**Official** Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics

[wpdavid]

Dane just wasn't looking, stupid prat.

Anyway, what a day for Britain.

Just said on BBC that Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny, Steve Redgrave and Mo Farah all share the same birthday. Ridiculous fact that our who's who of Olympic greats all born on March 23rd.

There's a reason why 20 June is the longest day.

EDIT
And I know that makes no sense really, it was just something that came to mind.

I've done a tiny bit of bouldering when some friends got me into it a few years ago. I've never watched sport climbing before but I thought I knew what to expect. Immediately saw someone fly up the wall in five seconds and just burst out laughing. The olympics is ridiculous.

 

[Burgey]

Always good to get one over Jerry.

 

[Victor Ian]

Yeah, it is amazing how they can sprint up vertically.

 

[Daemon]

This kid Knighton is seriously quick. Only 17 too holy ****.

 

[Spark]

Aus men showing up the women for a change (hockey in this case).

Turns out climbing is miles better as a spectator sport than I was expecting.

pretty relieved katie laurie switched allegiance to australia based on this, because she would have been in our side.

just not a good day for her. hope for australia she turns it around for the teams event.

Big day for a few of our teams with the blokes hockey, basketball and women’s beach volleyball all winning their quarter finals

Stingers (water polo) lost by one goal though.

The quarter finals are the hardest game in the tournament. One game, loser leaves, regardless of pool stage play. If you lose your semi you at least get a shot at bronze. A loss in the quarters and you're gone.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah. But I mean, bronze.

 

[stephen]

Yeah. But I mean, bronze.

Still a medal and still more than either of us have accomplished.

Speak for yourself mate

 

[Shady Slim]

oh **** no he's going to start talking about Fox v Percy again

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Well he did get a silver in that to be fair.

 

[Shady Slim]

Well he did get a silver in that to be fair.

@Burgey you could have heard this one already but a couple of mates of mine took Arthur Emmett's roman law at uni last sem, and apparently there were a lot of times when he'd talk about cases he acted on, both before the privy council and HCA, and he would keep saying he "came second" whenever it was a case he went down in

"ah, so here's another case where i came second..."

 

[Burgey]

I prefer to call myself "the Xth most cited loser in Australian legal history." Has a good ring to it.

 

[stephen]

Speak for yourself mate

BotM is not an Olympic event champ.

 

[Burgey]

Lol as though I consider that some sort of lifetime achievement. smh
