>> The team lodged an appeal
I read somewhere that the team tried to lodge an appeal but didn't front the $500USD required for the appeal to be considered. I found it extremely odd that at a place like the Olympics, you'd be asked to front money for an appeal.
On another note, I wonder when computerized judges will start to replace humans for stuff like synchronized diving. All of those post-dive slow-mo footage I've seen seems to suggest that computers would be much more accurate/fair/subjective than the human eyes that are currently being used for judging.
