Boxing seems the sport most based on the subjective opinions on judges these games.

Maybe, but that's down to the poor quality of the judging. (A certain women's soccer semifinal, as well.) However, the boxers still have to fight each other. **** like rhythmic gymnastics, where it's all down to opinions about a routine set to music, makes my skin crawl. Ditto syncho swimming, figure skating (for you Winter Games enthusiasts), dressage. Even regular gymnastics and diving, while no doubt very athletic endeavours, aren't true sports in my book as there are no objective criteria for determining winners, just judging.

Natasha Jonas being interviewed as part of the buildup to the gold medal fights in the womens boxing. She is lovely.

Nicola Adams has made a magnificent start in her gold medal bout, currently in round 2, is 4-2 up and is battering the chinese bird.

She's 3 up, surely this is gold

Nicola Adams 5 points ahead after & put the world number one on her arse in round two , looking like she could be the first female boxer to win Olympic gold . Adams looks a good boxer wirh great footwork in her previous fights , as Long as shes sensible shes in Fantastic

9 point lead now heading to write her name in GB and boxing history , well done to a girl that moved to London to box and lived in a hostel to learn her craft.

I'm Made up for her
