Interesting about calling attention to the judges. One would think that with all the electronic devices they can replay if a call is challenged, there would be less of skewing the results to favor their favorite competitor or what have you.
They have had so many technological devices rigged in the sports they can to avoid bad calls. I tripped over a video on YouTube about famous cheaters in the history of the Olympics and there was one in Fencing where they had an electronic sensor measuring for contact between the tip of the foil (? the rapier thingy) and the body/head of the opponent. Apparently it has to be solid enough of a strike to make it count as a point. Well, the famous cheater in Fencing rigged his foil to jump to read as a contact without actual contact happening. Needless to say, he was caught or he wouldn't have made it into that YouTube video. My guess in olden days he would have filled the slot of the villain. Definitely would have sported a handlebar mustachio and would sneer and envy everything he saw.
I suppose that so long as there are winners and losers, there will be cheating. Sort of reflects life in general.
