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

Are you good with "breaking"?

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.
