exactly, a huge injustice was done

They tortured that girl and forced her to stay on the piste. The retarded journalist/authors of the articles stated she was protesting, however she wasn't. The IOC required her to to stay on the piste and face torture of agony and shame because Korea decided to send an appeal. Another huge controversy is that the required Korea to pay a fee to freaking APPEAL? Like seriously how fucked up did London Olympics get with this bull shit, Poor girl

Are you retarded? It was her decision to appeal. She could have left whenever she pleased. Nobody forced her to appeal. And why is it a controversy to pay a fee? Does it state that only certain countries have to pay? No... Jeez

Lol and people made fun of my hometown in 2010 for the opening ceremony malfunction.

Are you fucking retarded? Why does a country have to pay to make an appeal on a decision that is obviously ill. I'm guessing your just a troll trying to get a +1 without even reading the article. She was suppose to win but there was a malfunction on the clock which let the German to win. Her team attempted to appeal it, but for her to appeal she has to stay on the piete. If she leaves the piete then she is forced to accept the lost.

I guess if it was that obvious the appeal would not have been denied. An appeal creates additional costs, I don't see why these costs should not be covered by whoever is causing them. This is common practice where ever you go. And no, I am not trolling. Unlike you I put a little more thought into my replies and don't get all emotional. You have no information other than what you've read or seen on the news so I would encourage you to give the judges the benefit of the doubt. This surely isn't the first time that they've organized an event like this.

But my guess is that you're Korean and just pissed. Which is understandable, but still...

So your saying hockey it costs to make an appeal? It cost in football to make an appeal? I don't need to give the benefit of the doubt for something I clearly saw wrong. You, your self can actually do some research instead of blatantly stating random shit other than what you assume. Go watch the video your self and count a second and tell me how long the clock was stuck on for 1 second. I would love for you to be an athlete and get your dreams crushed just cause of an error made by sideline officials. I would laugh my ass off in front of your face and state the same shit you did.

And tell me how an appeal creates additional cost? Replay the video and watch what happened. Doesn't take a rocket scientists and additional funds to do that. Retards like you are just awful trolls. I bet you haven't even watched the video.
