Olympics - does anyone actually care anymore?

[Burgey]

Even North Korea is more decorated than us, it's pathetic.

It's pretty funny actually.

Almost as funny as Jono cheering for India at cricket then switching to Australia for the Olympics. WAC he is.

First Aussie to win the 100m freestyle gold since 1968. Nice.

Maybe we could change the title of the thread now? I think we have established that the answer is yes.

The great part is that at only 18, he hasn't used up too many taxpayers' funds to win it, and should be able to make his own way from here with money from Uncle Toby's. #freedom

iirc he could swap codes and join an afl club

Let me tell you, I'm not cheering for Australia in all Olympic events

Don't. We'll stop caring here once the athletics starts.

If Michael Phelps was a country he'd be ahead of India in the all time medals table.

Hey, at least we're good at Maths.

How good is Ledecky? And still a teenager. ****ing hell.

On our tv Becky Adlington said she is close to being a female version of Phelps. Just a ridiculous swimmer who is better than the rest.

She says some ok stuff when she isn't touching up Mark Foster live on tv.

Quoting this in the Aus Pol thread.

oh man that top rated comment, amazing

Really feel for Boyle. One of the best long-distance swimmers of the last 4 years, only to have her buildup to the games completely ruined by illness. Swimming 8 seconds below her pb and failing to make the final of her preferred event is a sad way for her olympic dream to end.

Meanwhile, the mental weakness bred by Zinzan's PC brigade has now taken hold of the cycling team with the track sprinters folding up against the pommes in the final straight and Linda Villumsen not even getting to the podium. Thank godness for the Aryan master-race duo of Bond and Murray being so good that the only consequences of their exposure to modern namby pamby society was a smaller than expected victory margin in the final.

Lol, can't you sulk without bringing me into it bubs? Go shake your fists at the talk-back radio you mentioned you love getting all angry about.

Incidentally. magnificent performance from Bond & Murray, class athletes!

 

[Bahnz]

Heh, it's a joke Zinzan.

 

[Zinzan]

In that case, I've softened my response. Not that there wasn't any implication behind yours.....
