Human life being worth < a trusty steed is very Gerry Harvey energy

What about the seven figure athletes being risked on random horses?

why bother having the modern pentathlon at all then? The whole point of the equestrian round is to ride an unfamiliar horse.

Cracking relays. Bit of a sickener to lose to Italy like that but I didn't expect a medal anyway.

A little hubris to close the games from Kenya

lol I dunno? I didn’t raise the subject mate. The onlfy thing i know about pentathlon was when our bloke got busted with a caffeine level in LA which would have felled his ****ing horse, and blamed it on having six cups of coffee

Currently one gold medal behind where our performance in Beijing but given we've still got two boxers in gold medal bouts, another 3 or 4 chances in the velodrome, team showjumping and modern pentathlon still to come we're in with a good shout of going better.

I would like to who the quarterbacks were for this game... Why is that not on the feed?

Exciting finish in the golf. That Korda family is nuts and playoff for silver and bronze. Go Lydia

That was quite heartbreaking for Aditi. Missed out on a bronze by 2mm on the 17th.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah always gun when the final hole still has 4 people that could've won and every put mattered.

 

[Athlai]

Korda definitely looks a class above. How she recovered from the double bogey I have no idea
