Nyika into the SF so guaranteed a medal.
How does that work? He could come 4th?
Both losers get a bronze.
Oh there is not a fight for bronze, that's crap.

It's compensation for getting beaten up and losing. Always been the way
I donlt think the Olympics is the place for participation awards.
But then again it's got ribbon dancing so what the fuck do I know?
It might be the case with all the fighting sports? Is there 3/4 fights for judo, Taekwondo or karate?
Bronze fights for taekwondo
Anyone trying to smack you in the head in TKD?

Just heard some dopey cow channel 7 commentator describing a quarter final as "must win".
Fuck, you think?

You can't have a fight so soon after a boxer has lost. What if they lost by knockout? It would be very dangerous to allow a knocked out boxer to fight again a day or so later.
It has always been the way in boxing competitions.

A solid first up throw from Adams with 18.75 m. In the other group, Wesche has thrown a new PB of 18.65 m with her first throw at the Olympics. She looked chilled.
Both threw worse in their second throws. Only a couple of throwers have made the qualifying mark so they are well placed

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD again!
Great result. I was at school with the son of one of the 1970s gold medal winning team (who sadly died of brain tumour I think)
Where were the black shirts though??!! White is not our colour.
