In the post bout interview he didn’t convey that he thought he was robbed…
I am sure he would have, had he thought that to be the case.

I think he said something along the lines of "I think I did enough". My take is that he was pretty stunned and also is a sporting loser. Anyway boxing is littered with such results which I suppose is always going to happen in a sport where the result is down to subjective judgement of a few individuals.

I'm just watching the start of the windsurfing race off for the medals, and they've got a 3mjnute countdown to the race start how do they get the start spot on to the second without a platinum yacht master.
Go Britain. 30 secs to go.
Fantastic. All 3 spot on.
Italy, Israel, GB. GB just ahead at the first turn.
I went to make a coffee and Britain stone last by the time I came back.
I told my wife before the race that if the Dutch were anywhere in sight after 3 legs then they had a chance, what a last leg though!
It was amazing. Did the American go off too fast? You wouldn't have thought any US athlete selected for the relay would have lost by 20 metres in a normal 400m race.
I was surprised all teams went for the same profile MWMW. Id that a mandated runner order now, or could they go with a different order?
@JAFO
MWMW is now mandated. It used to be flexible but they changed the rules. If you watched the 4x100 mixed medley relay in swimming, that is free choice.
I heard another horrible non-verb in the decathlon commentary last night: “He no-heighted in the pole vault.”
