<P>Abbas Atoev has his god father in AIBA who is dragging him to the top. Hw won the pre-QF against a Roumanian more shamelessly amid the surprise of the commentators and booooed by the spectators. Last night Vijender was surely rubbed some points in the second round. When two defensive boxers like Vijender and Atoev are fighting even pilferage of 1-2 points matter a lot. Bad luck for Vijender. </P>
<P>It's happening in other matches also. I saw the controversial matches in heavy weight category Azerbaizan vs Belarush and then Italy vs Cuba. Azerbaizan and Italy won respectively. And there cant be more shameless scoring than these two bouts. The furious Cuban boxer declined to shake hand with the referee and the opponent.</P>
Vikas gowda finished 8th in discus throw.....i am somewhat impressed with least expected of this athletics team who till now have two finalist one top 10 finisher in long walk
Mary Kom loses. <br><br>Can anyone tell me why there is no 3rd-4th place bout and why both get a Bronze? Is that how it happens in boxing?<br>
<br>yes thats how it happens in a contact sport like Boxing..wrestling also has some some twisted rules but this is the way Sushil got bronze last time..<br>
Apparently Mary apologized India for not getting the Gold.....what a class act by her.
<br><br>A true sportsperson like Mary Kom should not apologise..Her Bronze is worth Gold for all of us..she did not let us down unlike some other highly hyped athletes..<br>
