Ah good, you have been paying attention.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Ah good, you have been paying attention.

Does that mean I win gold in the marathon as I'm the only one paying attention

*Also, thanks for doing the simming for these Olympics and it has been fun to be part of it this year, especially winning that gold medal in the 3 x 3 basketball with my teammates so now I have something valuable to put on my resume now.

Fun Fact: The people in charge of this sport can perform necromancy and interviewed Pierre de Coubertin this year.

Ever seen a sport that the IOC have actively tried to get rid of? Modern Pentathlon has had to continually convince the IOC that the sport is relevant in today's day and age for the sport's entire existence, especially now that the Horse Riding portion is being replaced by Ninja Warrior at the next Games. Don't know how many 18th Century French Soldiers climbed the Warped Wall.

So this is the last time Modern Pentathlon will be comprised of Fencing, Swimming, Show Jumping and the Combined Shooting/Running section.

​

 

[FootyBot13]

First we have the Fencing were every competitor face everyone else in 1v1 battles with Épée Fencing. Once someone scores 1 point, the bout is over and you go onto the next opponent.

70% win rate (so for this, 14 wins) = 250 points. Every extra win get you 8 more points and you lose 8 points if you can't do that.

Yeah, very funny serial, April Fool's was 4 months ago.

1900 Olympics in Paris.

128 competitors performed in front of a crowd of 6,000 in the Bois De Boulogne park, where they had to clip the fur of as many poodles as they could in two hours. So many questions come to mind… how did they ensure the poodles were the same size? Were they all equally docile? The winner Avril Lafoule didn’t seem to care much, having won after clipping a total of 17 poodles.

1900 Olympics in Paris.

128 competitors performed in front of a crowd of 6,000 in the Bois De Boulogne park, where they had to clip the fur of as many poodles as they could in two hours. So many questions come to mind… how did they ensure the poodles were the same size? Were they all equally docile? The winner Avril Lafoule didn’t seem to care much, having won after clipping a total of 17 poodles.

Later on in that same article:

HANG ON, we promised you a surprise ending to all of our Olympic research didn't we… Well buckle up buster!

At least seven online sites will indeed tell you that Poodle clipping was part of the 1900 Olympics, so we did begin writing this blog with very different intentions as we kept researching. All of these websites cite the same article written by Christopher Lyle for his Beijing Olympic series for a UK newspaper. But how could an Olympic event only have one source?

The answer is: it wouldn’t.

If you pop the winner's name ‘Avril’ into google translate, it will tell you that it is French for April… April Lafoule. Well we certainly feel like Lafoules! As you read earlier, the article sourced was posted on April 1st 2008 - April Fools Day.

It turns out that the whole thing was one big April Fools joke, but people loved the concept too much to research, so the story has continued getting published as fact. Our very own dog grooming ‘War of the Worlds’. Damn you, Christopher, you got us all!

Our last thought on this rollercoaster is that if people love the idea so much, maybe dog grooming really should be in the Olympics? We think maybe the International Olympic Committee should give the people what they want.

So we suppose this is your sign not to believe everything you read online… except if it’s from us that is!

With love,
Yes we promise that’s it.

Cheeky! I was looking forward to giving Fleabane a haircut.

The swimming section gives us 250 points if you finish at 150 seconds. You gain a point for every half-second you do better and you lose a point for every half-second you do worse.

Luckily, no one did worse with 2 competitors having a nice lead over everyone else.

The Fencing Ranking round. First we have a bout between the 2 worst fencers, the winner then plays the 3rd worst, so on, so on until we get to the Best Fencer waiting at the last bout.

Laser Run has a staggered start so TL;DR FootyGuy13 starts first, DragoDelph starts 8 seconds later, Fridgey 37 seconds after Drago, so on, so on. First to finish the Laser Run wins the Gold.

Fun Fact: I gave up and decided not to simulate every individual point, like I did with the Beach Volleyball, and just rolled the dice to see who won the set.

Yes, this is the Volleyball that's done on an indoor course and we have 6 people on each side spiking the ball up, meaning there's a lot more people to blame in the version. We only have team sports left now, this really is coming to an end.

Here are the teams:

First round of Group games done:

GCR 3-0 VAM
MBD 1-3 CIW
OOB 3-1 ESH
