Sports that require judging to figure out who won are always going to have problems and it seems like those problems tend to be much worse at the Olympic level for some reason. And I don't think there's a real solution, other than just getting rid of them from the Olympics entirely. IIRC that's pretty much what they're doing with boxing, it's not currently on the schedule for the 2028 summer games.

isn't boxing because the aiba turned out to be a bunch of corrupt bastards who were taking bribes for everything though, rather than the judging system being inherently flawed

[(Anonymous)]

I think being vulnerable to corruption is an inherent flaw of the judging system

[(Anonymous)]

NA

Uh, isn't being vulnerable to corruption an inherent flaw in all human-involved activities?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes! Absolutely. And there's been referee/officiating corruption scandals in other sports (for instance the NBA had a referee in the 2000s who was fixing games for gamblers). But the more impact that human judgment has on the income, the more vulnerable it is to corruption - boxing judges can directly decide who wins or who loses a match. So you need very robust systems to prevent corruption and that does not seem to ever work at the Olympics, ever.
