Isn't it funny that only German websites are reporting that "information"?

do you watch BBC? they just explain that Shin couldnt have one because there was a technical infringement during the last second and she was given a yellow card, that's why they put a second back on!
 
Red white blue. Looks like Barack sent some fighters to let them know who's boss. USA USA

I could be in this picture! I was standing outside at the concessions on that side of the Stadium when they flew over.

* Sorry for posting so late... I was in London until late last night so I'm just catching up on this thread. I also didn't want to use my cell data when I was there since I don't have a good travel plan. The opening ceremonies were amazing to see live, and I also got to go to a couple of other events Saturday too.
 
Else lucky Korean for drawing the right straw.



I can't tell, but after they checked twice I'm going to side with the refs for now. Again, she didn't show too much sportsmanship (in my opinion), so at this point I have a hard time feeling sorry for her right now (though I still wouldn't mind if she won at least the bronze medal). I just hope they don't boo the German fencer afterwards.



There's always some bullshit at the Olympics.


First of all. Unless the TV screen time was not correct, the korean should have won.

Second of all, she had to stay inside the ring, otherwise it would have been an official acceptance of the refs decision.

Third, when she finally were given the second decision, the ref. was talking to her in FRENCH!

Fourth, she had to sit in the ring for 1 hour, not able to leave!

I mean, everyone but the german fans and refs agree that it was a faulty decision. I guess, the refs have some info, we dont.

Nope.

Either way, that's not the version the German websites are reporting and that I'm calling out.
 
Japanese filed a complaint after competition that one of their athletes got too low score for his practice and judges checked video and upped his score, so they ended up 2nd and not 4th

It was a objective mistake by the refs. They calculated the difficulty wrong, it has nothing to do with the subjective, execution score.

Its amazing,how, even though the british commentators explained this clearly, people still think "boooooooo, japan cheated"
 
Shin with those footsies in fencing. Reminds me of fighting games. Gotta watch with those crouching light attacks lol

Sun's got those intimidating lunges though. Tied up

Or that could be for the French, or even... this is a longshot... Britain.
