Games seems to going on pretty smooth now. We also got no more Aussie complaints for past few days. Seems like all their gastro problems got cured by now or may be they are waiting for closing ceremony to start over once again?

Many athletes wanted to stay in room alone. It was a nice excuse for them to give it a miss. As now drains got blocked, it seems they fully utilized the rooms. Those problems are also gone.

India lose protest, Vijender has to settle for bronze
India lose protest, Vijender has to settle for bronze - The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Till Sunday, the Indian boxers seemed to be on top of their game, with seven of them making the semifinals. So what went wrong? Why were only three - Suranjoy Singh (52kg), Paramjeet Samota (+91kg) and Manoj Kumar (64kg) - able to make it to the finals? Were they unlucky or outmuscled? Not always. Were they at the receiving end of refereeing errors? Definitely yes.

Somewhere, though, the tactical blunders of the boxers too were to blame. Given that the judges and referees in this event have given decisions which have clearly seemed biased, maybe the fighters should've been more tactically aware.

Later, Olympic bronze medallist Vijender Singh (75kg) made a similar tactical folly. He walked into opponent Anthony Ogogo's game when just running away would've made sense. In the third round, Vijender accumulated three points. At that point, he just had to circle the ring or keep a shell-guard to win the game, but he decided to attack instead, costing him the match. On two occasions, the World No. 1 was warned.

There is no denying that the referee should've cautioned him thrice before giving him a warning but what was an Olympic champ doing coming close to his opponent when he was clearly leading?

Also, the opponent wasn't warned when clearly he too often resorted to the same tactics. GS Sandhu, the national coach, said it was up to the IBF to speak on these matters.

The Indian team did launch a protest after the Vijender bout within the stipulated time, explaining that two warnings were given to Vijender in the third round and the opponent too should've also been given at least one. The jury turned the protest down.

"The warnings were unfair and harsh. If the referee thought I was holding Ogogo then he should have penalised this guy as well. He was also holding me," Vijender said. "It's a joke that somebody has won by scoring points just out of warnings," he said. He will have to settle for a bronze.

well I know it is not a fair game.
