What fuss? I thought that was Taekwondo? EDIT: Our best fighter didn't go, because he had dropped out of the programme set out by the governing body itself. He wanted to, is one of the best in the world, but seemingly out of spite, he didn't get chosen. So we got the 50th in the world going instead. He should have gone as one of the Independent Olympic Athletes

I've decided the foil is the boring weapon in fencing.

Yeah, the women's gymnastics are in with a shot of a medal. North Korea's fourth in the medal table. Yeahh.

Yeah, both the fencing and the archery are boring this morning. Beach Volleyball it is!

American guy in the fencing has an American flag mask and yellow neon leggings on. Fuck him.

I mean seriously, every one of you is completely guilty of saying roughly the same thing at some point when disappointed. Remember when David Beckham let his country down at World Cup 98? Remember when Wayne Rooney was a violent overrated prick? Remember when Ronaldo dived and you wanted someone to break his legs? Remember when you, yourselves yesterday thought that the Japanese were being pricks at contesting that silver? Just look at yourselves, you're contributing towards a ridiculous witchhunt and laughing at a guys life getting pretty much destroyed for things that he's said. He'll probably not be able to get a job now, thanks to a publicized criminal record, and don't create a "he deserved it" excuse or "he'd be dole scum anyway" NO! He's 17 and still has his life ahead of him! Ever looked back at yourself and thought "Gosh, I was a complete prick back when I was 13/14/15 etc."? It's embarrassing enough looking back at your previous self, let along being continuously punished for doing so. I wish I could +1 this more. Apart from the fact that, as people have pointed out, that string of tweets is missing the all important one where he made a death threat. Whether it was a really serious threat or not, it doesn't matter. It's still a threat. The guy "apologised" then started going off and making more threats and offensive tweets. If he's 17 then he should know better.

Shin is doing it!

Oh no, Shim has to come back out now for the Bronze medal match. I really, really hope that she wins it.

Agnel is all kinds of awesome.

The fencing commentators are now working out if they can watch it back

So, apparently the South Korean girl can't leave the piste because if she does, she admits defeat.

Exactly. I'd be bothered if it was a real issue. They gave him too few points, it was reviewed, and they got the points they deserved. Feel sorry for the Ukraine, but the correct decision was made. well i then question all the scores of our events and suggest we were low scored elsewhere. so they should re-score the whole final. one appeal changed everything, whose to say they didn't mess up the scores elsewhere? it's silly. Anyone could have challenged at any point. Japan were the only ones who chose to do so. It's getting silly in the fencing. The Koreans need to accept this is over.

To be honest, they did score him remarkably low. He made one error the entire routine ultimately, and he did land on his feet. I think they got caught up in the furore of the crowd. Heidemann has won!

They are STILL debating this in the fencing.

I love how we're going "Bronze " after exploding over it though a few minutes ago. It's still a ridiculously good result.

Bronze

Japan might get this still.

The protest is STILL going on in the fencing. The timekeeper might not have started the clock bang on time, so Heidemann's blow may not have been in time.

SILVER!!!!

BRONZE!!!!

Oh my god, the women's fencing. One second left in sudden death, Britta Heidemann, the defending champion, has to get the Korean girl in order to win or the Korean wins even though they're tied. Heidemann somehow, somehow nails it. Korean coach is going wild, Korean girl is in tears, Heidemann - who has been brilliant the entire day, fighting to the death - is through. They're still protesting it now. It seemed the longest second ever, but oh my word. Heidemann deserved it, the Korean girl spent the entire second defending.

The Americans have fucked up somewhere, because they're acting like they're finished now. No idea what happened though :/ ETA: Orozco just didn't land it properly. Apparently the Americans are generally very good at the Vault too.

Conquest came out recently in the UK. Trying to decide if I want it; anyone heard anything about it?

Team GB are on it right now. We might even manage to get a silver. ETA: Larry Godfrey just won his round of 32 match in the Archery too, looking very much like he's going to go quite far.

One of my friend's did suggest that they could have easily put in a shot of Leo waking up at the end of Inception in the middle of the end sequence, they tried to fit so much stuff in.
