On somewhat of a tangent, it's stilly that all boxing scoring is almost always 10 - 9. What's the point in having a full set of numbers if you only use two of them.

Was listening on the radio, they were convinced he’d won. How 2 judges gave all 3 rounds to the Mexican sounds highly suspicious…..but not exactly surprising.

Based on this article it seems likely Russia created the Khelif controversy to derail the games. They even chose an Algerian boxer for maximum social impact in France.

The men of international boxing use the Olympics to spoil for another kind of fight

That news conference they held made the IBA look pretty shambolic. I can see why the IOC want
to be rid of boxing for the next olympics.

The Kiwi canoe crew so bad they got sympathetic cheers at the Olympics
The confusion was almost immediate. Foreign media were puzzled. Why were the Kiwis so bad?

Boxing is just so dodgy in general. Scoring so often ruins what is otherwise an epic sport.

Yeah Jalolov dipping back into the Olympics to pick up an easy gold just feels a bit grubby.
Ferreira did similar but I suppose their is no money fights for her in the pros and she wanted revenge on Harrington so she gets a slight pass.
Coronis
International Coach
Ah. Thought it was still split for the boxing fsr. Guess its just not worth their time/money.

Just watching the race walking, and when they showed a slo-mo, it appeared a number of them were breaking the rules.
Glenda Morejon from Ecuador has been jogging most of the way.

Vinesh Phogat’s Paris Olympics heartbreak: Wrestler disqualified after weigh in, will not win a medal
Paris Olympics: Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat was found to be marginally above the necessary weight on the second day of competition in the 50 kg category, and will not make the podium on Wednesday evening.

This is less than ideal. Within the context of everything that's happened to women's wrestling in India over the past few years, this is the thing I, and many others, badly wanted India to win. ****ing cruel.

It's a ****ing stupid sport. I mean, more than just keeping 1 foot on the ground at all times, you should also be required to keep your hands below your waist.
