I think that's 4 out of the 6 British boxers who've been on the receiving end of what one might euphemistically call "questionable decisions". Shower of sh*t.

therealhantsram Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Stupidest event at the Olympics? I nominate the walking race. Just don't see the point. I would rather watch a sack race than this. Alph and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses prancing around to pop music and scored by a judge? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London 2012 was the first time I came across dressage. Randomly turned on the TV and there were horses busting moves to music.....genuinely thought I was in the middle of a mental breakdown 🤯 ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Carnage in the Men's 5000m heats. First George Mills gets taken out as part of a 4-man tussle/tumble, then the next heat a random cameraman decides to take a walk through the runners literally mid-race....! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three medal places were seperated by less than 1% difference and I couldn't work out how anyone could choose between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite how the French athlete avoided a DQ I have no idea. Three shoves handed out over the last 300M, the last of which took out four runners. Small wonder the English lad gave him a few choice words after the line.

StaffsRam Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I think they should save themselves a couple of sports slots (that could be used for Cricket, or Baseball perhaps) by combining Dressage, Skateboarding and Breakdancing. Breakdancing horses on skateboards seems like the logical evolution of all three of those "sports"... ariotofmyown, richinspain and Comrade 86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
