[Ill Advised]

And potential bronze any second in the Taekwondo

 

[Ill Advised]

Oh she needs another win

 

[dmlaw]

And potential bronze any second in the Taekwondo

She has to win this one and then another one to get the bronze.

 

[FetchFugly]

Well Laura apparently has NO REGRETS

 

[Joseph]

 

[Suedehead]

The men’s 10,000 was so sexual!!!!

 

[Ill Advised]

Well Laura apparently has NO REGRETS

But a personal best, you can’t grumble

 

[Ill Advised]

And Bell knocked 14 seconds off her PB

 

[win_the_game]

Will it be reallocated to the Romanian gymnast? It was horrible to see her celebrating, only to lose it as a result of the last-minute US inquiry.

 

[Madison]

I refuse to believe that there is a famous athlete called Bell who is not on Moopy’s definitive list of Bells.

 

[Madison]

Will it be reallocated to the Romanian gymnast? It was horrible to see her celebrating, only to lose it as a result of the last-minute US inquiry.

Yes. If the US’s inquiry has literally been last-minute, they would have kept the medal. They were too late.

CAS’s ruling:

[rhythmbandit]

And potential bronze any second in the Taekwondo

And a silver or gold in the mens Taekwondo.

 

[Finn]

I would have posted her a few months back, if that thread was run properly and fairly, and I wasn't forced to boycott it

 

[Suedehead]

And yes let’s face it
Bell
Queen of pop!!!

 

[Ill Advised]

And Bell knocked 14 seconds off her PB

The BBC lied to me. It was four seconds

 

[Madison]

It looks like the high jumpers might be up to shenanigans again. How do they still not have a tiebreaker?

 

[dmlaw]

It looks like the high jumpers might be up to shenanigans again. How do they still not have a tiebreaker?

I don’t mind a tie if they both fail three times at the same height. If they just decide to share the event without even trying, they should both get silver.

 

[FetchFugly]

Eurosport are saying Kerr has the gold, the BBC were saying they had the same card

 

[Madison]

I don’t mind a tie if they both fail three times at the same height. If they just decide to share the event without even trying, they should both get silver.

It’s ridiculous. They are failing to find the best jumper in the world - for the second games in a row.

 

[Finn]

It’s ridiculous. They are failing to find the best jumper in the world - for the second games in a row.

Oh no, however will the world cope?

 

[Madison]

Yep, this sport is broken.

 

[FetchFugly]

Eurosport FAILED

 

[Madison]

Eurosport are saying Kerr has the gold, the BBC were saying they had the same card

He had gold because he couldn’t lose gold.

EDIT: Oops

 

[Madison]

WOW - they are jumping on

 

[Madison]

I apologise to Lord Coe.

 

[dmlaw]

Actually, it seems like they do have tie breaker rules, they can just choose to both have golds. I say again that the rule should be two silvers if you choose to share it.

 

[Finn]

Did Kerr suggest to McEwen that they share the gold, only for McEwen to be all "fuck that"?

 

[D5K]

Are they making up the rules as they go along?

 

[Madison]

Come on Kerr - you got this.

 

[FetchFugly]

So the rules are now that the whole card doesn't matter, only back one height... which surely means they will get this situation happening much more often. Seems quite unfair too.

 

[win_the_game]

They're failing heights which they cleared earlier in the competition. They should have just shared the medal or gone with the previous countback rule.

 

[Madison]

It’s the Olympics, not Lord Coe’s Best Friend Race. We need a winner.

 

[Madison]

We made Isner and Mahut play until one of them died, and that was just tennis.

 

[Ill Advised]

Bronze in the synchro swimming

 

[Kratz]

Who went arse over tit in the relay?!

 

[dmlaw]

Turns out that GB has meant Gets Bronze all along.

 

[Kratz]

Oh good it was FRANCE

 

[Madison]

There is a result in the high jump…

 

[rhythmbandit]

60th medal there.

61 in the Taekwondo, possible 62 if lady Taekwondo wins bronze and 63 if the dancing swimming ladies stay top.
