One hopes our smart meter is not being installed at that time.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
Disgraceful scenes in boxing as once again a boxer is robbed facing a Russian, what a stinking coincidence that is. Young Irishman Conlon had no problems telling it how it was.

What an absolute mess though, two blatant robberies in under 24 hours and both involving Russians.
Already stirring up accusations that the Russians have blatantly greasing the right palms.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
Indeed it was utterly shocking how they scored the fight.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
Hard to criticize the Olympic equivalent of a sport that's corrupt worldwide and under every orginisation. Boxing and judges worldwide are laughable at times. Ludicrous scorecards in major fights.
Hands get greased, results go hilariously lopsided.
Timothy Bradley vs Manny Pacquiao I - Some astonishing scorecards, later confirmed to be horribly judged by an investigation by a commissioned panel.
Mayweather vs Alvarez - Judge CJ ross inexplicably scores the fight a draw. CJ ross also scored Bradley vs Pacman I in Bradley's favour. Twice in a year she produced extraordinary scorecards.
Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson, a man in the ring during Peterson's celebration was found to have shadowed the judges table throughout the fight and had an actual input on the cards, something he originally denied but then claimed to have helped correct them. Khan's team and Golden boy withdrew an appeal claiming it was absolutely pointless trying to argue against them.
Rigged fights everywhere but Olympic boxing now? come on.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
So nice to see a 16 year old Brit win a bronze in the Gymnastics while we have got a gold in the sailing which has now been confirmed,

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
Laura Trott is insane! She has this race won as long as she doesn't crash or something but the woman behind her in the rankings were part of a breakaway ahead of her and Trott just went for them, a sudden burst of speed.
---------- Post added at 21:43 ---------- Previous post was at 21:40 ----------
She's won the gold!

The Derny is the problem; the exact point at which it leaves the track is subjective. I wonder if it was fitted with a green for GO light it would remove any debate about when the race really starts?

That's not nice. Not good to see anyone fail.
Never see the point in boxing though, if you are daft enough to participate in an event where the concept is to hurt someone else. Nasty and shouldn't be in Olympics. Greco-romano wrestling, judo etc it's more about single pins and points, there may be some "hurting" but it's not the aim as in boxing.
