GULICH Andrin, and ROEOESLI Roman, bronze, rowing.

Would have been more interesting 40 yrs ago when people were sure that it is really 2 men and 2 women.

For a “neutral” country you folks sure seem well, maybe “hunters” perhaps.🤔

Yes, then they took the participants into a room and asked them to strip…or was that even earlier on?🤔

Switzerland has a full-time officer corps but no standing army. Citizens are required to take part in military exercises for one month per year, which includes target practice. Nearly every Swiss citizen of service age has a military-grade firearm at home (though ammo is stored centrally) and knows how to use it.

Switzerland also has lakes, so sailing and rowing are popular sports here.

The French however were dominant at the BMX events. They pretty much swept up the golds for BMXing.

I doubt the human race survives another 200 years.

We'll either have extincted ourselves, or become cyborgs.
