I haven't seen fencing on tv these entire Olympics. What Canadian channel is showing it? TSN,
Sportsnet and CTV not showing fencing right now. Am I missing a channel?

Thank you, NBC, for stopping the live stream access after the event was over while scoring appeals were still being heard.

Thanks.

 

[zroid]

that's fucking nuts, man. J-dorama up in here

Sorry brits and ukrainians

 

[Koodo]

The medal ceremony will be so awkward.

 

[krishian]

Poor Ukraine, they got fucked the worst here. ;_;

 

[Atrophis]

Guess it wasn't real life :/

 

[Dr.Acula]

Yeah go fuck yourself referees. This is what happened when the korean got cheated of his gold in the 2004!

To be fair, it's probably because of him that teams are quicker with the protests.

 

[Nista]

Yeah it might be time to bail out of this thread due to saltiness and drama bomb in the live sports. We need some cute korean archery to save the day!

And my hockey comment was a bit of sarcasm, since field hockey is considered an unpopular female sport over here. And I'm admittedly biased because roller/street hockey is way more fun.

 

[Miles X]

Bronze is amazing, GB should be happy with that!

 

[numble]

Disappointing

Can omeone give me cliff notes as to what is happening in the Fencing?

I think the last point was scored with 1 second to go, but they're protesting and saying the last second lasted 3 seconds.
I'm just going what I remember what other Gaffers said.

 

[Meadows]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

watching on BBC's feed.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Imagine being one of the Ukrainian athletes.

 

[Firemind]

Wait, Japan got silver in the team gymnastics? I thought they got 4th place after botching it in the last discipline.

 

[Sealda]

they were complaining over the difficulty. Not the execution.

 

[davidsaurus]

Thank you, NBC, for stopping the live stream access after the event was over while scoring appeals were still being heard.

Thanks.

Rofl, oh dear. Silly NBC.

 

[ag-my001]

Their website still lists Japan in 4th, as well.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Bronze is amazing, GB should be happy with that!

It was the manner of getting that will leave a sour taste in our mouths.

 

[dc89]

 

[BigJonsson]

Well its London, the land of complaining

 

[fuenf]

FUCK YEAH GERMANY!

 

[Nolan.]

Ukraine should protest

 

[inky]

Imagine being one of the Ukrainian athletes.

Heartbreaking.

 

[Zaph]

In protest I will be giving up sushi for a month.

 

[Brazil]

German girl won in fencing. Korean girl looks absolutely desolated.

Japan are pricks of the highest order.

Do you think the judges would've accepted the claim in British ground if it wasn't fair? Come on.

 

[2MF]

But BBC said the decision was fair.

 

[Meadows]

FUCK FUCK FUCK

WE DESERVED IT

FUCK

HOW ABOUT YOU FUCKING APPEAL BEFORE YOU ANNOUNCE THE FINAL RESULTS YOU FUCKS FUCK

 

[Mr Cola]

Amazing how a few minutes can change things, it feels awful now but 15 mins ago id have bitten your hand off for a bronze

 

[Brinbe]

And they just gave it to the German. Korea salty

Y'all might finally get a medal now!

 

[MasterShotgun]

About time. The German gets awarded the point in fencing.

 

[Pixel_boy]

Japan slip up and they knew it lol how can they give more point for that mess?

 

[LTWheels]

I should be ecstatic that we got bronze, but ...

 

[fuenf]

Korea screwed over, German advancing to the finals (pending appeals)

 

[mclem]

Yeah, I'm still perfectly happy with bronze. I just really feel sorry for the Ukranians more than anything else.

 

[Psychotext]

Takes away from the awesomeness of the bronze (everyone will remember that we lost the silver rather than getting a bronze which no-one expected). Such a shame.

 

[Big-E]

Korean coach is pissed.

 

[Clydefrog]

Shenanigans!

 

[maniac-kun]

GERMANY WON AT FENCING (after 30 min of discussion)

 

[Clever Pun]

Do we know yet why they changed the score they gave Japan?

 

[Nevasleep]

Korean girl is crying.

 

[SteveWD40]

Americans in this thread livin up to the obnoxious American stereotype I see, your not even in that finale so what the fuck do you care? Sucks for the Ukraine more than anyone.

 

[Wes]

Need to see what happened in the Fencing. The Korean looks absolutely distraught.

 

[FOOTE]

This thread is bonkers. BONKERS!

 

[demigod]

Brazil scoring for USA in Women's Volleyball.

 

[Willkiller]

What the hell happened in the fencing?!

 

[Altazor]

two controversies at the same time... damn. Korean coach is FUMING.

edit: oh and that poor Korean fencer

 

[BadWolf]

If the appeal got accepted then its fair, would of been dumb of Japan not to at least try.

 

[Nista]

Congrats Germany (for now)!

Though it'll be somewhat ironic if she goes on to be defeated in the next round due to all this.

Americans don't always root for their own team. I'm allowed to be happy for Japan getting the silver, same as when they win some of the judo bouts.

 

[davidsaurus]

Now there's a lot of salty brits in here. Look, if the judges didn't mess up then we'd have got the Bronze. It's only fair that if in review they realise they misjudged something that they adjust the scores appropriately.

PS. It seems like Fencing is the worst sport in the Olympics for drama.
