[KOR/ENG] Ugly Olympics. too many Misjudgments and Mistakes

1. Displaying South Korea flag instead of North Korea flag before North Korea's Soccer game.

How could this happen on a world wide sport event? It's not respecting other countries. They apologized to North Korea but not South Korea. WTF?

2. South Korean swimmer Park Tae-hwan was disqualified after being first to touch the finish line by Canadian referee. If Park didn't get reinstated, Canadian swimmer goes to the next round. (Problem with fairness of referee)

3. Switzerland Soccer Player doing Hollywood action on the game + posting racist remarks on his Twitter.

He has been kicked out from Switzerland team and Switzerland team officially apologized to South Korea.

4. London 1 second = Scientifically 2.4 seconds ? Misjudgment on fencing.

5. At 200m free style swimming, South Korea and China tied and shared the Silver Medal. But at the flag display, China flag was under South Korea flag. Officially both flags should be in same place next to each other.

6. All three judges awarded South Korean Judo Player Jo Jun-Ho as a winner but one guy(directer and federation president) changed the result.

In conclusion, this 2012 London Olympics is a mess. Ugly Olympics and looks like a European festival. Not a world wide event. It looks to me that Western Countries are discriminating Eastern Countries.

It's time for All Asians to BOYCOTT Olympics and show our Asian Power!!

Thanks for reading.

1. 북한 경기에 북한 인공기 대신 태극기 계양. 이런 국제적인 대회에서 이런 실수를 한다는거 자체가 아시아를 무시하는 행동 아닌가요? 북한측에만 사과하고 우리한테는 사과도 안했다는점...

2. 박태환 실격먹인 심판이 캐나다 심판이였다는점.. 박태환 실격됐으면 캐나다 선수가 올라갔다는점...

3. 스위스 선수의 할리웃 엑션과 트위터 한국인 비하 발언. 다행히 이문제는 스위스대표팀에서 퇴출과 사과로 제일 깔끔하고 잘 해결된듯하네요

4. 펜싱 신아람 선수 경기에서 오심. 시계고장? 뻔뻔한 독일선수. 잘못된 판정.

5. 한국 중국 공동 2위 하지만 시상식에서 중국 국기가 태극기 옆이 아닌 아래에 메달린. 우리야 상관없지만 만약 우리 태극기가 중국국기 아래있었다면 하고 상상하니 화나네요.

6. 유도에 세명의 심판이 모두 조준호 선수 승을 외쳤지만 심판위원장이 룰위반하며 혼자 힘으로 결과 뒤바꿈.

결론, 심판에 뇌물먹인건지 아시아인들 상대로 서양놈의 국제경기 텃세인지.
결론은 병림픽.

이립에서라도 영국이랑 독일 캐나다 등등 올림픽에서의 복수 해주고싶네
키악 퉤퉤

This article is very bias. There have also been plenty of occasions when European/Western athletes have also suffered from judges' decisions, but you ignore these.

#1 was a shameful mistake, yes, but apologies were issued. For #'5, remember that there are only 3 flag hoists, so it's not possible to raise flags side-by-side (this also happened in Beijing Olympics).

Overall, remember that judges and executive teams are multinational, and not all westerners/Europeans, like you imply.

Qlee Day 1,715, 04:21

it just shows, racism is still on its way, even in Olympics.

First off, it is not bias. it is true.

오성홍기가 태극기 아래에 있었기에 이정도로 문제가 됬지 태극기가 밑에 있었다면 아마 지금처럼 문제가 되는 일은 없었을것 같기도 합니다. 단지 우리나라 국내 수준에서만 욕하는 수준에 머물러 있었을지 않을까 생각해봅니다.
WTF
오스트리아 심판 1초 차이로 자동차 못피해서 죽으면 '아 1초가 이렇게 길었구나' 몸소 느끼겠네. 아 아니 그녀는 이미 알고 있지. ㅋㅋㅋ

IN LONDON OLYMPIC, I SAW AN IMPRESSING HAPPENING. THERE IS A TIME MACHINE THAT CAN MAKE LONG 1 SECOND. WE CAN ATTACK OTHER 4 TIMES IN 1 SECOND. NOW WE CALL IT 1LDS(LONDON SECOND). HOW IMPRESSIVE! I THINK I CAN DO LEVEL UP FROM 1 TO 200 IN ONE LDS!

런던 올림픽에서 저는 놀라운 광경을 목격했습니다. 긴 1초를 만드는 타임머신이 존재했던 것입니다. 우리는 펜싱에서 상대를 1초에 4번 공격할수 있습니다. 이제 우리는 이것을 1LDS라고 부릅니다. 얼마나 놀랍습니까! 제 생각엔, 저는 이맆 레벨을 1에서 200까지 1LDS만에 할수 있을 것 같습니다.

AND ALSO, I THINK THE SPIRIT OF JUDO IS A "POWER". IF WE HAVE MONEY FOR BRIBE OR SOMETHING, WE CAN GET A GOLD MEDAL YEAH!

Oh, it's always been like that in the Olympics! You might've not noticed it so far, because it never happened with Korean athletes. Bulgarians know it's just a matter of fact, it just doesn't happen to us too much anymore, because the Olypmic powers are OK with Bulgaria winning once in a while, not being a sports power like 15-20 years ago.
