A chinese took bronze, while an indian came second. New olympic record from a cuban gave him a gold. Yup, just watched this. Shame the Chinese guy didn't win, but the Cuban shot very well. He started with a 3 but really recovered and shot extremely well. | ||

I mean seriously, everyone of our failing swimmers gets interviewed after every heat, whereas it appears german media never even had an interview team at the judo centre. | ||

So having people being behind the pace setter, take pendleton race. She is behind the pace setter, and before pace setter has gone in so she can go, the other 4 racers are right level with her and she gets shoved all the way back to 5th. I don't see point in the pace setting eating up 5 laps and then for racers to be up behind the "leader" who has no start whatsoever to then try and carry on. The race just gone was the opposite, no one challenged the race leader from when the pace setter went in until have way round lap 2, then pace setter was destroyed. It's quite disturbing how weird this format is. Why not pace setter for 2-3 laps, then race for 5? Least it would seem fair amount of time. I know it's a "sprint" but so are some of the tour de france stages xD and there long | ||
