Fisher v Carrington showdown confirmed.

That Hungarian in the 4th semi also looked genuinely rapid. Should be a great race.

Glad they don't have Olympic rugby 15's cuz we suck.

What happened to Kipchoge in the marathon?

Australia win 18 golds and yet this is the competitor that goes viral….

She looked as graceful as a diabetic having a hypo.

It really was, but Carrington was unbelievable again. Csipes put in a huge performance too.

Fisher didn't fire at all, sadly.

 

[Bahnz]

Carrington does it again. 8 golds. What a sensational athlete

And the Brit commentator just said something about 'family being on hold for now'. She's an eight-time Olympic gold medallist ffs.

She's been very open in the press about how she's been putting off starting a family and that she wants to do that after the games are over.

Fair enough, apologies to him in that case. But I still didn't really like the tone or the timing.

He also said something about her being on a similar level to Mark Todd among NZ Olympians. I'm not sure how his five medals (two gold) quite compares.

Jeez, the Fisher interview was hard to watch.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jeez, the Fisher interview was hard to watch.

Was she pretty upset?

I switched back to the golf after the final so missed the post race stuff.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, completely devastated.

Fair to say she's been through a bit in the last eight years (opting out of Tokyo etc). Hard to imagine how it feels to come up just short after clawing her way back to this level.

"PhD in breakdancing"

I have a doctorate in thugonomics

I mean she probably has written an actual thesis on breakdancing, which is pretty cool.
