During the 2008 Olympic Uneven Bar Final, Nastia Liukin and He Kexin tied with a score of 16.725, leading to a tiebreaker. The tiebreaking process involved six judges scoring each competitor on a 1-10 scale. After removing the highest and lowest scores, the remaining four scores were averaged. Both Liukin and He had tied execution scores, so the second round of tiebreaking was needed. After eliminating the next lowest scores, He Kexin’s average was slightly higher, and she was declared the winner.
