Abstract

The pattern of scoring of East Bloc judges for the women's gymnastics events in the Barcelona Olympic games was tested for political bias. The average scores given by East Bloc judges were compared with those given by West Bloc judges and were analyzed statistically. The results of the t-tests reveal that there was little statistical evidence to confirm bloc voting that characterized earlier Olympic games. Only one instance of bias in the team competitions and three in the individual all-around competitions were detected.

Subjects
Olympics -- 1992 AD, Mathematical recreations -- Analysis, Statistics -- Analysis, Mathematics
Abstract

Interesting results can be derived if the medal counts of the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, are adjusted for the size of a country's population. Such an adjustment would place Cuba on top of the standings, with its haul of 14 golds and 31 medals overall. Although the Unified Team bagged the most medals, it still would rank 30th in the Olympic medal point rate, behind the US. Another interesting fact is that medals were spread more evenly among East and West in 1992 than in any other Olympics.
