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.

ReadyGetsGold 3rd in 7th @ BEL 5.9.12.avi [02:48]
RGG finished 3rd in the 7th at Belmont on Wednesday, May 9th. She broke sharp and ran competitively but when it was time to close Javier said she was swimming in the slop and just couldn't get a foot hold to really grab it and go. She looked to be the best at the top of the stretch but just got mucked in the mire. She came out of it fine.
