Speech by Alexei Nemov at the XXVIII Olympic Games (Athens), unfortunately, was overshadowed by a serious scandal. Then, in 2004, Alexei came to the games in the rank of the leader of the Russian team. Traumatized before the match, but while remaining an obvious favorite, Nemov demonstrated a high performance class and the complexity of the program. The performance of the gymnast on the crossbeam included difficult elements, including one of Ginger's flights (a backward flip backwards with turns) and a bundle of three Tkachev flights (swinging forward with a counter-movement back without flips). But, despite the incredible complexity of Alexei's speech, the judging estimates were clearly understated (9,725 on average).

The public, indignant at this behavior of refereeing, standing supported Nemov with applause. At the same time, expressing disagreement with the decision of the judges with unceasing whistles, screams and roar, the auditorium for 15 minutes did not allow the next gymnast to perform his program. For the first time in the history of gymnastics, the scores were changed (to an average of 9,762), which still deprived Alexei of the medal. The spectators stopped protesting only after Nemov's personal request to calm down. After this conflict, the jury was partially changed, and the gymnast received an official apology. Also, rules were amended: in addition to evaluating techniques, a complexity assessment was introduced that takes into account the links between complex elements and each element individually. This conflict is an unprecedented event in the history of sports.
