Some names have been posted elsewhere on the net. I'm not sure of the prudence of doing so here. 3 are medallists.

I'm surprised Bershawn didn't make his escape in the BatMobile. Was Robin there too?

The assumption seems to be that the athletes started the fight but could the fight have been due to provocation from the bouncers?
