An angry South Korea said Tuesday that they will appeal to sport’s top court over “unfair” officiating in short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics after two gold medal hopes were disqualified.
In Monday’s men’s 1,000-metre semifinals, world record holder Hwang Dae-heon and Lee June-seo were disqualified for illegal late passing and lane-changing respectively, having coming first and second in their heats.

The decisions allowed two Chinese skaters to advance to the final, with the host country collecting gold and silver.

The Korean Sport and Olympic Committee (KSOC) said it would file an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) “to formalise the injustice of this decision”.

As they rightly should. It was a disgraceful decision.
The team relay events are coming up soon, let’s see what happens there

I skim read an article early this morning from a us media outlet, can't remember which one, that asked if Americans care anymore about the winter games. A couple of poor results and most of their best prospects have events starting this weekend haven't helped.

White down in first run

 

[danielnajdek]

Flying tomato more like squashed tomato on that run.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Japanese guy smashed it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Second after the second run but the tomato still to run

 

[danielnajdek]

That American judge is a bit fishy. Gave Scotty the lowest score out of the judges in his runs. I'm smelling a conspiracy.

[LukeParkerno1]

All the big names qualify

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Snowboard cross on now

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Slovakia win the womens slalom. Was an amazing race. The winner was 8th last to start and hung on as the top 7 with a time advantage after run 1 all fell (just) short. Top 5 within 0.22 after 2 runs.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

What a performance by Petra Vlohova to win Gold in the Slalom!!

 

[myblueroan]

Seriously over the family and friends footage for every bloody competitor.
Fully boganised.
