GameBopAdv 07/21/21 7:06:09 PM #26:	An olympic related thought that's been on my mind... I remember in one of the recent olympic events from the past few years, the gold medal for snowboarding or something was awarded to someone so completely unexpected, where some TV stations weren't even bothering with filming their attempt and were just filming interviews at the time instead... What I'm wondering is, has this kind of thing ever happened in a judged event? Someone completely unexpected managing to earn gold, I mean. Like, a part of me wonders if the human judge element would allow for that sort of thing, or if subconscious biases & expectations would be too strong or something like that. --- luigi says: "and" <cite>GameBopAdv posted [p:956329053] in 2020 Summe...
