Disputes of the Event

There is a major debate concerning the Russian Gymnast Anna Pavlova. Her first vault scored a 15.625, placing her well in medal contention. On her second vault, though, she thought she had received confirmation from the judges and as a result, left before the green light. She was given a 0 on her second vault.
