Think a lot of the events used to have semi final rounds but looks like most are straight from heats to finals now.

More the threat of electrocution I suspect. This may or may not be a reason to suspend a walk or a row but would make golf far more entertaining if there was risk of death. In fact in a thunderstorm golfers should have to walk around with their 5 iron extended above their head.

I mean rowing in the water is a bit risky. Would their oars be metal or carbon fibre?

Don’t recall the year but I seem to recall an Olympics when I was younger where one of the favourites (British maybe?) got her third red card and broke down crying. Or maybe it was an Aussie bloke. Was kinda funny.

Jane Saville, who is commentating here, was disqualified when leading in Sydney as she entered the stadium

Pretty awful as there was only about 500m to go but only controversial because of that

Was one of their training techniques to stick a blueberry between their arsecheeks and try to get around the field without dropping it?

That’s probably it. Was funny because why risk anything when you’re already leading? Think she was ahead by a bit lol

What is the point of B Finals in the Rowing? You weren't very good, so have a race against other not very good teams. If you come last in this, maybe consider a new sport?

Now let's see what the men can do. I think our guys are a bit less likely here against a strong line-up.

You can generally tell from what lane they're in. Winners likely to come from 3 or 4, those in 1 and 6 unlikely to figure.
