Yes, indeed, I can see why you'd think that.

Just watching the final of the football. Nothing overly exciting, but Argentina lead 1-0 with a little under ten minutes left....

British girl Sarah Stevenson just got ripped off in the Taekwondo semi-finals against a Chinese girl.
She clearly scored with a head shot but the judges, somehow, didn't give it!
This was after the judges constantly refused to penalise the Chinese girl for being 'in-active' during the fight.
Outrageous!

I watched that as well. The decision was treated with the contempt it deserved.

Truly shocking decision....... Perhaps I ought not to mention that there seem to be a lot of Chinese golds decided by judges........

It's looking as though the appeal has been successful. Just waiting on the official announcement (unless I missed it with Mrs SE13 doing the hoovering around me)

Nice one! They didn't really have much option in my opinion. How anyone could have missed it is beyond belief!

She's struggling a bit, can't be easy to be told you're out and then an hour later be told you're back in.

The crowd are supporting the Mexican very vocally...

She lost 4-1 to the Mexican, still the bronze medal to aim for though.
