Can we share please?

An incredible Olympic high jump final ended with both Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi taking gold medals.

After an exhausting two-hour competition, the pair couldn't be split, having recorded best clearances of 2.37 metres.

The athletes were offered an opportunity to take part in a jump-off.

But in a moment of sportsmanship, they agreed to share the title, sparking huge celebrations.

....

Yes, I wiped a tear!

You bet it is, the Russians don't mess around with ketchup LOL

It's not a sabre. It is  an Epee. (pronounced  epay, the e pronounced as in bed )There is an acute accent over the first and second 'e', as it is French. You wouldn't know what that is, so check it out if you're interested. I know this because  we did fencing at school in UK

Thanks for educating me bro, don't know much about swords, but give me a lasso and I know what to do with it. Last time I lassoed a steer, he dropped to one knee and begged for mercy!

Gorgeous...what a beautiful man!

Nothing but a how off. What's with all the oil? Are they going to grill him later!

At least he has the body to how off. Just accept different cultures and appreciate it.

Bet his female companion has a better body!

Well done Peter Bol, a credit to Australia!!
