Yeah. This USA v Poland game right now!

Oh yes, this is the one. High intensity stuff.

Denmark really ****ed up their race for Bronze there

 

[weeman27bob]

Ooft, really good race between Team GB and Australia there. I think Australia would probably have got it regardless of the GB rider slipping off his bike at the end.

 

[Ali TT]

Gutting, robbed us of a dramatic finish on the line I think

 

[Spark]

No idea what happened to that third British rider at the end there but Aus looked home regardless

 

[ripper868]

Excellent ride by the aussie lads, as mentioned held a consistent gap the whole race so don't think the Brit slipping had any impact on the result.

I haven't paid too much attention to it, but it sounds like in general the sailing has been hit by a massive lack of wind the whole games

Sailors need to learn how to fart a bit better if they want to win at this Olympics.

Big swing in the women's race to get the bronze for GB.

Could be a really close gold medal race between USA and NZ

US nearly threw it away there!

 

[Ali TT]

I see the sideways kicking has started

 

[Redbacks]

At this rate Australia might win the gold medal count in 2032!!

Just watching the race walking, and when they showed a slo-mo, it appeared a number of them were breaking the rules.

Glenda Morejon from Ecuador has been jogging most of the way.

It looks as though basicslly all of them are actually running a lot of time. Just get rid of the event if the rules are not going to be enforced

 

[Hungry Llama]

USA win win win just about everything in athletics. Keep pipping GB on the line.
And then Oz beat GB at everything else. If the trend continues i expect Anna Hall to win
the Heptathlon and KJT to come 4th.

Australians can’t run for **** but we seem to be doing most other things pretty well

 

[Burgey]

Golden summer

Golden summer

I had a really enjoyable 3 hours on the couch this afternoon, all we did was win win win.

Hey guys,

I've lost all access to TV, the internet, and newspapers. Can someone update me with the medal table please. Specifically where Australia is on it and how many golds we have won.

Unfortunately Australia has crashed out in the preliminaries of the cocaine purchasing sprint. A shock considering our top hope comes from Lane Cove.

Hoping we can still medal in the marathon version of this event.

That's what happens when your Olympic dreams are powdered.
