 motored themselves to that gold medal. A quality shooting after a hard run didn’t hurt as well.

 

Gotta feel for

No reason on earth this shouldn't be an Olympic event.

 

Good fun, slightly different skill set (it's more 'sprinter' based), arguably more back and forth action than individual event, and if the quotas are done right, not a single extra one required.

 

Works as both 2 and 4 person mixed relay. Strong Triathlon mixed relay vibe to me, in that, if this was brought in, you'd quickly wonder why it wasn't there all along.

 

Would suggest only the inclusion in the cross country run bit of at least a wee bit of uphill and downhill not flat laps - Tokyo managed it with just a bit of scaffolding and some planks, frankly, doesn't need a major 'investment' but it nuances the event.

Meltdown for  on last shoot, storming run from  for Gold.

Very sad with our performance, but not for our final performance, we were pretty good with a chance to even win a gold, but either of our athletes did not make the finals in singles which I think is a huge failure.

 Hlavackova having a horrendous ride and getting eliminated...

[Bearas 521]

 Castaudi the first rider to finish without penalties

 Venckauskaite knocking almost every obstacle... 

[Bearas 521]

All 3 Lithuanians failed to get a clear score... Serapinaite already looks defeated as she's banking a lot on riding with laser run being her weakest event...

The fencing bonus round continues to be the most pointless waste of time I have ever seen on the program. 

 

Also, one of the fencers just presented how terrible this is: she just fallen down from a waaay too high podium. This shit is both pointless and somewhat dangerous.
