I'm watching the Women's gymnastic qualifying on NBC, and the Chinese team is currently up. I noticed a discrepency in the scoring for Cheng Fei for the Vault Competition. The score that flashed on TV and that the announcers gave was 15.912. On the Olympics website, the scoring was 16.150. This increase in score gave Fei the top score in the event. Who, might you ask, came in second? Not to mention that Fei did not have a clean landing. Shawn Johnson with a score of 16.000 . Is this an accidental error or rightful rescore, or was this blatant score switching by the Chinese? I might add that the score on the NBC website agrees with the score flashed on TV. Why are the NBC and China website scores in disagreement????
below is the scores

NBC Olympics website Official Olympics websiteUPDATE: ANOTHER DISCREPENCY--- Li Shanshan score a 16.125(according to the China site) but scored a 16.025 according to the NBC site.
Update: I'm stupid, I think. They only showed the second of Cheng Fei's vaults on NBC, and I guess she did get a 16.150 in her first vault (which wasn't aired on TV).
