didn't watch the first round...and actually I was also very much distracted during the second one, but the 3rd round was dominated from start to finish by the Belorussian...

 

if we can call one of the other 2 rounds "tight", the outcome is controversial...

 

The first two rounds were definitely not tight :p 

 

Ok it's not like Dubois totally destroyed her, but she was - quite simply - better.

So, basically you judged the fight on one round, the third which was also the closest, while ignoring the first two rounds which Dubois won pretty comfortably. I would suggest that it is your view that is the controversial one in this instance!

no, I was assuming something wrong for the second round, which I followed very much with half an eye...

 

but the 3rd round (the only one I watched carefully) wasn't close at all...it was totally under control by the Belorussian...

 

those 3 judges that gave it to Dubois are at least biased (if not pure "old style aiba")...

 

p.s. I admit that I'm totally biased when it comes to British amateur fighters, as many of them robbed too many medals in the last 10 years (starting with the second worst scandal ever in Olympic Boxing, the Superheavyweight final in London 2012)...

meanwhile I don't think I'm biased when it comes to former Soviet Union fighters...they are really as awful as they look and only truly corrupted judges gifted them almost all of their medals in history...:pope:

Well, from someone who couldn't care less if GBR or BLR wins: this was a perfectly normal result.

We shall have to agree to disagree. Dubois stood off to some extent in the last round knowing she'd done enough in the first two rounds and I narrowly gave the Belarussian the round as she was going forward and landed a few more punches, although nothing special. The gap in performance was clearly greater in the two earlier rounds. The point is claiming a decision is controversial when it clearly isn't - even the Belarussian knew she'd lost - undermines the case against genuine controversies.

 

As for British amateur boxing I've spent the last ten years frustrated at the bad decisions they've been given in a string of fights, not least London 2012 where Tom Stalker got a shocker against an Indian fighter.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
