As a fencer, the Semifinal Match between S.Korea's Shin and Germany's Heidemann was a farce
Shin should've won, fair and square, since she has priority and Heidemann didn't get a valid hit in to finish the tiebreaker at the last second.
The last second was up, and Shin should've won,
but instead the judges called for an additional second (without just cause)
and Heidemann took her chance and bagged a hit,
snatching Shin's victory.
Despite an appeal, Shin's illegal defeat was the authorities' final decision.
If its any consolation, Heidemann lost her next round.
