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

Wasted chance for the woman’s sevens
Really disappointing result there

Great job by McKeown

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

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?
