Fencing was tied between the German girl and the Korean girl with 1 second remaining in overtime. Korean girl would have won with the tie because of the draw. There were 2 restarts because of lightning fast double hits in that last second. With yet another start the German girl scored. All three hits combined took more than 1 second though.
 
Its a shame it went down like that at the end but we shouldnt be disappointed, bronze is a huge achievement for us. Spectacular performance from our boys.
 
Anywhere to see the replay of this fencing thing? From the sounds of it the Korean got fucked over. Omega's fault or something?

If you can watch the BBC stream, you can rewind the video. It's a really tricky situation where it looks like both sides are right and they just have to go with the best decision. This will probably set a precedent in case this happens in the future.

This is the best description of what happened.
 
Is someone actually going to explain what the fuck supposedly happened in the fencing?

The last second of the match lasted way more than one second because the clock was halted three consecutive times, and that gave the German athlete time to strike the Korean.

Freaking bullshit, if you ask me.
 
The judges are also human, don't forget that.

But I've had a prize taken away from a team I was win and I know it sucks. And it's not even close because it wasn't the Olympics or anything close to that... So I feel even more for the Ukrainians. Too bad, but at least they know they got fairly placed down to 4th...
 
Fencing: Rewind to the 52nd minute.

There was a double with 1 second left when the Korean had priority. Then another one. The time never seemed to be going down. Finally the German attacked and scored but the question is, how could there possibly have been any time left?

Thanks. I just remembered you can rewind the BBC stream, so I'll take a look.

Agreed, I wonder if they'll care to explain what went wrong.
 
Such a shame that the ref screwed up and has to correct their mistakes. I think GB would be contend with a Bronze if all this shit didn't happen.

I think fencing has that "right of way" rule so the one initiating the attack gets the point?

So you mean the timer that should go down didn't like Fergie time?
 
If this doesn't go in SK's favour, are they out of fencing or bronze/silver medal?

Also, fencing scoring system sounds fucked.
 
So you also think the result is a prick of the highest order?
They booed it when it was changed. We have very few medals and I view Japan - after fucking up - of stealing it. That's it. Make no mistake I am as salty as fuck and not at all as gentlemanly and polite as other British people.
 
Japan shaking the british hands but not the Chinese out of respect for the silver incident

damn classy

WELL DONE JAPAN!

btw, no booing from the crowd

class all around
 
It's irrelevant as now it'll go down in the minds of people as theft. A very "honourable" theft from Japan.

How is it not honorable? Why do you think there's an appeal system?

The judges used video replay to get a more accurate ruling.

That Korean girl needs to play for the brozen medal match right away... I think that's fucked up.
 
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. The Chinese in the 400 IM had a faster final 100 m than LOCHTE in his gold medal win. She would have beaten the gold medal man. Holy fuck. And she is 16 YEARS OLD. China is breeding superhumans.
 
crowd cheered japan, how sporting

I watch a lot of MMA, Joe Rogan said (of the UK fans) we will always clap for talent, even if the fighter beat one of ours.

Yeah, no. All that salt will kill you. Enjoy the Bronze and stop getting upset.

Bronze is great, seeing that grey text under your name will be greater. Guys like you can't help yourself, seen it enough times.

Well that would depend on the time differential of the first 300m, no? What were the final time splits?
 
Yeah, and his friends:





But my statement might have been too sweeping.

Watching Sarcastic Response commit account suicide will be a small condolence though.

One got banned and I don't even know where red blaster is from and Big Johnson is from Canada but sure keep insulting americans when there have been more than the two selective quotes that aren't even from freaking americans feeling bad for Britain. You come off as a colossal asshole for no reason. I'm glad you judge people by ignorant stereotypes that every person who acts like an asshole is American. SMFH
