I watched this fight and I agree:
Olympics-Boxing-India to appeal against overturned decision.
Aug 4 (Reuters) - India will appeal against the International Boxing
Association's (AIBA) decision to overturn a result that cost welterweight boxer
Vikas Krishan a quarter-final spot at the London Olympics, chef de mission
P.K.M. Raja said on Saturday.
World amateur bronze medallist Krishan originally won his bout against Errol
Spence 13-11 but, after reviewing video footage, the AIBA declared the American
the winner.
The governing body said its competition jury found Spence should have been
awarded four additional points for fouls committed by the Indian.

Team USA Vs. Lithuania Final Score: United States Gain Hard Victory At 2012 London Olympics
Until now, the United States men's basketball team had steamrolled opponents leading up to
their match with Lithuania.
It was clear to everyone that the schedule wouldn't be as easy as it had been with previous
opponents like Tunisia and Nigeria providing historic scoring opportunities for Team USA.
But today at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Lithuania proved themselves to be a
strong opponent for the Americans and a potential contender for the gold medal.
In the end, the Americans won 99-94.
The Americans simply could not score at will against an athletic Lithuanian team, and there
were numerous lead changes down the stretch. The Lithuanians shot well all day at 58 percent
from the floor and Linas Kleiza led all scorers with 25 points.
Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Kevin Durant handled the scoring load for the U.S.
with 20, 20 and 16 points respectively.
Team USA faces Argentina on Monday in their next game to wrap up group play.

The true test of this team would be a split squad game played simply for bragging rights. Name Lebron and Kobe captains and let them pick teams like we did on the playground. No TV or press---just the two teams playing against one another on a practice court.

Agree 100 percent.
They just kept missing baskets / free throws and Lithuania was making them
and playing great defense.
They were not intimated at all by the USA.

Klein, not trying to rub it in, but it looks like Canada is not doing too well in the Olympics , based on the medal count. From what I researched, it looks like Canada has one gold medal while US has 26. Is this due to Canada being a winter sports country?
