She did nothing wrong, there is no reason to blame her for a decision of the referees. Timekeeping is not part of her job, and the Korean could have used the extra time just as well to score btw, but did not. | ||

"When there is one second left on the clock it could be one second or one second and 99 hundredths of a second," Heidemann said. "Whenever there is a hit it always goes back to one second. Maybe they should think about how the times are recorded, maybe there should be half seconds. "I have experienced this against myself before and I am happy with the decision that was made. The whole discussion was unnecessary." When the clock is stopped, it resets to the full second. So with 1 second remaining, if there's a halt at even .2 seconds remaining, the clock is set to 1 second for the start of the next action. After the second attack halt was called, unfortunately time went on and it went down to 0, seeing as the only thing they could do was turn the clock back to 1 as that was the lowest time they could set it back to I don't see the problem. It doesn't matter what second it is it rounds off. Paying 55 euros so you can appeal is a bit weird but I guess that just stops people lodging complaints after every match | ||

Yes because she could've made up for the unfair decision ny the referees and be a sportsman yet she choose not to and will be remembered this olympics for tearing her opponent mentally to the ground. | ||

If Men's Epee and Women's Sabre are without European as well, I'll cry. On August 01 2012 03:58 TehPrime wrote: CHOIIII!!!!!!!! well done you kick-boxing parcours-style foil fencer! It seems bad sportmanship is a norm in the korean team. All of his opponent were thrown down ...

Sorta excited to see how Kelsey does since lisward won't stop hyping him up to me and the USA hasn't had much presence in this event before.
