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?

but dont forget that the only reason that the Korean would've won was because of an randomly drawn advantage..
 
Does the clock show tenths of a second in fencing or just whole seconds? There could be a discrepancy between the visible clock and the official clock (1 second on visible vs. 1.9 on the official), but even so, there are images of '72 basketball coming to mind.
 
Just rewatched that last bit of the fencing match. There was definitely some bullshit going on with that clock, but I really don't know the official rules of fencing enough to pick sides.
 
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

Calm down my dear, I said my statement may have been too sweeping so breath easy.
 
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.

She's beasting in the 200 IM.
 
Wow, who is in the white cap for swimming? She's freaking schooling everyone.

Edit: Ah, apparently it's China.


Calm down my dear, I said my statement may have been too sweeping so breath easy.

Sweeping and incorrect. Don't call me dear, you're allowed to insult a country that people aren't from completely justified but then brush away me being annoyed by your ignorant comments. Your comments were completely uncalled for just like the people who got banned. I'm done.
 
When the result was changed there was booing. It doesn't matter anyway. The whole thing is done.

obviously, but when the medal ceremony happened I, and others, feared Japan would be booed, but they weren't which shows class from the crowd

also, can I point out that a British referee gave Japan the silver, so people can know it's a fair games, no home advantage

But she needed the faster final while Lochte didn't. So it's not really a fair comparison to the Shiwen.
 
Watching these images of the fencing arena with no commentary at all is simply amazing.

Good Lord, a slow zoom out from above, Hollywood can't do it better!

Fencing Update

The German media is reporting that the time was scored correctly during fencing. There were 1.9s left after the first hit, 1.2 after 2nd hit and the winning hit was still within the time limit.

The problem was that the official scoreboard clock only shows full seconds (while the time is kept in tenths). Figure in the human reaction time to start the clock and this could make sense..

Why would the SK fencer won if time ran out? That's the one thing I haven't figured out yet.

these a draw of straws before extra time to give one of the fencers an advantage (win) in case that they dont score any points.
