     Also, what the heck is wrong with the US men's relay team??

     And yayyyyy! US women's relay team got the job *done*!

     Clearly, I'm catching up on my Olympic highlights.

     I loved these summer Games. From the weird ass Frenchiness to the girl power to the esprit de sportz.

     It has been a welcome brain break from the current ongoing dumpster fire that is western civilization.

     I would respect this more if they were at least forced to jump over the jump rails like a steeplechase or something.

     Hmph.

     What a weird event.

     Whennnn is the Men's Final? Did I miss it? And what is the final? Do they run around a different mini-golf course?

     I wanna see which spy wins.

     So basically the Modern Pentathlon is a modern reimagining of Musketeer Bootcamp.

     Big fencing melee.
     A horse jumping course on a horse you just met.
     More fencing.
     A weird footrace.
     Some swimming.
     Some shooting.

     And then you dedicate your life to defending the Crown.

     Basically.*

     Wait. They're just running around the tiny horse jumping area? They don't get a chance to run through Versailles?!?

     Didn't they used to run cross country and then stop at stations throughout and shoot at some targets? Like real spies?

     What kind of race is this?!?
     Hmph.

     It's like they're running around a mini golf course.
     Hmph.
