Someone explain to me about the Japanese gymnastics today

Someone please explain. I don't understand why the Japanese were 4th and then got silver because they complained to the judges? The papers are making out they complained so the judges changed the score and a lot of people's comments on these papers are the Japanese are bad losers but I don't understand why the judges would change the score just because of complaints? Surely they wouldn't be so easily swayed? Were the judges at fault in the first place? There weren't any protests from Team GB or the Ukranians about the changes which makes me think perhaps they knew the judges were wrong in the first place? I'm not really getting this.

Hello Corby, long time (ages) no see. You OK?

Yes typing on a mobile phone is really difficult!

A problem of called events that need subjective opinion, sports, I suspect. Less likely to get the problem with events that can be objectively measured by tape measure or clock.
