On Day 1, a German badminton player was taking on one from the Maldives, and it got to 8-1 before anyone noticed that the umpire was awarding points to the wrong player.... |  | |  |

they are just getting ready for the next time we host it.
Honestly people do seem to be looking for things to moan about, going to work this morning i saw more camera crews reporting on the travel than actual commuters. |  | | |

Scandal in the fencing. The clock was stopped a 1 second, and four seperate plays were allowed to be undertaken without the clock ever ticking down to 0, in which time the German scored a winning point and the Korean staged a 1 hour+ sit-in protest.
The Korean coach was even forced to PAY to have an appeal heard.
In fairness to the Korean she was completely robbed. | | | |

So its a balls up by a referee/judge, just like in every other sport all over the world.
Hardly an "Olympic cock up" in the LOCOG sense as everyone seems desperate to get their teeth stuck into is it! |  | | |

Having sat through an hour long sit-in, apparently this wouldnt have happened outside of an Olympics as the referee usually does the timekeeping and officiating, but for viewers who arent afficionado's, in the Olympics, the timekeeping is seperate so that the referee can make more obvious, clear judgements.
Its not LOCOG's fault, but then nobody said it was... [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

In most senior international finals (ie. quarters onwards) someone else will be starting and stopping the clock, so the ref has his/her hands free. I'm told at these Olympics it's one of the volunteers.So some poor volunteer (who'll be a young fencer him/herself) will be going home tonight knowing that her mess-up cost the Korean girl an Olympic medal. Almost worse than being the Korean girl, but not quite. | | | |

same sort of thing in the gym japan werent awarded all the marks they earned so it finished
1. china 2. GB 3.ukraine 4.japan
the japs appealed and after 10-15 mins the scores were changed to
1. china. 2 japan 3 GB 4 ukraine
ukraine gutted broze for 15mins then nothing! JUST as well GB got bronze as if they hadnt finished just above ukraine their would have been put down to 4th and caused a riot ! lol as it was the japs were getting well booed when they were upgraded
again down to poor refs

Isn't the 2012 sticker just put on upside down on the umpires chair? Hardly a major cock up is it? |  | | |
