The point is that has zero to do with what I said, or the issue Romney had brought up regarding security at the games.
At least the Brits were able to stop the Israelis from having their moment of silence and offending the Mooselips. Yeah, were impressed.

No event, with the possible exception of the marathon, has had so many protests, and counter-protests as the men's relays. In 1948, although the United States won the 4 x 400m relay easily, one of the change-over judges ruled that the USA exchange was outside of the passing zone. Consequently, by rule, the USA team was disqualified.
By the time the USA protested the medals had been handed out to GB, Italy and Hungary. However after carefully reviewing film of the controversial baton pass, the stewards decided that the baton had been exchanged legal. Furthermore, they instructed the British team to pass up their gold medals to the USA team.
