I really don't understand the pay to appeal rule though, what's that about? It's a deposit afaik, if your appeal's accepted you get it back. Discourages frivolous battling, I suppose. This is ugly. Neither of these two are going to win their next bouts, good luck having any mental composure. Incoming UKR gold. | ||

KBS (korean broadcasting) summed up the entire sequence, and the hit came 1.17 seconds after it began at 1 second. Apparently the committee has said that wrong call has been made, but not reverting the decision... I'm just waiting to hear the good news but unlikely.. | ||

It seems like they frequently will say the wrong decision was made but not overturn it in order to not undermine the judges. | ||

No olympics can ever be "worse" than ones we had in germany so far.. hopefully. | ||

It's difficult to have an accurate sense of time when in such an intense moment like that, she had adrenaline pumping through her veins and probably thought she did it. | ||

It seems like they frequently will say the wrong decision was made but not overturn it in order to not undermine the judges. I feel that no other way is pragmatic. If you have no "quick" final ruling, quibbles about decisions would become comon procedure. However "quick" final rulings are prone to mistakes. Imagine declaring half of the winners two days after the event has taken place.... The only way i see is to reduce the amount of mistakes as much as possible, but mistakes will always remain. | ||
