2016 Rio Olympics

[Francois Jackson]

Anyone see boomers v Serbia

What an absolute star that dellavedova is.

Leading into it I always say I don't give a stuff. I probably still don't. But once it rolls around I find myself sucked in to the TV, bouncing around the channels watching stuff I wouldn't normally. It was 630am this morning I was watching fencing while getting ready for work. It's a bit of good fun and has a carnival feel about it.

Haha, god love the Olympics. I think that's everyone's experience. Suddenly everyone's an expert on Greco-Roman wrestling!

Some great results today for the green and gold!

What a swim from Kyle Chalmers! Youngest swimmer since Ian Thorpe to win a gold at the Olympics (17 in 2000!)

how good was it?

So much for the "invincible" Campbell sisters, McEvoy, C-Bomb and the Dud "Missile"......most of our swimmers are massive chokers at the Olympics....break world records in trials and meaningless meets like the Pan-Pacs ...fade away & do nothing when it really matters.....like Richmond beating Hawthorn & Sydney in June & July...then losing to Carlton & North in September...

Look no further than Andrew Boguts comments regarding the boomers loss.

That's THE reason he's successful beyond the AUSSIE mindset

Been a disaster outside of Horton and Chalmers. You could have taken the 100m womens gold to the bank!

Highlight of the games so far

[Damo]

Campbell sisters are a pair of smart arses

Serves them right

Arrogance personified

Aussie swim team not doing the basics correctly.

- Slow reaction times off the blocks. Cate Campbell was again left on the blocks in the 50m freestyle this morning which caused her to finish 3rd in her heat.

- Poor (slow) turns. Aussie swimmers going into a turn in front and then losing a whole body length coming out of the turn.

- Getting overrun on the last lap. Could mean poor tapering leading into the games or a failure to acclimatise to the different time zone?

Whoever was/is in charge of the preparation of the team will be getting a grilling when they get back to Oz.
