It's only bad Censorship when the Right do it!  
 
When the Left do it, it is Enlightened Guidance. 

I liked Eriksson's style a lot.
Was real gentleman on field.
RIP

@thiago_simoes Thiago, pls tell me why Sabrina Voinea got such a low score at floor exercise; I can't think of anything...neither can she

What can I say, my friend? hope I'll never feel what Ana Barbosu and Sabina Voinea must've felt today
 
Shameful refereeing, some of you guys may remember what happened to Nadia in 1980. That's it...it seems the book was already written.

The thing is: FIG did nothing. The CAS is the entity responsible for changing the results and FIG merely had to accept their sheer incompetence being exposed. FIG was forced to change the results, and pushing for another change is just not wise at this point. There's nothing that can be done about Voinea's score since her coach did not challenge it when she had the opportunity after the score was displayed. Even the CAS final report released today mentioned this. If FIG had a choice, you can bet they would never have changed the results.

There would be no positives in sharing the medal. The judges did everything to promote the American and screw the Romanian and they probably realize the world actually still pays attention to this sport and see the biased scoring so they found a technical reason not to look biased for once.

BREAKING NEWS: According to Romanian media, TAS (Tribunal arbitral du sport) decided that the bronze medal of floor rutine should be awarded to Ana-Maria Barbosu!

At least Albania got good mercenary in FS.
Not every country could pick or buy the right one.
 

She's still in hospital but the danger is gone...no serious injury

Shit man the romanian had the worst possible fall against Kennedy blades , hope she is not seriously injured 

it will remain as the worst Olympic moment in our history . Yazdani is not just an ordinary athlete. It will take a lot of time to forget this match, it's impossible to describe the feeling, that's more than just heartbreaking. 
 
he was recovering from a shoulder surgery, apparently something happened to him last night. that was stupid to wrestle. he should withdrew before the start. he wrestled with just one hand and probably re-injured himself very badly, it might be the last match of his career. 
 
pfff, even 5 more gold medals (the number of our remaining athletes) won't make up for this. I really don't know if I want to continue watching the next two days, as I'm sure this will affect the rest of the team badly. this is 2012 all over again, that time another Yazdani got injured seriously after beating his only rival and a good Olympic ended up very sad. 
 
that was nice of Ramazanov to not celebrate though

It's always easier for an authoritarian country in this regard. Look at the DDR: was about 16 million population but they managed to win a similar number of medals as the much larger USSR in some editions.

@heywoodu How long should we wait to see you dominate this discipline too?   

Yesterday was an amazing performance from  Cambei  Almost beat  and it was on the fence until the very last attempt. 

Props for  Cambei for going toe to toe with  Hou.  Hope she can get a medal.

Vinesh won clean and fair till reaching finals. Yet she is being ripped off the medal 🏅 due to this 2nd weigh-in rule. Do you think this rule needs to be ammended. What is the logic of cancelling all her achievements that she had achieved when she was within the weight limits during 1st weigh in?

Her execution is still not great in some parts. Bent legs in a stretched double salto, for example. And her artistic performance is still not excellent, but much better than it was last year. She deserved, at least, the bronze medal. No question about it. She did the most with what she had. Chiles only got the bronze medal because she's American.

As our friend heywoody knows like no other, it's better to massage yourself/dog without lotions of any kind; natural pleasure is to be desired
