Day 15 of the Summer Olympics brought the 2016 Games to a close with a sense of fun and festivity. Medals in the Trios and Battle Royal matches brought back many of the fighters who'd represented their nation in other events at these Games. A final farewell to competitive carnival of countries that makes the Olympics such a joyous occasion!
New Zealand surprised as they fought their way to a second Gold Medal with a dominant outing in the Trios! The team experience and synchronicity of "Service Krew" affiliates Damo & Kiara85, and Banging produced a shock comprehensive win over Team USA! A perfect compliment to Damo and Banging's Duo Gold Medal from Day 13!
In the Bronze Medal fight, Team Great Britain were kept out of the final medal tally in a hard fought battle with Team Canada! Break out Survival Sequence fighter Jerrod led an untested combination of Shadaloo & Torchia to pick up second Bronze of the Games!
In the long awaited Battle Royal event, fifteen of the world's best fighters came to contest a fight to the finish. Portugal's Zentile made a splash with the first two eliminations - but paid for his hubris with a successive elimination at the hands of Italian Cyclone Shen_DuHBK! Great Britain's Dez-Burnett bounced back from his Trios disappointment with a couple of good eliminations. By the mid-way point, it was clear who was taking control. 2015 Royal Roulette winner VenoMark made his push for the Gold Medal early and hard! Chromatose began a toppling of fighters down to the final three! Indian Hall of Fame favourite Rockey316 had managed an early elimination of UAE's Intel -- fighting in tribute to Day 8 casualty jaytea -- but ran out of steam, taking Bronze. Undisputed Champion DECEPTION was clearly the biggest contender in VenoMark's way. The two waged a back and forth war that had everybody caught up in the teeter-totter of control! VenoMark managed to score successive heavy hits, turning the tide in his favour. In a huge finish - VenoMark wins Gold!
A thrilling end to what has been an incredible two weeks of action at the 2016 Olympic Games!
