Decathletes are insane

 Mastering 10 disciplines and compete over two days is quite a feat.  Makes for a long two days

Final event of the Decathlon (1500m) is coming up shortly.  Damian Warner is clinging to a Bronze going into it. 

Then at about 9:25, Andre De Grasse goes up against the big man in the Men's 200m final.  Hope to see Andre smiling again.

and there you go. A bunch of the boxing judges were sent home due to "questionable' decisions".

It's time to throw boxing out of the Olympics. I have now watched 2 bouts where the win was awarded to the person who obviously got beat. And from what I read on line, there have been a number of other bouts where the obvious winners got screwed over.

Gold for Derek Drouin in men's high jump

 The Canadian women lit a fire under his butt

Guess that would explain why he jumped so high...
