Quote:Personally I think any olympic event that requires the use of judges should be tossed. Too political...
That would include any sport with a referee? I would call a referee a judge...so out goes soccer, boxing, judo, kich boxing, karate, and a whole host of other sports.
Then there is BMX bike riding

As for winning medals??home advantage will do that for you.The aforementioned chinese boxer was awarded a point for shadowboxing for gods sake,not to mention half his hits were not even clean!!Meanwhile our guy wasnt awarded anything for a series of clean body punches. .Hmmm
Must have been the same ref from the ladies Taikwando (or whatever) in a match between Britain and China. However their result was overturned after a protest from the British team and scrutiny of the video footage.
