Another one to your list:
South Korea vs. Brasil in Football last night: a South Korean football player was kicked in the head in the goal box, but was ignored by the ref. Later, another South Korean player was tripped in the goal box by a Brazilian player, which was ignored, which never, ever wouldn't have been ignored in a normal game of football. Both incidents, had not been ignored, would've given penalties against the Brazilians and most likely given the South Koreans 2 extra goals. (Maybe the organisers aren't happy that the South Koreans defeated Team GB on their home turf?)
Also, to specify that fencing incident:
That South Korean fencing woman should have won that match, because she bound to win the match if that (faulty) timer did not stop at the last second, i.e. her German opponent won because she scored when the match should have been over.
In addition, if the South Korean woman lost, why is she getting that special 'good-will' medal or whatever it's called, which is worth nothing, for 'good sportsmanship'? Probably because the referees, or the London Olympics organisers felt guilty in my opinion - This incident is one of the most controversial incidents in Olympic history. You don't normally give prizes to 'losers'.
Hence, I can't talk about the Chinese, but on the South Korean perspective, there have been many questionable incidents - I count 3, which cannot simply be due to chance.
How utterly pathetic.
1) Badminton and cycling are different sports so have different rules, if you have a problem with the start in cycling a restart is permitted.
2) Badminton and rowing are different sports so have different rules, if you have an equipmentl problem within the first 100m of a rowing race a restart is permitted.
3) Park was disqualified as anyone else would be for twitching on the starting blocks. Unlike others he didn't accept it and was reinstated due to a poorly worded rule creating a loophole. What incident in the gymnastics? You mean where the judges accepted they had made a mistake when they had to rely on seeing something once in real time and changed that decision, in Japan's favour to the detriment of two European nations (including the host nation), after reviewing it?
4) Don't know enough about fencing to comment, but then I doubt you do either.
5) Given China's horrible record of doping in swimming it's hardly surprising.
6) Screw ups happen, like at the canoe world cup where they played the bit of the German national anthem that was dropped after the Nazi era.
7) You mean like they did with the flying the New Zealand flag underneath the Dutch flag when there was a tie for bronze in the Keirin cycling? Was that also some big any Asian slur?
8) I'm willing to bet the judges know their sport infinitely better than you ever will, so I'll go with their decision not yours.
9) If you think such things don't happen in 'normal' games of football then you clearly do not watch the sport regularly so are in absolutely no position to be commenting. Perhaps though you would care to comment on whether Great Britain not being awarded a penalty when a Senegalese player nearly broke Craig Bellamy's leg in the area was anti-British bias, or was it just a mediocre decision?
You can't compare badminton with cycling, or once again badminton with rowing. They're different sports with different judges. Maybe the badminton judges are a little more strict than some sports.
Are you saying they are being racist towards Korea aswell or not because the Chinese flag under the Korean flag after complaining about a mistake against Korea suggests you don't know what you're talking about. One flag had to be under the other if it was a tie, and I'm sure they have ways of determining which one goes on top in those cases.
Are you a professional gymnast? because you can't possibly know what they look for when judging if you're not.
You're just looking for things to claim that they're being racist.
Were you watching the Olympics 50 years ago? Nothing has changed. The change has to come from the top. There's way too many people involved. I'm afraid it will forever be unfair. Forvthat I am truly sorry.
Just in case it's the most racist sexist homophobic discriminatory toward animals discriminatory towards plants (did you see those mean horses squishing blades of grass with their big fat hooves) event ever. Let's ban it I say BAN it and while we're at it lets ban the racist sexist homophobic media and lets not stop there lets ban the internet as well because someone anyone might say something nasty about someone else ban it all yes ban ban BAN BAN BANBAN BAN BAn BAN BAN
Oh I feel better now.. I do
People love to blame racism for their own inadequacies. What about Victoria Pendleton missed out on the gold medal twice because of dodgy decisions. Sometimes it works in your favour sometimes it doesn't - c'est la vie!
I felt pretty racist last night, when the local Chinese only put one Dim sum in my soup.
I think he uses canned sweet and sour sauce too! no bloody excuses for this sort of behaviour
Why bother to have Olympics? Just invite yourselves the next time.
Well i have a question for you , why does China have all together over 70 medals and half being gold ?
Those Badminton players were blatantly trying to lose and EVERYBODY saw it. Serves them right they got sent home.
1) They disqualified 8 asian badminton players who have "cheated" , yet a cyclist fell on purpose and got gold and on yahoo news today a swimmer admitted he cheated while doing breastroke and got gold.
2) A badminton chinese double wanted the floor to be mopped because it was wet during a game. The referee ignored them causing one of them to slip during the game and break her leg. However, when some British rowers boats messed up in the middle of a race, they let them fix it.
3) Park Taehwan and Japanese gymnastics incident.
4) That korean fencer Shim A Lam
5) Accusing Yeshiwen for doping while Missy Franklin is also the same age and got more medals.
6) Displayed South Korean flag during North Korean soccer match
7) Hung the Chinese flag under Korean flag when both Sun and Park won.
8) A Chinese gymnist Chen-yi-bin was supposed to win gold but he didnt cause the judges were too stupid. Just look at his routine it was amazing.
The list could go on, but my fingers hurt from typing.
As far as I know, most Chinese and Koreans hate the London 2012 Olympics. Im not a hater I'm just saying.
No i love Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee,Chow yun Fat etc
No I think they have been quite fair.
It's hard to not act on something when other country have so many accusations, they have to make hard decisions to keep it fair.
Mistakes do happen, but I do not think racism is the reasosn. I think we should not blame racism for everythink.
Boring Boring Boring,give the old racism thing a rest , why does it have to be dragged up at every opportunity normally by sore losers.
