This modern pentathlon is amazing. The history behind it just makes it even better.

It must have taken a hell of a lot of time to organise and put together.

 

[Psychotext]

Is that a broken phone?

Edit - Hmm... picture gone.

 

[mrklaw]

So in the pentathlon, do they stagger the start of the final event based on the standings, so that the winner of the run is the overall winner? If so I like that, and maybe they could do the same for the heptathlon/decathlon - both have relatively long runs as the last race.

GAF Olympics Correspondent, reporting in.

Great atmosphere here, particularly when the Turkish jumper got over on her final attempt.

Jesus, how many events have you gotten into? Mad jealous.

 

[Pollux]

Can someone explain why rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport?

I don't know how to copy and paste on the vita, I'm copying imgur urls from memory

The Czech winner of the pentathlon, was apparently screwed in Beijing getting an old race horse for the show jumping.

 

[lazybones18]

What time is the Men's 4x100 relay final?

 

[ColossalLazy]

Brazil takes the second set. Glad the women recovered.

Hm? It's looks pretty cool to me.

 

[luso]

The fights can be nasty after a whole day.
Not the worst case:

 

[mclem]

A fortnight before the games, I had no tickets!

 

[nny]

YES! Second set Brazil: 25-17 Vamos, vamos!

So you can watch it guilt free.

John Inverdale ruins athletics for me. I hate his face.

Yep, they need to wait.

[ezrarh]

I'm quite hyped for the 5000m run. 3 guys from the USA are in it.

 

[nny]

(Volleyball)

Great point!

 

[Good Job Bob]

Bad call from the referee, the ball touched the hand of the Brazilian chick.

 

[Fergie]

Time for Mo!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It's amazing how many people use their iPad as a camera.

 

[LTWheels]

[BrokenSymmetry]

5K starting. Will Kenya finally win a distance running event?

"57m Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial
Congrats to Olympic medallists Gio and Sandro! Gio picked up a gold medal and Sandro a silver after Mexico beat Brazil 2-1 at Wembley."

So now Gio exists and he's part of your team after you did not allowed him to either play or to join other team? smh at that horrible, greedy club, trying to squeeze every possible cent from him.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

18 my arse

[Edmond Dantès]

Time for the double Mo.

 

[mclem]

[Juicy Bob]

WATCHA GONNA DO, WHEN FARAHMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU

 

[LTWheels]

Lads, I'm scared. Common Mo.

 

[Cwarrior]

More gold for mo farah.

Am not sure how his going to make it through all those runners.

 

[questionmark]

Javelin throwing has started. Thorkildsen off to an awful start.

Bojana deserves gold in her last professional game, sorry. And I think Norway have had enough success in women's handball over the years to let this one slip.

The Brazilian team is packing energy the US team simply does not have. Gold medal to them is all but assured.
