Also there is nothing on the internet about this but IOC and IAAF list Dunfee as the bronze medalist.

Exactly my thoughts. I wonder if they can take this to the CAS.

If Canada's appeal was successful, they should have looked at the counter appeal first before a final decision was made.

Exactly.

 

if It was an American there is no way that the verdict would have changed.  You put the rules for everyone or not at all.

Dunfee loses his medal now... Japan's appeal is successful 

 

That is ridiculous.

I mean, how does it go?  "He bumped me!" "Yes, clearly.  He's disqualified".  "No I didn't" "Ah, I see your point.  Reinstated!"  

 

Also, Henderson had a horrible day on the links.  +4 on the day.

 What on earth? That's truly a crazy result for a Canadian.

Pagnotta into the repechage for taekwondo

 

But she needs to beat the 3rd and 4th seeds to win the bronze

Well, it was a great run.  De Grasse was spectacular on that last leg.  Japan...you're on the list after today.

Now there's a question about lane violation on Japan!  I thought so on the replay, but I didn't want to be a sore loser.  But it's the exact same as Canada in 2012.
