Do Olympic judges have anything against Filipino athletes?

Question

...esp for bouts? boxing, taekwondo...

I just saw Tsomlee Go's Taekwondo match against Australia. His kicks are sure bullet kicks but they were not converted to points. There was even once, during the 1st round, where Tsomlee's kick (sure hit and a sure point) was ignored and the opponent miraculously got a point. This is like Onyok again.=c

Answer 1

If a choreographed dance routine was an olympics event then Philippines would take the gold.

Answer 2

pretty ka cguro sa personal.........ano ung tanong mo ulet? hehehe

Answer 3

Another "Onyok Syndrome", points you made - points for your opponent!

Answer 4

I have been watching the olympics for years and the judging is always questioned as being politically affected. Who knows. All of us look at things from our own point of view.  I tell my friends, just relax and enjoy the international spirit. I coached basketball for several years and one of the hardest lessons to teach my players was that the game officials dont get every call correct. We all make mistakes and have to deal with them. Good luck in your favorite events, everyone!

Answer 5

Yeah, I think something is fishy, China is getting most of the gold!

Answer 6

maybe a little discrimination on us filipinos...i just hate it...

Answer 7

If only Manny Pacquiao can turn amateur, no one can beat him inside the ring...even the judges!

Answer 8

Judges were made to judge. Let them do their jobs.
