WTF. How do you appeal an appeal and win it??

Dunfee has lost his 50km walking bronze.

They should both be disqualified if anything. Flip flopping on the appeal is pretty weak.

Pull a Lochte and run [or walk really really fast]! (except with a medal from Rio, not a trail of gas station destruction)

Ridiculous. Canada should appeal the appealed appeal, just to keep that circus going

I would guess, with much less expertise than our resident experts here, that the case could be made that it was the Canadian runner that made contact on the backswing? Or maybe that he still made a few strides before he wobbled. *I just watched soccer so I consider myself an expert on embellishment.

There was probably a pretty fair chance that he was getting passed.

You can't give a guy a medal and then take it away from him based on nothing he did wrong.

In the modern Pentathlon, Melissa McCann is holding onto 3rd spot with one event to go.

The final event starts at 3pm Mountain. Standings are tight - Melissa is 18 pts out of Silver, but only 9 points up on 4th.

GCG!

Watched the replay. No way that Japanese guy should have been DQ'd. The right guy won bronze.

I guess I'm going to need to learn something about modern pentathlon! Looks like the final event is "Combined Running/Shooting" which sounds like fun.

It looks like it's like the biathlon in the Winter Games. From the Wikipedia page on the Modern Pentathlon...
Quote:
The running discipline involved a 3 km cross-country race until 2009 when it combined with the shooting event. From the start of the 2013 season, the combined event has changed again to consist of four 800m laps each prefaced by laser shooting at five targets. This change is intended to restore some of the importance of the shooting skill felt to have been lost in the original 2009 combined event.
