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

      Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that

      If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?

      Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...

      Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková

      One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.

      I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us

      Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).

      Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
