In depends on discipline. In my opinion, the huge problem with a judge is in boxing and handball.

But as we know every Olympics games have problems.

I would thought that any competition should be fair ,including the Olympics Games. But I don’t know exactly what is in reality. And I really don’t want to know that. I am afraid I would be disappointed.

No. I have no opinions about the Rio Olympics. Only that I will be excited when china athletes win.

About fair, I thought there was no absolute fairness in the world. Because the human is the animal of subjective consciousness. Any activities is operated by human. It is ineluctable to the man’s subjective consciousness.
