I understand that as long as she stays on the piste she is within her rights of not accepting the judges decision. Is there something else actively going on? Are they still reviewing the time?

They are deciding on the written appeal by the coach, and reviewing the times. I think it's unprecedented, so nothing to base their decision on.

Heh, the BBC commentator just found out about the rewind option.

So far I think it's just going through the formal appeals process to get them to review the timing. Anyone know what the money thing was for? Is it there to prevent spiteful/unnecessary review requests?

I'm disappointed to see Brown lost to Hooper. It was a contentious fight, but he faded. Hooper was a tough opponent, though.

[Napoleonthechimp]

So many swimmers using Beats headphones. Are they sponsors or are they just really popular among athletes?

What do they even listen to?

[owlbeak]

Thank goodness for the BBC, you wouldn't get to see any of these lovely camera angles and thick ass drama on NBC that's for sure.

 

[Salvadora]

Can someone sum up the fencing drama for me? Just tuned in now.

[BKJest]

Wow - Agnel.

 

[Majine]

France cockblocks US again in swimming.

 

[Brinbe]

lol Lochte

Collapsed down the stretch

 

[Nevasleep]

Anyone know what the money thing was for? Is it there to prevent spiteful/unnecessary review requests?

Yes, which seems sensible thinking about it. They get the money refunded if its deemed genuine I believe.

 

[krishian]

Agnel just too strong

 

[Hoo-doo]

Holy shit, look at that french guy go.

 

[Firemind]

Agnel bossing it.

 

[Big-E]

French destroying the pool.

 

[L1NETT]

Wow. French bullet

Edit: Now a member! Woo

 

[smiggyRT]

I hope you really are an athlete there. It would be awesome and worthy of a separate thread so all of OT Gaf will jump in to watch.

His post history suggest he got tickets for boxing, so it doesn't sound like he is competing.

 

[Xun]

So many swimmers using Beats headphones. Are they sponsors or are they just really popular among athletes?

I'm assuming sponsors.

 

[TylerD]

Men's group A 62 kg weightlifting about to get back under way. Love these fly on a wall type shots of the warn up area and general goings on behind the scenes.

 

[GimMick]

Agnel for gold again !

Park and Sun tied for silver !!! Lochte not on the podium.

 

[giga]

Wow.

 

[ColossalLazy]

wow silver medal tie

 

[bud]

fucking hell, you could've parked a bus between agnel and the number two.

 

[Kurtofan]

GOLD MEDAL FOR FRANCE THANKS YANNICK

 

[ag-my001]

Koreans on twitter are upset

https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/@신아람

I don't know any Korean language, but I think I saw one with the analogue of the American English "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

 

[owlbeak]

Can someone sum up the fencing drama for me? Just tuned in now.

My limited understanding is that they were in a sort of "overtime" and tied at 5-5. The German fencer had to score a point to win, due to some sort of random drawing before the "overtime". There was 1 second left on the clock, and they had a few stoppages due to them both hitting each other at the same time, but that 1 second never ticked away. At one point the clock hit 0, they added the one second back, and then the German fencer scored a point and won, with 1 second still remaining on the clock.

The dispute is over how long that 1 second actually lasted, I believe.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Wait a minute... I just saw that fencing footage. There is no way that was 1 second. No god damned way.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Agnel beasting.

Lolchte didn't even medal. Why was he being hyped up, or are his main events yet to come?

And how are they going to decide who gets silver?

 

[Conceptor]

damn Agnel

 

[linkeurena]

Lolchte

 

[Big-E]

Agel deserved it. Destroyed people in the relay, destroyed here too.

 

[Pacbois]

OH My god Agnel ! That last lenght was strastospheric !

 

[Brazil]

Oh come on, this is getting ridiculous. They're still reviewing it, the Koreans still haven't accepted the decision ? I'm sorry, I can't tell if she should've won, but at some point you're just a bad loser.

I'm sorry if her hopes and dreams of four years are holding you back, man.

 

[Biggzy]

Angel destroyed the competition there.

 

[demigod]

I'm surprised USA isn't as dominant in swimming like in 2008.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

damn France you just throw your flag on the ground? lol j/k

French are kings of the pool this year.

 

[L1NETT]

Every Olympics I get into Swimming, but have nowhere to watch between each Games. Wish BBC broadcasted more swimming inbetween Olympics.

You're a bad loser if you complain after you exhaust the due process. That hasn't happened yet...

Unless you're not really the loser...

 

[Zaph]

What do they even listen to?

Probably anything to drown out the crowd noise. Nerves n'all.

She has a right to exhaust her appeals.
