Yeah, you might be on to something there.It was so good that when I got home I couldn't wait to put it on the telly. Sport on the radio when driving can be more engaging as less distractions like your other half or phone. I enjoyed it more when in the car as thought it was following what was happening closer.
Yeah it’s a shame the Games only go fr just over a week. They really should extend it to a fortnight and bring in some other events like running and ****More gold in the pool. Our olympics is almost over
Keep dreaming, mate.Then again, the title of greatest sporting nation on earth was decided in our favour over a century ago and nothing has changed since. Nor will it.
Weighted medals per capita is a better measure, I think. But still right up there.Slovenia currently leading the way ftr.
Aus first for countries over 10 Mill.
Apparently before she threw the punch that stopped the fight, she shouted 'Expelliarmus'.Interesting to read the thoughts of Steve Bunce, the BBC's Boxing specialist. He said that whilst she's a decent boxer, she doesn't normally worry the best, not a devastating puncher and this is only her 5th stoppage. But clearly he wouldn't know as much about this as JK Rowling FFS!!
It may be anecdotal / misremembering but I'm pretty sure the Australian women have dominated the men in the pool medal-wise since the Klim/Thorpe/Hackett generation retired - which was Athens I guess?Yeah, usually do better. European nations spreading the medals out among themselves
Medals per $ of funding the only real medal table imo.Weighted medals per capita is a better measure, I think. But still right up there.
I remember the only real prospect in men's swimming being James Magnussen, and he was a serial choker under actual pressure. Which makes his recent commentary particularly ironicIt may be anecdotal / misremembering but I'm pretty sure the Australian women have dominated the men in the pool medal-wise since the Klim/Thorpe/Hackett generation retired - which was Athens I guess?
Chalmers just became the 3rd swimmer in history to medal in 3 consecutive 100m finalsI remember the only real prospect in men's swimming being James Magnussen, and he was a serial choker under actual pressure. Which makes his recent commentary particularly ironic
Nah, I'm just doomscrolling that story, because I dunno. I guess I just see that as the lowest sort of criminal, and it personally disgusts and revolts me at another level.Does it? Or is that just what you're hearing in the US because the team hasn't really hit its stride yet so the media are filling time with the negative stories? There are always going to be **** things that happen at the games but as the last Olympics was held mostly in half empty stadia with huge question marks about whether it should even take place at all, this is a far happier event.
