Judge Ye Not

It seems that even Olympic judges are mortal.

An error in scoring the gymnastics final on Wednesday, meant that Paul Hamm won gold instead of Yang Tae-young from South Korea.

Three judges have been suspended, but the result will stand; as the South Koreans did not lodge a complaint in time.

The names of the judges have not been released.
