Approved.

Punching of horses should get you used as target practice by the archers.

If, on the other hand, it's horses punching athletes and the last athlete standing wins, then, approved.

Horse kicking Olympic gold?
Imagine the repercharge.

I'm all for horse punching, as long as the horses are allowed to get their licks in too.

listening to this show jumping commentary and there is absolutely fuck all to talk about apart from knocking off the bars. "didn't touch that pole" "just clipped that pole" "almost made that pole". bollocks.

Ideally ban the horse bastards obviously but if they must, have everyone on the course at the same time, most jumps wins, point multiplier if you knock an opponents off.

The horse bias of the Olympics is bothering me.
Where are the camel-based events?

And zebras , you know multi ethnic stuff. Donkeys never get a look in on weight lifting ?

I just like using the words zorse and hebra.

"laser run" on the Modern Pentathlon was disappointingly not like the robbery scene in Entrapment (niche reference there) nor a battle royale Quasar session.

How/Where did you watch it ?

BBC One last night, it started at 5am or 6am Tokyo time so it was on around midnight.

Nothing bad to be said about Modern Pentathlon with Are Kate and Joe.

Would be if they were made to use flintlock pistols with clouds of gunpowder smoke.

Thanks, Found some coverage on iPlayer - Day 15 22.35 - 04.00hrs section.

Got some Australian competition with this event as well mind

We could take all of the horse riders that are too old/slow to perform anymore and make them bite the curb with horse kick. Or something like that.

The women on the track have shown up the men a bit so far.

Eh? The GB women have won a gold and a silver, whilst the men have won one gold, two silvers and a bronze.

Saw some quotes from Jason Kenny saying he was well off the pace and his taper didn’t seem to have worked properly, but he also was the fastest 200m out of all the Keirin heats?

Not sure that could be called a punch. It’s more like “hey, don’t walk backwards into me’.

The Geordie one? He got done for it...violent disorder...and the judge even called him out for punching a horse during sentencing.

Apparently the horse died a few years ago and got an obituary in the local paper.

Here we are

No, the German coach…
The Geordie punch unforgivable.
