I was watching from the repechage contests on and almost got bored to death, especially the (gold) medal fights. Basically it went like: nothing, nothing, nothing, attack attempt, nothing, nothing, nothing, another unsuccesful attempt, nothing, nothing, golden score, nothing, nothing, nothing, score and over.

I was referring to the upsets and big throws we've watched in the preliminary stages (actualy, there have been some upsets also in the finals session, but nothing compared to the morning)... the big weights are often as you described...so, when something different happens, it should be underlined...
