Embarrassing really 

For me baseball takes so many times, and have many players. Surfing is so boring in this kind of water, and TV realisation is  worst than walking.... I like walking, modern pentathlon, but status for this event is not certain.

Its impossible to have baseball on the program again (or any team sport really) unless they drop another team sport. 

Surfing was a joke too, but we know it will be on the program in 2028 and 2032 for sure.

There's Villanueva already!

Oh wait, no way this is the actual finish already. He was 34 minutes behind Bilodeau at 45km and Bilodeau only finished 8 minutes ago

Surfing was totally useless. Lol I won’t spend much more of my precious time watching it for sure.

Surprisingly (especially to myself), after watching the finals, I'm interested to watch it more often when there's not much else going on. It was kind of relaxing

USA Time in the Round 1 - Heat 1 is not eligible for records or statistical purposes due to the 2nd athlete did not run the full leg distance

 

So why didn't they get disqualified ?

Either the English Eurosport commentators really think this is Villanueva's last kilometer or he had the fastest kilometers in the entire event by anyone  

 

Edit: Alright, they are truly convinced this is his last kilometer.

Now they realized, they were talking him towards the finish and only then realized he had one more lap to go  

[heywoodu 16,004]

There he is for real!! And that's it for real now for the 50km. What a bit of will power for the Ecuadorian, wow. He must have had some sort of injury or sickness or something, he should normally be an hour or more faster (sure, conditions are warm, but still). He is the 2019 Pan American Games champion, after all.
