It was because of a new swimsuits they introduced, but now they are banned so you don't see a lot of record breaking anymore.

Records still seem to be falling for women this year

The men have broken some records this year, but it doesn't seem to be at the same pace that the women are doing it at.
 
"It's now mathematically impossible for anyone to catch Germany, so they are certain to win Olympic team eventing gold even before their final rider has gone.

"That's because each team's score is comprised of the top three rounds from their five riders - you can drop the worst two. So even if Germany's last rider ploughed haplessly through every fence, they would simply take the best three from the four who've already gone, and nobody else can catch that score either."

So GB v NZ for Silver/Bronze then.

Well, with those swimsuits records were falling like cake, you could see three swimmers breaking the record in the same race. Records still fall because I think the new pools are faster, they build them in a way so swimmers can go faster.

Gone to see boxing again. The view today is even better.
 
i want to play against a female chinese table tennis player, i wonder if i have the chance, i imagine the difference between genders in this game isn't as big as in other sports.
 
Could possibly pick up another medal(or two) in the individual 3 day event later. A lot of the top riders were clipping the rails a lot on their runs and the fences are higher next time out so could be lots of penalty points (and there's very little between the top few riders).

Bit daft that you can only have 3 riders from each country in it though, as you can finish 13th and not go through, whereas someone in 30th can!
