.
