dcro 10,179 Posted June 9, 2017 #473 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Team event in modern pentathlon was the only one that I hoped will make it, but no... Perhaps they want to kick out MP eventually, so they don't want to give them gifts now. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
