Re: Tokyo Olympics
I had wondered if i was going soft on them this year... perhaps children of an age where they are involved in this had soften me
No, turns out these guys are just delivering, which is what they didnt do in Rio
Re: Tokyo Olympics
Re: Tokyo Olympics
Throssell qualifies sixth in the Women's 200m butterfly final.
Re: Tokyo Olympics
Great race from Zac Stubblety-Cook in the Men's 200m breaststroke. Finished first in his semi final, qualifies first for the final. Matt Wilson eliminated.
Re: Tokyo Olympics
I thought they were going to get a silver there in the Men's 4x200m free, but just got touched out by Korea. It's a BRONZE.
Re: Tokyo Olympics
Results so far in tonight’s heats. Emma McKeon great swim, great gold medal chance there.
Women’s 100m freestyle heats - Emma McKeon first (52.13 OR), Cate Campbell fourth (52.80)
Men’s 200m backstroke heats - Tristan Hollard 10th (1:57.24)
Tomorrow morning’s session…
Zac Stubblety-Cook a gold medal chance in the Men’s 200m breaststroke final.
Kyle Chal res qualified sixth in the Men’s 100m freestyle final, but don’t count him out.
Jack McLoughlin qualifies sixth in the Men’s 800m freestyle final.
Brianna Throssell qualified sixth in the Women’s 200m butterfly final.
Still to see how Australia go in tonight’s heats for the Women’s 4x200m freestyle relay, but they must be a great chance.

Passing the mantle: Australia celebrates the new Oarsome Foursome
The Canberra Raiders might be struggling, but they helped win rowing gold for Australia on Wednesday.
“Four races in a row - gold, gold, bronze, bronze - it’s awesome,” said Alex Purnell, who won the gold along with Spencer Turrin, Jack Hargreaves and Alex Hill, the man considered the world’s best rower.
Purnell was calling the strokes through the race, but at the end he gave up calling for calm and instead called for passion. He repeatedly screamed out “Vic”, the name of Turrin’s father. He knew the response he would get.
“I yelled out his dad’s name, I know it gets him going. Then Spencer was like, ‘come on Raiders’. The last 100 it was ‘Raiders, Raiders, Raiders’,” Purnell said.

Re: Tokyo Olympics
Wow, I thought Chalmers was going to do it! SILVER for Kyle Chalmers from lane seven. He came home so fast. It was just the touch. Personal best for Chalmers.
Re: Tokyo Olympics
Yeah i really thought Chalmers had him there
I was shocked when it came up silver
And now unfortunately, Kyle has to swim home... sorry, thems the rules

Re: Tokyo Olympics
Well that didn't turn out like we thought. Bronze for the women in the 4x200m freestyle relay. China world record. Needed a stronger swimmer on the anchor leg. The strategy seemed to be to blow them away in the first two legs but it just didn't happen.
Re: Tokyo Olympics
Our two best swimmers leading off and really didnt do that well
VERY disappointing. But those two golden girls have a bit more to do in this olympics so i guess we can forgive them

Another gold in the sailing. He's earnt a plane ride home now. Would have have been a long navigation to port Sydney in his laser class otherwise.
Re: Tokyo Olympics
9 gold in the first week is a huge effort.
Hopefully in for a few more in the athletics
