Grace Brown winning the time trial on a slippery course was incredible.

Yeah , was an absolute demolition job
The distance she won by was unbelievable

Jess Fox you absolute star !!!

Jess Fox you absolute star !!!
She is Damo :clapping.
Aussies up to 5 gold now with Mollie O’Callaghan winning the 200m free.
ps. How about the American media putting themselves top of the medal table based on most medals rather than the official way in order of most gold medals which has them sixth lol.

I saw that on CBS earlier and thought the same
Typical seppo behaviour
They did it with the swimming championships in the past when it suited them

Kaylee McKeown came from behind to win the 100m backstroke in Olympic record time :clapping.
-
Wasted chance for the woman’s sevens
Really disappointing result there
Great job by McKeown
-
Jess Fox you absolute star !!!
There are Champions and there's Jess Fox
Sensational performance to win her 2nd gold, defending the medal she won in Tokyo
-
No gold for King Kyle
But after no WR so far in the pool, a Chinese swimmer comes out smashes the WR and wins by the event by a margin not seen in decades :o... but supposedly nothing to see here
And people wonder why there are always question marks around the Chinese swimmers when they win

That run in the final was out of this world
Class above and definite GOAT of her sport
Hopefully she snags a third gold in the cross

Is there anywhere I can see decent highlights?
Every google/youtube search seems to give me these effing useless BS floating head interviews with stills.

If you have a VPN , choose America
And then watch the NBC highlights of Jess on NBC , best I found

Would you be saying this if King Kyle scored gold and a WR?

9Now App Andy, can watch highlights of all Aussie medals and most prominent events.

If you don’t know saya sakakibara’s story then I suggest you look it up. So so happy she won gold, emotional stuff :clapping

Considering there hasn't been one other world record in that pool, eyebrows would be raised no doubt
But it isn't just the WR it is the margin, it was staggering

What a great night for the Aussies
USA media still claiming they are “leading the medals”
So Seppo
-
Saw that bmx girl win gold. Dominated!

Absolute domination as you said
Like TK said , the back story is amazing
And how good was the interview lmao
Good to see we can still have some “Aussie-ness”

Another Gold, this time in the tennis
Eden and Peers win the men's doubles :clapping
-
2 from taking outright lead. Wonder if we can hold top position even for just a day.

Came from a set and a break down too to win it :clapping

I don't remember us ever being this high up the medal tally entering the second week of an Olympics.
-
China v China playing off for gold in the table tennis now. Will take a massive night in the pools to overtake them at the end of play today.
-

Swimming finishes tonight think our days in the top 4 are likely numbered
We have a couple of chances in track & field but not many
Have to say our rowing team were hugely disappointing

We weren’t favoured in any rowing event
Getting no golds is hardly a surprise
-
We usually pickup a cheeky few medals in the velodrome + field hockey, women’s beach volleyball, don’t count us out yet.

In addition
Nina Kennedy in Pole Vault
Rough chance in woman’s high jump
Surfing we are in the men’s semi
Open water swim anything can happen
Kayak Cross with Fox sisters
Couple of kayak events as well
Always a chance of some other unexpected result as well

I was thinking more along the lines of track and field

Got a boxer in the men’s flyweight semis too
-
Yep
Men’s featherweight
And
Woman’s middleweight
-
Sadly no hockey medals at these Olympics
The Hockeyroos lost to China
-
Bullying everyone in the meaningless shyte, choking at the Olympics - classic Aussies.... :clapping
-
Don’t think the men were ever considered a chance. Writing was on the wall with that spanking Belgium gave us in the group stage. Women’s loss was a choke job. Same with our rugby 7s girls.

Noemi Fox you little beauty
That was brilliant :cheers :cheers :cheers

Can't help but love 'em :clapping

Yep. Too many turnovers killed us tonight. Mills and Giddy tried.
Boy o boy Joker is a machine. What an absolute gun.

Insane. Imagine walking into year 8 class rocking a gold medal lol

Gold medal #15
Matt Wearn has won gold in the men's dinghy medal race :clapping.

Add another 3 more golds to that WP.
- woman’s pole vault
- men’s park skateboarding
- men’s team pursuit cycling
Up to 18 golds now, our best ever :cheers

Will put my hand up and say I got it wrong :wallywink
But will confess I do struggle with skateboarding being an Olympic sport ;D

Are you good with "breaking"?

Lots of poo events
Following would all be more suited than breaking you would think lol
Bowling
Darts
Snooker/pool
Baseball
Softball
Lacrosse
Cricket
Netball
Etc etc

lauaghable some of these events. Didnt they have baseball at one stage then canned it?
Cricket will be at the next olympics in LA. Cant wait to see Bosnia strut its stuff on the big stage

Baseball is a regional in and out sport depending on where the games are hosted
They reckon bowls and netball will be in for the games in Brisbane
And I kid you not, “flying disc” is being considered

Baseball/softball, lacrosse and cricket all at the next games. As Damo mentioned they’re not core sports. I think the host country gets to suggest 4 sports each games to add to the core ones, which then need to get approved by the Olympic committee.

Ended up finishing 4th. Won a handful of medal the last couple of days but couldn’t snag a gold. Japan on the other hand had a ripping last 2 days. Feel like they added 6-8 golds in 2 days.
In any case, very successful games. Set a new record for golds, can’t ask for much more than that.
