2016 Summer Olympic Games - Day 12

The biggest surprises of the Olympic Solo Event arguably came in the Semi Finals. Despite the Hall of Fame status of their opponents, ElJobber and The_Purple_Bunny were widely expected to factor in to the Gold Medal match. Instead, they arrived to compete for Bronze in the Day 12 opener - producing an inevitable final bombshell. Against all expectations, Team USA walked away from the Solo Event with no medal as ElJobber rallied after his Semi Final fade-out to defeat TPB!

In the Gold Medal battle of the Hall of Famers: Rockey316 did his best to put together another exciting performance, but Shamrock was sticking to the script, using his superior powers to secure a well earned Gold Medal! Rockey316 - nothing to sneeze at with Silver!

In the 3way Event, Team USA faced the prospect of another upset! "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile was overwhelming favourite coming in to these Olympic Games, contesting the Gold Medal she won back at the 2012 Games for China. With more experience, she was expected to blitz the field, but instead found herself in a struggle from minute one! Chromatose was breathing down CTR's neck the entire time -- Murdoink not far off the pace as the first, Bronze Medal elimination.

With the world watching - Chromatose rode the momentum of his elimination of Murdoink, taking the fight right to CaTigeReptile's doorstep! With almost nothing separating them, the American dug deep, calling upon her superior experience to win her second 3way Gold Medal! A spectacular finish and another amazing moment from these 2016 Olympic Games!

2016 Summer Olympic Games - Day 11

The Duos had a long wait between rounds, last competing on Day 4 of these Olympic Games. The Solo Event fighters - much more fresh after their Day 9 Quarter Final crunch. The combination of waiting and high stakes made for a pressure cooker environment. Day 11 did not disappoint!

The Duos were on first and the favourites were in fine form! Damo & Banging were cool and calm in their execution of Finland, unassuming as they made New Zealand the Gold Medal frontrunners at these 2016 Olympic Games! Their primary competition - Canada - were much more flashy in their demolishing of Poland's Bofh & Cukier.

After "The Greek Crisis" were gifted a randomized Bye in the First Round, the most anticipated match of Round 2 became their meeting with arch-rivals Liam & nif! It was difficult to not see this match in a political context. The controversy of The British Exit hung in the air at these Games, at least until the air rushed out with Team GB's win. maxilos & proXade have had the better of Liam & nif so frequently this year, but with everything to fight for - The Brits pulled off another unbelievable moment!

On the flipside, there was nothing but joy for Jammer2Omega & Porygonix as they faced down the daunting task of Aussie heavyweight Statix and Duo expert Corrupt hydraslash! In the fight of their life, the controversially chosen USA team rose to the occasion. A thrilling coming out for one of the burgeoning tandems of 2016!

The competitive rivalry between Australia and The United States has been building throughout these Games, and there was one last twist in their story. As the Solo Quarter Finals gave both nations a chance to move on to the Gold Medal match -- it was the Hall of Fame longshots who shocked the world! Shamrock had to work hard to eliminate The_Purple_Bunny, while India's Rockey316 was faced with an ElJobber fighting well below standard!

A shocking twist that guarantees Singapore and India no less than a Silver Medal! Shamrock will be the favourite as the first medals of these Olympic Games are awarded - tomorrow, Day 12! Fighting for the Bronze will be USA and Australia - not where either expected to be!

Tournament 72: 2016 Olympic Duo Event - Round 2:
1. Mime & Politics (CAN) d. Bofh & Cukier (POL) [+6]
2. Liam & nif (GBR) d. maxilos & proXade (GRC) [+1]
3. Damo & Banging (NZL) d. ArtemisFlow & Zmoke (FIN) [+1]

2016 Summer Olympic Games - Day 9

Day 9 belonged to the odds-on favourites as the Solo and 3way Olympic Events set up some exciting Medal matches for the final week of the Games!

The_Purple_Bunny put himself and The USA right at the top of the predictive ladders as he earned a confident victory over Mime! He'll go in to a Semi Final clash with Hall of Famer Shamrock with heavy favourite status! Australia's ElJobber did well enough to earn a solid win over trans-tasman rival "Chosen One" Damo, relegating New Zealand's hopes to the Duo and Trio events. ElJobber will go on to the Semi Finals to face Indian fan favourite Rockey316 - the other Hall of Famer quietly edging his way toward a Medal opportunity!

The 3way event has a strong but expected final battle to look forward, with all the favourites moving on to the Medal match. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile is on track to win her second 3way Event Gold Medal, having won the event in 2012 as an adopted representative of China. She absolutely dominated New Zealand's team star Kiara85. Chromatose will give Europe a medal, comfortably bypassing Australia. Murdoink outdid fellow South American Maridany and Zentile to make up for his disappointing loss in the Solo Event on Day 6.

"Portuguese Pegasus" Zentile had by far the hardest day of these Olympic Games. Having call times for both the Solo and 3way Events may seem like a blessing, but it stretched him to two disappointing defeats. Rockey316 really rocked his clock with a +4 beat down. He had Maridany on the ropes, but just couldn't extend himself far enough, succumbing to Murdoink. A loss he was none the less energized by, thanks to the +3 beating of Maridany!

The Solo Semi Finals will continue on Day 11, August 16th. Then Day 12 will shower Olympic Medals as both the Solo and 3way Events conclude! A big week of action still to come!

Tournament 70: 2016 Olympic Solo Event - Quarter Finals:

3. Murdoink (CHL) d. Zentile (POR) & Maridany (VEN) [+1/+2/-3]

The Dream Team of USA have been impossible to defeat, but Team Canada have shown tremendous spirit, producing some of the highlights of the Games on Day 5 and Day 7! Can they go for Gold? Stay tuned as the Medal Week begins!

2. Team Canada versus Team Australia

2016 Summer Olympic Games - Day 6

The Summer Olympic Games are about fair competition and sport, so it was regrettable that Day 6 would produce the first casualty of combat. Celeste was completely overwhelmed in her match with New Zealand's Damo -- succumbing to a devastating offense that sent her to the incapacitated list!

"The Chosen One" obviously becomes one of the stand-out favourites heading in to Round 3, but he is far from alone! Singapore's Hall of Famer Shamrock destroyed the Dutch hope EasterBunny to the tune of a +13 impact -- unlucky for some!

The_Purple_Bunny, United: Mime and ElJobber were more modest in their victories, but remain strong contenders in the Medal chase. Their rise came at the expense of some of the other strong competitors in Round 2: Nephrite, ShawnMichaels and Chromatose.

In one of the hottest contests of the round, Indian Firecracker Rockey316 showed he still has what it takes to get the world excited! He eked out a win over Murdoink!

Today's winners progress to the Quarter Finals, which are currently scheduled for Day 9 - Sunday, August 14th!

2016 Summer Olympic Games - Day 2

The random draw placed two favourites in each half of the Solo Event bracket, but where Day 1 featured double MAX Damage victories, there was only one on Day 2!

ElJobber stepped up with an annihilating victory. New Zealand rival Damo was the one who under performed - comfortable in his win over Sgtf, but not nearly as remarkable as expected! That could be a testament to the tenacity of Estonian enigma Sgtf, who was expected to be a dark horse.

Today's winners set up several interesting sets of Second Round matches! Round 2 is scheduled to take place Thursday, August 11th.

Tournament 70: 2016 Olympic Solo Event - Round 1, Day 2:

Tomorrow's action sees the beginning of the 3-way tournament! Defending Gold Medalist and defected Team USA fighter CaTigeReptile will go into the event a major favourite!

2016 Summer Olympic Games - Day 1

No surprises on the first day of competition as The United States and Canada emerge as favourites in the Solo Event. Both The_Purple_Bunny and Mime delivered perfect MAX Damage annihilations against their opponents. TPB's win over The_Rock, the slightly more impressive of the two.

Nephrite was a mild shock, easily upending Greece's maxilos to the tune of +3. ShawnMichaels of the British Exit also picked up a +3. Huge impacts in comparison to Singapore's Shamrock, who took his win without any bells or whistles. Nobody should under estimate him because of that, though. His victory was assured!

All of today's winners advance to the Second Round of the Solo event. The second half of the bracket will be wrapped up tomorrow, with Round 2 scheduled to take place on Thursday, August 11th.

Tournament 70: 2016 Olympic Solo Event - Round 1, Day 1:
