 Asadauskaitė received yellow warning card for arguing with officials. She was upset that refs failed to account one of her victories. Asadauskaitė did said in an interview that she was threaten with red card and penalty deduction from her result so she had to back out  Anyway, absolutely terrible starts for  in modern pentathlon

What is unfair in pentathlon except horses, who will be out?

Wow, TV coverage of some events in the Olympics has been pretty bad, but coverage of the First Laser Run today was uniquely terrible. For some reason they showed almost nothing of the front of the race, but instead concentrated exclusively on  Csaba Bohm.  And of course, no indication of who was passing the finishing line.

Maybe the non professional (meaning not informed about the competition/race) camera/production staff only got some material before the competition which stated that Boehm was the world champion and no 1 seed going into the race. Probably someone forgot to tell them that Boehm finished among the last in fencing there by eliminating himself from the medal contenders.

I don't see any other reason why a non Hungarian broadcast operator shows Boehm in this situation.

I thought that it was due to that he was on 9th place, so the last qualifiying spot.

Watching some of these modern pentathletes ride show jumping feels like watching Raygun do breaking - makes you appreciate how good the pros are.
