China might actually come on top if US flops in the last day lol. I'd rather they moved to a 3, 2, 1 point system for gold, silver and bronze to dictate the medal standings. It's much more impressive if a country can produce 1 gold medal winner and 100 bronze medals than it is to produce 2 gold medal winners. 1
Wonderland Posted August 11 Posted August 11 (edited) 3 hours ago, VelvetCrush said: To be fair, Hamish Kerr said he wouldn't have accepted a joint high jump medal anyway. His plan was always to go to a jump-off regardles: Quote Explaining why he decided he would opt for a jump-off months before he arrived in Paris, Kerr said his preference was to "add to the history (of Olympic high jump) in a different way". "I talked with my team and on the minute chance I was going to go to a jump-off, I had in my head that I wanted to do it. "I would have been so proud coming in second in a jump-off, prouder than sharing that gold medal knowing that had already happened." Edited August 11 by Wonderland

So sad for Jordan Same. Athletes are usually stripped of medals due to doping or lying about their age, not over judging errors. 2
Gui Blackout Posted August 11 Posted August 11 This such a shitty situation. I feel sad for both of them.
EtherealCat Posted August 11 Posted August 11 they couldnt have just made another bronze? what a weird decision
JennyWayne Posted August 11 Posted August 11 This is definitely the biggest scoring controversy since the 2004 Olympics and that ended up with the FIG completely overhauling the scoring system and abandoning the perfect 10 system I wonder if the FIG will do something to avoid situations like these in the future
*Tim Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Hassan Winning medals in the 5k, 10k and marathon is crazy, let alone finishing her journey with a gold in the marathon. A beast 1

Wonderland Posted August 11 Posted August 11 And America might actually get their gold to top the medal table from this women's omnium. Points race to go, but Jennifer Valente looks strong on top.
EtherealCat Posted August 11 Posted August 11 britain flopped so badly on golds this olympics beaten by netherlands
Green Posted August 11 Posted August 11 If USA loses Volleyball against Italy their chances to top China will probably be gone Italy is winning so far
Wonderland Posted August 11 Posted August 11 I might have to try attend these LA Games in 4 years. I think they'll be a slay and I'm sure the gays will make it iconic
