Japan protests, the judges review the pommel horse performance and they go from 4th to 2nd, bumping Great Britain to bronze and Ukraine out of the medals in men's team gymnastics. This will piss a lot of people off.

Judged events are awful. Judging is the only way to quantify those particular events enough to determine winners and losers, but it's a recipe for tears and outrage, and it's frustrating to spectate.

They should play H.O.R.S.E. or something.

Kinda sad, actually. All of Angola's points are coming on "OH CRAP, PLEASE GO IN!" shots, and then the USA just rolls down court and makes it's look effortless.

the next they are cooking your family pets and offering you side dips involving garlic and some sort of soy/wasabi combo.

China was trying to set up an all-China finals. Fuck 'em.

And as a result, Canada is now playing for a bronze medal in badminton, of all sports.

Pretty sure their share of sport funding was pretty small, and expectations even smaller. They're breaking out the champagne, win or lose...
