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

Got a boxer in the men’s flyweight semis too

Sadly no hockey medals at these Olympics

The Hockeyroos lost to China

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.

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


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
