    Nobody bothered to run until the last lap. It was a prime pace for an upset.

    Taekwondo is probably the sport that has improved the most over the last few Olympics. Lots of exciting bouts, basicly no controversy and the refs punish passivity aproprietly. To think it was such a farce as late as 2008... Now if Boxing could take some notes.

    I think Semenya probably shouldn't be competing against other women but the amount of hatefull and sexist speech directed at her is disgusting. Literally nothing about the situation is her fault, she was born the way she is.
  4. NearPup
    Not his fault the favourites where too busy looking at each other to bother running. They all deserved to lose.

    The fact that you can be a terrible show jumper and still qualify for the Olympics in modern pentathlon is sort of concerning. It's really silly, at worlds and world cups they don't even do show jumping in qualifying. Either include show jumping or get rid of it.

    With how many people made the finals I am fine with that. As many people cleared 1.93 as where meant to make the finals 12).

    The favourites have only themselves to blame for their loss, when you spend too much time watching each other upsets can start happening.

    Honestly I think it's more likely we see Greco-Roman wrestling removed to make way for more weight categories in other disciplines than to have women's Greco-Roman added.

    Modern Pentathlon is such a farce of a sport, IMO... Also, the riding segment just seems unecessarely dangerous for both horse and rider.

    Considering Pendrel crashed in the first lap I'm not quite sure I agree Grest performance from Pendrel to come back from being way back to grab a medal.

    Canada in 2012 was DQed due to stepping on the line on a bend. It's different than stepping on a straight.

    Lets not go through this again. Also, stepping on a line on a bend is very different than stepping on a line on a straight.

    No matter what happens now I think these games have been a big success for Canada. Four gold medals, including one in athletics and one in swimming, is more than expected It's all gravy from now. Who knows, might be a lot of gravy.

    Belle soirée pour la France, clairement. J'ai pas vu Mayer venire, belle surprise (mais bon, j'aurai préféré qu'il soit en bronze xD) Lemaitre mérite plainemant sa médaille individuelle, en temps réel j'étais convaincu qu'il était passé proche maid qu'il serait quatrième ou cinquième. C'était beau de voire sa réaction quand il a vue qu'il avait gagné le bronze.

    Wiebe salvalging (and the some) these Olympics for Wrestling Canada. Makes up for the otherwise disapointing performance in wrestling. She did get a bit lucky with so many big names being taken out for her, but all you can do is beat the people in front of you (she never looked threatened at all in the finals). These are turning into the best summer games for Canada since Barcelona.

    Honestly from the angles I saw I couldn't tell which of Kenny or Awang should have been disqualified.

    Nurse is 2-16. That's shocking.

    Same, I went from ecstatic with bronze in the 4x100m free to annoyed we didn't get silver in the 4x200m free to devastated we didn't win a medal in the medley relay. I don't think anyone seriously believed Canada would get six medals, including a gold and two relays, in swimming. I was hopping for one to three and maybe one relay.

    So, who predicted the Argentinian men to make the finals and the Argentinian women to crash and burn in the quarters?
  21. NearPup
    I can see why Drouin does well in big events. He seems totally imune to presure.
  22. NearPup
    I mean, I had since she was sort of the star of the trials. But I had not heard much of her before the trials (only heard about her because of Taylor Ruck, who was seen as a bigger potential breakout star a year ago).
  23. NearPup
    Incredible by Drouin. Perfect competition.
  24. NearPup
    Drouin guaranteed a medal.

    Apparently Mandy Bujold was sick last night, lost two kilos in water weight and went straight to the venue from the hospital this morning. Sounds like she was pretty unlucky there :/
