dcro 10,196 Posted February 20, 2018 #392 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I wonder if IOC will eventually put this in the Strangest moments series on their beloved Olympic channel, just like they did with boxing scandal from 1988. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 7,439 Posted February 20, 2018 #394 Share Posted February 20, 2018 however, I watched carefully the final for the second (and third) time... and I guess that China was DQed because of an impeding with 2 laps to go (when there was the definitive Korean move)... but also the final push just on the line was somehow subject to a possible penalty (it wasn't that fair, "innocent" so to say)...

JoshMartini007 2,379 Posted February 20, 2018 #395 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Overall Italy had the right plan, stay clean and wait for a penalty. There's no way a Canada/China/South Korea race ends with no penalty. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked for Australia in 2002. It was their first ever gold medal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 791 Posted February 20, 2018 #398 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I am surprised that Canada didn't medal ... How did someone from B final win a medal? I think it's insane that you can win a medal from B final, in the end those in B final lost against those in A final, so in which universe does it make sense that they get a better result? Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada and China got disqualified so we act as if they don't exist. Netherlands, originally ranked 5th moved up to 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
