This article raises several very good questions:
- Why did the S. Korean flag appear beneath Lee Sang-Ho well before the Slovenian flag appear beneath Zan Kosir?
- Did the premature appearance of the S. Korean flag (or the delayed appearance of the Slovenian flag) affect the judges’ ruling?
- Was there electronic timing being used on the course? If so, what did the timing claim?
- Given the fact that the video clearly shows Zan Kosir crossing the finish line first, with both board and hand over the line when neither Lee Sang-Ho’s hand nor his board had reached the line, why did the judges decide in favor of Lee Sang-Ho?
- Given the video, why was the electronic timing not examined immediately afterwards?
- Why has this obvious mistake on the part of the judges not been called into question at the highest level???
If Lee Sang-Ho or S. Korea has any honor, they will concede defeat and ask the IOC to redistribute the medals.
