The favourites dominated at the Games on "unlucky" Day 13, as the Duo Event roared to a stunning conclusion! Mime & Politics and Damo & Banging were never in any danger of losing their Semi Final matches as they stormed through their opponents with devastating efficiency!
The Semis set up two exciting Medal matches! In the Gold Medal fight, the long awaiting meeting of the two dominant teams fulfilled a dream match scenario. Canadian Duo experts United: Mime & Politics were hopeful to bring home the Duo Gold for Canada, who dominated in 2012 with Marz & Violent`J. Alas; New Zealand's equally experienced Duo doyens "Chosen One" Damo & Banging were simply fighting at too high a level! The Canadians capitulated as New Zealand overwhelmed them, an incredible performance to win New Zealand their first Gold at the 2016 Games!
The Bronze Medal match had its own curious sense of anticipation. There was a lot of uncertainty coming out of the Semi Finals, but the devastating results didn't deter either team! In fact, both the USA and Great Britain teams lifted their game for the Bronze match! Liam & nif made a genuine threat at taking the medal, but Jammer2Omega & Porygonix would not leave the 2016 Games without bringing metal back to the USA!
Jammer2Omega & Porygonix were a controversial choice for team selection, with many looking to other more established US pairings, such as "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo. Whether you agree or disagree with the criticism they faced, there's no denying J2O & Porygonix represented their country with pride. Bronze Medalists who bump the United States to the top of the Medal Tally, adding to CaTigeReptile's Gold in the 3way [Day 12]!
