Judged sports are silly like this all the time. I fully appreciate the skill requirement to compete. But it makes them hard to take seriously at this level of competition.

I can't take any of them seriously since I saw one of those fencing events where they kept pausing just in time so there was one second left on the clock repeatedly, basically taking advantage of rounding to full seconds to drag things out.
