So we are set up for yet another heroic turnaround from Laura Asadaskauitè, she has 30 secs time to make up for the top 9.

She did it! Ninth place, 13 secs down.  Zillekens  is the one crying.

 

In fact, an OR for the Laser Run!

Is she going to punch Laura?

What a great TV results graphic!

There is a shooting race for final positions and when it gets interesting, they removes it.

You should have seen the swimming!  Absolutely no graphics at all apart from the clock and name of the winner!  Just completely useless.

At least during swimming you can see whole pool so we have some idea how are athletes doing.

But during laser run it is quite stupid to show shooting info only for top5 and than hiding it.

All that changes to make modern pentathlon "more interesting" and when  they have a chance to present this sport to world during olympics, it's such disaster.

The horses seem pretty good, no horse punching this time.

Shaban flies off the horse right at the end...

Lady Commentator is Heather Fell who got a medal in 2004, I think.  She was very sure that all the problems this time were driver error.
