I am surprised how shite I am doing especially with having both USA and Jamaica!

[Shaggy365]

Still a few events going on, so I'll leave the update for a while.

[Shaggy365]

So the penultimate league table is updated (and I've still gone down another half dozen places).

[Spencer4]

Up to 15th It's taken 2 weeks but finally the tactic seems to have paid off

Up to 15th It's taken 2 weeks but finally the tactic seems to have paid off

If you carry on at this rate, then you should hit the top spot around the end of August.

[murf]

I seem to be beating my 3 fellow 2-6-23-67 pickers. Not sure how (as I can't even remember who my other two picks were....)

Still slowly sliding down overall.

[Surprised]

I'm chuffed to be in 2nd!!

[Shaggy365]

So you'll be cheering on the Iranian wrestlers then.

[blahblah]

Still slowly sliding down overall.

Afghanistan and Puerto Rico, with 4 Golds and a Bronze

The country list is below the table, not that us China, GB, Jamaica and Armenians have to scroll down

Not that Armenia have done any good compared to Colombia

Have the wrestling and weight-lifting finished?

[Shaggy365]

Well fellow FISO-ers, here's the final FISO table.

I hope you've enjoyed playing and cheering on 6 completely random countries. Unfortunately it was a non-FISOer that won, but I suppose that sooner or later there was going to be some-one that was luckier than the rest of us.

If you have enjoyed, rather than expressing your thanks, you could click on this and like it. Thanks, and see you in 4 years time?

[bluenosey]

Cheers Shaggy. Thanks for running. Big up that cake business

Well played Surprised and Ross

Kenyans let me down but happy with third.

[Spencer4]

9th , keep it going another three days and I'll win it ! Cheers Shaggy, great fun as usual.

[blahblah]

Top comp, not that I saw much of Armenia, Qatar and Kuwait

[pdathert]

I came here as a lurker from the fantasy cricket forum and in the Olympian spirit I have signed up to make my first post to say I am delighted with the 2nd place overall.

I assume the silver medal is in the post.

[Surprised]

Thanks shaggy....that was great fun as is usual with your competitions

[Rick Spangle]

Just failed to last the course - slipped out of the medals on the last day
Well done to the winners, and thanks to Shaggy for the competition.

[murf]

Shaggy,

Any chance of updates after dopers get thrown out?

I'm claiming a new Chinese bronze.........

[BOLTONBOY]

Thanks for organising Shaggy.Happy getting in top 20.My two let downs were Kenya and Serbia(don't know why i picked them )Enjoyed the competition though.

[stuboy]

Can't wait for the Paralympics comp starting next week. When are you putting up the country choices Shaggy?

[Shaggy365]

Can't wait for the Paralympics comp starting next week. When are you putting up the country choices Shaggy?

Do you really want to do the Paralympics as well? My own opinion is that now the football season is upon us, I will struggle to get it noticed. I know I reached 127 entries, but with everything else starting and people fretting about where RVP will end up, or whether Tevez will play more then 20 games this season, I doubt I'd get many entries at all.

And no, I'm not re-doing the league table if anyone is subsequently thrown out. I believe they can keep samples for 8 years, which is why they've been re-testing the Athens competitors recently, and I am not changing this for the next 8 years.

Rule 4.3.1 (a) subsection 3 - The judges decision is final.

[Grant]

Thanks for running Shaggy.

Personally, I think you should keep this open until Rio Oh, and disqualify the US team amongst any others I didn't pick...

[Shaggy365]

While setting up the Fantasy Rio 2016 competition, I did see that there had been some disqualifications as a result of tests carried out since 2012, and if I've still got my spreadsheet I'll see if I can post an update. Not sure it will mean that I won though.

[Shaggy365]

Right then. 3 and a bit years after the closing ceremony, here's another league table that reflects those athletes that had to go and sit on the naughty step.

I've been busy.

I demand a(nother) recount!

I think future Comps need a time limit for the medals to be fixed (not as in rigged ).
