I just wish the referees would call these more often, the rules need to be enforced more consistently.
Ding Ning clearly did not throw the ball high enough, she threw it up about 2 inches, it may have fallen further than the required distance but that's not the rule. She spoiled the final herself by letting it get to her, she did not show the composure of an Olympic gold medallist.
how u so sure tat she threw it up about 2 inches???

It seemed fairly obvious from the referee's gesture, she mimed throwing the ball up and then made a signal that indicated that the ball had not risen far enough.

Even if she still did not understand this, which seems highly unlikely, despite comments she may have made in an interview afterwards, I take it you think that her composure was absolutely spot on then. Ding Ning takes no responsibility for losing her cool, it is all down to the referee?
