Am I the only one who thinks it is profoundly problematic that it's up to the two jumpers to decide whether they want do have a gold medal each or do a jump off?
I have thought about tie breakers for high jump competitions quite a lot today and can't really come up with a perfect system but having a choice seems absurd. Also, it's quite moronic how so many media have lauded Bashim and Tamberi for their sportsmanship on the matter. Who would gamble a gold medal in that situation???
