fromthebaytola:

The clock never started! So Heidemann had more than one second to land the winning touch. At the very least, whether she landed it in time was highly in doubt. The match should have continued into another round, but instead Shin was declared the loser. So South Korea’s coach went to the judges.

Despite the clock issue, they ruled that the touch was good and that Heidemann was the victor. South Korea’s coach went off to file a formal appeal.

And Shin A Lam, now in tears, refused to live the piste (the platform that they fence on). In fencing, leaving the piste means that you have officially accepted the judges’ ruling. And seeing as the clock didn’t start, and she should still have a shot at gold, she sat down. It’s the filibuster of fencing.

Today’s most depressing Olympic event

So much respect for her. 

dude i got so mad for this omg omg seriously olympics this year is straight up shit like seriously, the other girl got to poke at her like more than three times OBVIOUSLY THAT’S MORE THAN ONE SECOND freaking goddamn koreans are getting so much shit this year loooooooooooollllll i can’t believe the judges just straight up rejected the appeal that’s four years of hard work gone to waste. but since they appealed to the higher people, we gotta wait and see what happens! but whatever the result is, she did great and she deserves WAY better treatment!
