The substance of what he says is simple and would fit inside three or four minutes if allowed to talk at his own pace.
He outlines some statistics about judging coincidences- no coincidences of whole judging sheets at the euros for instance, but something like 56 in 117 Bucharest exams sheets. What he's really exercised about is the disappearance of them, a miracle on a par with Our Lady Mary taking off with them into the sky (~8.00)
He's also exasperated by the fact that rhythmic gymnastics does not become effectively worldwide by implying a closed shop of the usual suspects.
He does not go in enough detail for us to tell that the appeal by the accused judges succeeded because the original evidence of the exam sheets disappeared, but from his frustrated manner it seems like it. |

Those sheets were last seen in Szyszkowska's room, for which only her and her husband had access.
Guess what happened. _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

More of Grandi, he definitely uses his position to speak out:
"My objective is to create new rules and to prove to the IOC that rhythmic gymnastics can work correctly”

Bravo Grandi!!
Love the way he expresses anger while answering and the "miracle" thing irony
I wish this could have direct implications to those "odd" apples. Let's see if he takes some further actions than just speaking out loud.
So far, looks like the beginning of something different. |

My feeling is from Grandi's interview that he has to defend the sport, that's why he made a stand. He's pretty pissed off, too. _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

I'm not sure FIG wants to give a lot of tasks to those ones who were involved in the scandal _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

I'm a bit unclear on all of this. He said that no cheating has gone on in competitions, just the exams. So is he saying judging up until then has always been fair? Also, the thing about the 'miracle' not repeating itself. I.e judges not scoring the same in Montpellier for example, is that a good thing?! _________________ Jon |

Grandi began his response explaining there is no consistent agreement on what is or isn't present as difficulty in the first place and that the technical committee has been evasive about it for 16 years. - "President, it is impossible to evaluate the difficulty exactly"
As I remember it, he gave two statistics of how judges scoresheets coincided in practice- 2 of 488 in Montpellier WC, 0 in Wien EC. So 56 of 117 coinciding in Bucharest was miracle enough, and the scoresheets disappearing was miraculous also.
If anyone gets confused about this it must be the translator's fault because Mr. Grandi tries very hard to make it simple! |

It doesn't really make sense. If you have unqualified judges, then that obviously has an effect on the competition scores. Right? I don't get that either.
As for Montpellier, it seems like he's just showing how much craziness was going on during the exams that there was a 'miraculous' boost in accuracy. That somehow so many judges were able to easily match the reference score when it's very difficult to do so. That plus how many of the sheets were the same, including their mistakes, makes the situation a bit funny. _________________ Tumblr |

This is what I mean... Also judges are watching the same routines and evaulating them according to the same rules, so scores should be at least similar (although not miraculously identical like in Budapest). But if there was such disparity in Montpellier, why wasn't this addressed then? There's no point talking about it 2 years down the line!! And what about the reference judges, how did judges score against their marks? It's probably irrelevant anyway, as they are corrupt too. Furthermore, as far as I'm aware, only a certain difference is tolerated between judges sccoring the same routines on the same panel. If one judge deviates too much, she/he is the one considered cheating, even if it's that judge who is judging fairly! I personally think the judges should be seperated around the floor area like naughty school girls and then let's see what scores they come up with.
Another question, no judges have been found to be guilty as such but some were named in the article Gergely wrote. Natalia Gorbullina is one of them. She is considered an expert and trains judges around the world as part of the FIG academy. It looks like she wasn't at the latest one in Greece, coincidence?
Lastly, who were the panel in Kiev overseeing the judging? _________________ Jon |

Hey, that was NOT in Budapest
Judges not hitting the reference mark is the normal way of things. Montpellier, Tartu etc. results were used to show that in regular competitions there is never such a similarity between reference scores and judge scores as in Bucharest - hence the Bucharest results could have only been achieved by intentional leaking of the answers.
Re: cheating at competition. I don't think Grandi can accuse anyone of that, because there is absolutely no proof for that and that wasn't even investigated. Though the disciplinary decision states that using unqualified judges result in unfair scoring.
Re: Kiev superior panels:
The superior jury was Sawade (GER, president), Bourova (BEL, D Hoop/Clubs), Davidov (ISR, D Hoop/Clubs), Kim (KOR, D Ball/Ribbon), Starcevic (CRO, D Ball/Ribbon), Pachta (GRE, execution), Milanesio (ARG, execution)
The special competition supervisory board was Slava Corn (CAN, FIG 1st vice president), Morinari Watanabe (JPN), Hardy Fink (CAN, education director), Eunice Lebre (POR, FIG sports manager), Terhi Toivanen (FIN, FIG sports manager) _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |
