Ah for fuck's sake...
has anyone seen the men's 4x100m?

Mother of God.

Another WR and gold for Bolt. It's a little silly now.

There's some daft shit going on in the Tae Kwon Do on BBC1.
A Brit and a Chinese were fighting, the judges said the Chinese girl won though she clearly didn't, then there was a bunch of behind-closed-doors meetings and the decision was reversed. The crowd are riotous. Its all worked out fairly in the end, but I hope this sort of bollocks doesn't happen in the boxing tomorrow.

i heard the BBC commentators talking about this during the GB girls semi final (the round she got to cus of the above incident) and they were talking about the behind closed doors meeting.
i wonder did the officials finally realize the hometown decisions were becoming to obvious!!!

RTE were talking about that last night. They were saying ath if the Chinese guy who is fighting before Egan's fight wins gold then there's less likely to be shenanigans going on. Not sure how right they are.

Yeah I saw that, dunno what he was thinking, he should've had a bit more cop on. Typical TKD nonsense......ahem.

Hard luck to Egan. Entertaining fight, I was on the edge of my seat.

And the judging seemed pretty fair, which was nice.
