Men's pentathlon David Svoboda wins the gold - Summer Olympics 2012 in London (my response) [01:36]
(my response) David Svoboda of the Czech Republic won the modern pentathlon Saturday at the London Games after matching the Olympic record in the fencing event to open the competition. Svoboda, who won the European championship two years ago, led by just one second going into the final event, a combination of running and shooting. He briefly lost the lead after his main rival, Cao Zhongrong of China, was quicker to hit the five targets. Svoboda, however, regained the lead in the running part of the event, throwing his arms in the air to celebrate long before crossing the line. He finished with 5928 points to beat silver medalist Cao by 24 points. Adam Marosi of Hungary, the 2009 world champion, won bronze with 5836 points. ''In Beijing, I was fighting for the gold medal, but it all ended in disappointment,'' said Svoboda, who started as the favorite at the 2008 Olympics but finished 28th. ''So I decided to fight for gold again.'' Cao said he was ''quite happy'' with his performance after earning China's first medal in the event. ''To show your strength on the Olympic grandstand, that's great,'' Cao said through an interpreter. World champion Aleksander Lesun went into the final event in third place, but needed 10 shots to hit his five targets in his first shooting round.

Wildhorse Creek Park BMX Race [13 Intermediate MAIN EVENT] (6/19/12) [01:16]
Well today I had a GREAT gate start on a TERRIBLE gate but managed to pull off the holeshot. In the first turn I lost it to my good friend Hunter Parrish and going down the second straight I wanted to get the lead back SO bad so I decided to try a high low. My intention was NOT to wreck Hunter or myself... It was to just scare him off and hopefully get the win. It's unfortunate that both of us crashed but hey, rubbins racing... Congrats to Christopher Delay on the win and let's go get them next time!!! Here are the results: 1st: Christopher Delay (#4) [13 Intermediate] 2nd: Aiden Gulley (#129) [13 Intermediate] 3rd: Philip Wynne (#160) [13 Intermediate] 4th: Hunter Parrish (#19) [13 Intermediate] 5th *DNQ*: Cody Matrone (#81) [12 Intermediate]
