Figure skating was like this, but the system was completely rehauled. Now, it is much better, it took a lot of the subjectivity out of it, which I think gymnastics needs to do also. I don't think our system is perfect, but at least now, if you land, say, a double flip, if it's cheated (ie, not quite full rotation) you don't get full marks, and that's the way it should be.
