Are we related?! My Mom is driving me crazy by telling me stuff. The first words out of her mouth every night is " Did you see.... win?". Followed by her saying " Oh, you probably don't want to hear the results do you.?", umm I think you already did thanks!

Is your mom in Nova Scotia right now?

I managed to cut her off "MOM! You're 4 hours ahead! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW".

Thankfully she comes home tomorrow.

When did they add instant replay to the judging arsenal for gymnastics?

First, judges on the floor give initial scores. Then the head judge can authorize a second look in which a gymnast's scores can be devalued or increased based on slow motion or regular speed replays.

Even after that, I'm guessing it still isn't going to "fix" the judging problems.

Nope, she's was in the midwest yesterday and did it again last night! The good news is she's flying to Laughlin today so she'll only be an hour ahead on tv. Of course I'm guessing she'll be too busy playing bingo to notice the Olympics for the next week but when she gets home it will start all over again!
