Something about messing up the timings? Is this also what happened to the Koreann girl in fencing when she broke down in tears or was it something else?
 
Tuning into tennis for the first time these games, and I was instantly struck by how weird it is to see colors other than white being worn at Wimbledon.
 
From what I understand, each lifter is given a minute to get onto the stage and attempt the lift. However if the athlete goes twice in a row he is given 2 minutes to show up. The 1st Chinese lifter was given 2 minutes. However, one of his opponents (also Chinese) opted to go next. Then he decided to pass his lift and settle on his current score. That made the first guy next again but only with 1 minute to go. He and his trainers never realised they just had 1 minute.

It still shocks me that humans can do things like that.

When one trains for something, you inevitably fuck up at first - sometimes horribly. If you fuck up horribly in gymnastics, you break your neck.
