    Mayhem again in a judged sport. It wouldn�t bother me if the IOC got rid of all judged sports. Either judge it from slow-mo instant reply or dump it. Take diving for an example, if you�ve watched it, how many times do you hear while watching the reply, the TV guys say � there�s a mistake, but I don�t think the judges could see it from their angle� if they think this would take to long, then cut the competition down to 1 round. Why do they need 6?

    In a sport like Tae Kwon Do it is easy to declare a winner...the last one standing.. but I guess that would be too hard on the job prospects of Olympic judges

    Either way, considering on who is right or wrong.

    It's not cool to kick a referee.

    as for the whole diving thing the judges should be placed in a different places... a few on the side and a few that will look straight on to see the form breaks cause i agree its annoying as hell to her them say that its wrong but the judges cant see...

    The Olympics like all sport ie NHL Hockey etc are all about money and are just like any other performing arts.. are based on door receipts.. hello!
