If Australia and NZ were one country, the NZ area wouldn't get any funding though

What are you basing that on? Makes no sense

Aditi Ashok doing well in women’s golf, solo 2nd after 54 holes…

More importantly what would you call it? Aus-Zealand. Great Ausland. New Zealstralia. Australia + friends. Australia 2: Electric Boogaloo.

The Aotearoa Experience Featuring Oztralia

 

[Victor Ian]

I'd call Australia New Zealand the southern pacific to be spacific.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

**** off we're full, but also you can't leave either

Just imagine how great a combined cricket team would be. Haze, Cummins, Wagner with the ball, Smith, Taylor, Labuschagne and Williamson in the middle order. Would be an ATG quality side. Better yet, we could get Gary Stead to coach so the team could actually perform.

haha yea the bowler of the wtc final who averages 14 would still be playing fc cricket for auckland probably.

The world record by the Polish climber in the women's speed climbing final was phenomenal to watch. It'll be interesting to see what she can do in the bouldering now.

The riding in the modern pentathlon on right now. Great if you want to watch Olympic athletes failing at something, which is otherwise a rarity.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yup, there it is. Horse is currently bidding for freedom.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Australia and NZ combined

Wasn't that the original plan when the colonies federated anyway?

NZ can legally join us whenever they like. It's literally in our constitution.

We're still wondering why they don't want to instantly improve their looks, IQ and general attractiveness, but hey, it's up to them.

Now it's the Slovenian who's nailing it in the bouldering - the only one to reach the top of each of the first two. Seriously impressive.

 

[Howe_zat]

Pentathlon finish was fantastic. Get Kate French into the athletics - just belted everyone on the running.

 

[stephen]

The bouldering has to be the single most challenging sport in the Olympics. Literally only one of these world class Olympians have even made it.

 

[Chubb]

Not a horse person but every Olympics I feel sorry for the modern pentathlon horses. I get it sucks for the athletes but they chose to specialise in a sport that involves riding a random steed and it’s not like the horses get a choice.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Those horses are probably given a **** load of cocaine.

yea opened fb and all the horsey types are WTFing at the pentathlete riders

apparently they're given grand prix horses. not sure who is mad enough to risk six figures of animal on some random schmuck, but i guess they're getting the horses from somewhere.

 

[Burgey]

What about the seven figure athletes being risked on random horses?

The one who got silver must have run well as they were numbered how they went off and she was 13 so must have been miles behind to start with.

Maybe the modern pentathletes might just be worth seven figures if you added up all of the future career earnings combined.
