Something weird going on in a fencing competition right now? Just tuned in, but one of the athletes is sitting on the stage thing seemingly in some sort of protest hoping to dispute a decision, I think? But it just seems pretty strange?
Ah!A dramatic ending to the semi-finals of the women's fencing tournament has led to a severe delay to the competition's medal stages.
With the match between Lam Shin of South Korea and Britta Heidmann of Germany deadlocked at 5-5 a late move by the German to win the contest remained under dispute.
The Koreans insisted that the point was won after the end of the match, resulting in a considerable period of consultation from the judges.
After around 30 minutes the judges returned and agreed with the referee's decision to award Heidmann the victory, resulting in a formal written appeal from the Korean coach.
An emotional Lam Shin refused to leave the arena because doing so would be an acceptance of the decision of the tournament's technical directors.
The result remains under scrutiny as the judges consider the Koreans' written appeal.
Sucks

Just watched the gymnastics on BBC, the commentator was like 'No ifs, buts or maybes, Britain have the silver medal' then like 30 seconds later 'Er, we now have the bronze medal'. Lawds.
Getting up early to watch them before work, why am I still awake

Didn't look at the results before catching up on the swimming, I was DEAD. Never thought I'd be cheering for the USA in anything really but the relay was unbelievable and Phelps deserves his ridiculous amount of medals. Also Lochte has two golds now

It's really good watching these olympics sports. The artistic gymnastics looks really good but hard, how do they do it.
I'm so happy for Michael Phelps winning his 19th medal it was so close at the end. Happy for Lo Close that won it was good to watch. I really want Phelps to win the gold medal in the 100m butterfly and as he's retiring after the olympics. 0 -
