And that was a well earned gold for Fiji!<br /><br />It is frustrating that they don't just give out medals by order of finishing time! That tie breaker rule in gymnastics is as stupid as all other tie breaking rules that have nothing to do with skill but relies on some archaic outdated opinion call.<br /><br />That poster is a perfect reflection of the filth that is generated by large events like the Olympics!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-46863720252784591492016-08-12T21:46:22.946-05:002016-08-12T21:46:22.946-05:00IDV, Today was a particularly good day for rowing ...<b>IDV</b>, Today was a particularly good day for rowing superpower Great Britain! They won more gold & successfully continue the winning dynasty in men's coxless four, gold since Sydney 2000, making it five Olympics championship titles in a row!<br /><br />But yeah, I still giggle when I see or hear the announcers say coxless or shuttlecock or breaststroke...<br /><br />Brit swimmers & divers have done well here. I wouldn't worry about that guy finishing last--how many people can say they've qualified for the Olympics? He can only get better from here!<br /><br />Track & field started today, so I expect more medals for GB, especially as the last day of rowing is tomorrow, so more medals possible.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-64262304065205120182016-08-12T17:23:39.986-05:002016-08-12T17:23:39.986-05:00PS: Honest poster. hehePS: <a href="http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/i-decided-to-make-some-accurate-travelling-vintage-posters-rio1.jpg" rel="nofollow">Honest poster</a>. heheLẌhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337382169476392640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-34812772170050863282016-08-12T17:16:18.830-05:002016-08-12T17:16:18.830-05:00That was so cool that Épée winner Ms Popescu succe...That was so cool that Épée winner Ms Popescu successfully executed that more Sabre-like move!<br /><br />Congrats to the Fijians for their big masterful Rugby win! They had the folks back home supporting them with communal watching parties. Well done.<br /><br />I also don't like that next lowest medal is dropped if there is a tie for gold or silver. I would much rather see GG/S/B or G/SS/B. (They do award dual bronze, except in gymnastics for some reason.
