Some terrible officiating in these games, two of the worst were last night, where the athletes made massive mistakes yet were given second chances and both ended up medalling.
The Great Britain rower who fell off his seat should have the medal stripped, he and his teammate benefited greatly from their stuff up and subsequent restart. At least they only achieved silver after conning the officials.
The biggest stuff up last night was in the pool, where after a huge false start (no other swimmer even twitched on the blocks) by the race favourite Sun, he was allowed to restart. He went on to win his third Gold and break the WR too. Should not have even been in the water.
At least the badminton officials got it right and punished the cheating teams for rorting the competition.
On the flipside I think these games will be know as our Silverlympics! only the sailing, cycling and a miracle gold or two from other events might get us past the gold counts of NZ and South Africa.

Cambage was also a victim of bullying at school -- kids teased her for being tall, and was also a victim of racism (as her mother explained in a TV interview that I saw last week). I hope all those people who teased her at school are enjoying their humble pie right now... served with a nice warm cup of STHU.
