Olympic 7s

[Which Tyler]

I'd guess that it's to encourage you to have another go.
Miss, and have another go, would probably cost what? 15-20 seconds; give up and bugger off, and it's 40.

Absolute arse kicking from Fiji. Tell you what though, GB did fucking well to make it to the final. I cynically had us going out well before the medal games. I struggle to get into 7s sometimes, but I've really enjoyed the Olympic stuff. Great show all round.

Great to see Fiji get the gold.

Thought Clive was going to burst into tears before half time there.

Here, whilst you pricks are knocking about, and watching the olymics... That canoeing lark, seems fucking harsh that the penas for missing a gate is 40 seconds. A clean run takes about 90 seconds and there are about 30 of those gates.

The sport must be filled of cheating cunts that just try to sprint straight down.

Haha fair point... Not sure why I didn't see that, I cheat like fuck in nearly every sport I play.

Still, there must be a better balance to it than that. 4 years of work... miss one by a tiny fraction, and you might as well just pack up your canoe and fuck off.

Yeah surely a 10 or 15 sec penas is enough of a deterrent.

Fitting that Fiji win the 7s the 1st time it is played at the Olympics. Congratulations to them I imagine they'll be hero's at home.

Britain exceeded my expectations, each of the players have a hard earned olympic medal that no one can take away from them.

Fitting also that Scotland (carrying some passengers) should be their opponents in the final. The originators of 7s against its perfectors.
