Wtf is this shit. There is no way 1 second hasn't passed, and the timer even turned 0. Fucking blind judges. This pisses me off, not only because I'm South Korean, but she even waited for over an hour only to receive a "consolation" medal which is a way of the judges saying "Sorry, we screwed up, but you can get a loser's medal!"

That's fvcking sad... I felt so sorry for the korean lady, specially when she started to cry. I could honestly feel her hard work through her tears... What a bullshit :/

I didnt get it at all at first (dont watch fencing), but i guessing that the GER had ~1sec to score, and the clock went down to 0, but then somehow 1sec was added back to the clock and the korean lost?

Interesting i havent heard about this other than on this forum, even though if you think about it its an amazing fuckup.

Yea, that and the timer thing got messed up. 3 jabs in less than a second? No way.

At the very least, there should have been a rematch. For ****'s sake!

Damn, that's fcked up. :(

Men's epee was interesting, none of the top 10 fencers got to the final. Our fencer ranked 1st, but lost the first match.

Is it bad that I feel like we should be winning gold in every single event?

It should. I mean, we are the best country in the entire world, so it'd only be logical to assume we have the best athletes in every sport.

And here I thought China was raping America not only in the Olympics, but everything else besides having the "Most Arrogant Country" award :)
