Of all odd medal winners I've seen, the cake might be taken by this one I noticed when going to the modern pentathlon Wiki page   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_pentathlon_at_the_2020_Summe

Schleu did a great job when she took control at the beginning, but then made a steering mistake before a fence and lost all control she had. What if.

 

Full on panic mode from the start never helped her, though.

Every single pentathlete has had competitions where horses destroyed their chances and have cost them eliminations. Some riders are better than others but even the best rider is at the mercy of the horse. Schleu had no chance.

At least one Hungarian survived, but not the one who, based on her form this year, had a good chance for the medal... Oh well, who knows, maybe Kovács can pull off a miracle after all the shit that happened to her recently. 

Gulyas galloped at an oxer... She was lucky the horse ever regained confidence following that incident.

The Olympic Games are always the worst when it comes to the riding of pentathlon, I think I have never seen similar madness at World Championships or World Cup events. Both Rio and Tokyo did a terrible job with this, it's clear that they don't give a shit about pentathlon.

But the riders are less nervous in the World Cups, so...

Obviously this is a farce. Thomas Bach OLY, 1976 Fencing champion, will not stand for this. Therefore, the Modern Pentathlon at the 2024 Olympics will be changed: Rocket League, FIFA, League of Legends, DOTA, Super Smash Bros.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Interestingly, everyone seems to be an expert on this sport now, calling it a disgrace and everything, that their country's athlete has been "robbed" by the horse. I wonder if anyone who watches this regularly can tell me how true this is. Some of it just seems like bad control of the horse to me.

Saint Boy caused two riders, including 2 pre-event medal contenders to be eliminated

 

Of those who weren't eliminated Constantin had 2 of the bottom 4 scorers. Coyle for Ireland is an exceptional rider (that's her background) and she didn't stand a chance

 

I'm sure plenty did make mistakes but there's no doubt that those 2 horses were particularly poor today. 

 

I think Schleu was robbed of a gold. Even a passable horse would have given her enough to win. I haven't used words like disgrace etc as it's part of the game but I think it's fair to point out particularly troublesome horses too

      Of the top teams the world with traditions, only Portugal didn`t play in 3 World Cups in a row: 1986-2002 (1990, 1994 and 1998), but then fewer teams played in the World Cup than now. I don't really remember what caused the crisis in Portuguese football in the 1990s or how it was done with this later? Perhaps we should follow their example?

      Well... If not qualifying for the World Cup for the third consecutive time isn't enough to bring about change in Italy, I can't imagine what will be.

      Gravina is simply stupid and probably has some kind of hold over other important key figures in Italian football, since he was elected in 2024 with a majority of over 90% of the votes... I have a hard time imagining it any other way. Compared to him, even Carraro, Berlusconi and Moggi seem like nice and kind gentlemens   Some people believe that Calciopoli in 2006 began the decline of Italian football and that may be true. It only got worse from there, not counting a single accidental Euro 2021 win- something similar to Greece in 2004. In 2009 Roberto Baggio prepared a 900-page report on necessary reforms in Italian football, but the then-FIGC board tossed it into the trash bin. Now we see the consequences...

      I thought our former football President was greedy, selfish, power hungry and delusional, but apparently he has an equal counterpart in Gravina. Some people just lack common decency.

      Well, it's possible that Italians may be more bitter towards short track officials after the robbery they perpetrated against Sighel at the Olympics and therefore more willing to comment and criticize them, but it doesn't make the decision any less ridiculous.   Also, the fact we are Italians, and therefore used to the low standards of football refereeing, makes us especially qualified and trained to identify biased/crooked/incompetent judging

      I think it was never in the history of our sport has there been anyone as brazen and stupid as Gravina. Before presidents would resign, or at least hide for a while, rather than go into a full-blow scandalous attitude with full larrogance and pride. I hope this idiot gets fired anyway, even if he doesn't resign.
