"isn`t it ironic" ? 

 

Canada is a very "fair" nation, he probably has a tough time though

Just saw Isinbayeva's comments, pure comedy gold 

 

Isinbayeva: "Winning gold without Isinbayeva is not a real gold. Of course I will congratulate the new Olympic champion, but even she will know it isn't a real gold."

 

You get a million chances to be angry as hell about the people responsible for you not competing (her government/authorities/federations), and this is what she says 

 

Oh, how beautiful. 

[heywoodu 15,335]

By the way, perfect reaction from Dunfee himself to the whole incident

 

In short: "Reinstating Arai to 3rd place was the only right decision."

When I see her or hear her in an interview I feel nothing but aggressiveness. This *****, that supports a man who gives a shit about human rights or country's borders, blaming everyone but the ones who are really responsible. How the hell did she get elected for IOC?!?

i have watched the scene in live :the Canadian hit the Japanese with the elbow

the bronze is for Japan

Just like driving, if you're the one behind it's your responsibility not to hit the guy in front of you.  In any case, it was pretty clear the Japanese guy hit him on purpose.  

 

With the decision in the replay last night and now this, no one can say the judging is fair.  I said last night that I thought the re-race was the best solution but it wouldn't have been done for any other country.  They just proved that.  Absolute farce.

It's sad. I really liked her until the 2013 Worlds. Since then it's just gone the wrong way!

Come on. If even the athlete in question says "it was not intentional, the only mistake made was that I let it put me off mentally" and "Arai in 3rd is the only right decision", that's the end of the story. I trust Evan's judgement more than yours, mine or anyone else's in this case

 

And no. It has nothing to do with the USA 4x100 team.
