Give her a god damn parade and make her PM for god sakes!
The reign of terror that Ledecky has had on swimming is over. And i for one welcome our new women's overlord.
All hail, Arianne.

Her coach was going nuts

That was just incredible to watch. It was like watching the Raiders against the Eels in the final 20 minutes. Heart beating fast, I was screaming at the TV. Bit of a tear now.

Very proud moment for Australia

Mitch Larkin third in the first semi final of the Men's 100m backstroke. Should definitely make the final.

Just had a look at the odds for the 4x100 and australia are $15 to win and 4th favourite... seems like we're going to have to have incredible swims to medal in that

[greeneyed]

Isaac Cooper started well in the second semi final of the 100m backstroke, but finished seventh. Did a PB. Mitch Larkin qualifies for the final in third.

[Botman]

We're all thinking it, so im just going to say it
Arno Kamminga is a sexy man. My goodness

[greeneyed]

McKeown and Seebohm finish second and third in the second semi final of the Women's 100m backstroke. McKeown qualifies in third, Seebohm qualifies in sixth.

Did well for Bronze there

They were absolutely nowhere for the most part until Chalmers leg

Kyle Chalmers was awesome in the Men's 4x100m relay! Bronze for Australia, almost a silver!

[the bone]

Nice job to snag bronze in the men’s 4 x 100m freestyle relay

[Botman]

HUGE final leg by Chalmers.
happy to get a bronze there, really didnt have the horses to give it a shake with the US team

Great morning of swimming.

Highly recommended Roy and HGs daily Olympics podcast "Dodging Armageddon"

“The IOC have allowed the athletes to remove their mask for 30 seconds at medal presentations for photos. Now I'm not an epidemiologist, but from what I understand of the virus, well that 30 seconds could kill them. Kill them! Our most cherished citizens - those that win medals - dead. It would be far safer to take the photos individually, and photo shop them together. Sure it might be a bit blurry, but no one dies "

If you haven’t seen Arnies coach Dean Boxall going troppo yet..find it..watch it !!

Beautiful stuff.

Great comeback from the stingers there. Not sure how many tackles are allowed in water polo?

I signed up for our high school team and went to one training session. Spent 20 minutes treading water and said **** this isn't for me, so I never learnt the rules.

Missed the early swimming heats tonight as I was watching the Ricky Stuart documentary. But... these are the results for the Australians so far.

Women’s 200m freestyle (heats for semi-finals) - Ariarne Titmus 4th (1:55.88), Maddie Wilson 3rd (1:55.87)

Men’s 200m butterfly heats - Matt Temple eliminated (1:56.25), David Morgan eliminated (2:00.27)

Women’s 1500m freestyle heats are to come... Kiah Melverton, Maddy Gough

[greeneyed]

Women’s 1500m freestyle... Kiah Melverton and Maddy Gough qualify for the final in seventh and eighth. Doesn't look like a medal chance there.

[greeneyed]

Titmus finishes first in the first semi final of the Women's 200m freestyle. Maddie Wilson finishes fourth in the second semi final. Titmus qualifies first, Wilson eighth.

GOLD Kaylee McKeown Women's 100m backstroke! Olympic record. Seebohm finished fifth.

[the bone]

Kaylee McKeown wins Australia’s 3rd gold! Well done!

[greeneyed]

Mitch Larkin finishes seventh in the Men's 100m backstroke final. Poor start cost him.

[Botman]

Larkin?
Should change his name to Larrikin, he's straight up having a laugh with that sort of performance.

[Botman]

What a swim by Kaylee McKeown though... Just brilliant stuff from her. Our new backstroke queen... long may she reign

[greeneyed]

Bronze for Jessica Fox... wow, she finished first in the first two stages, but two mistakes in the final, cost the gold.

GOLD Kaylee McKeown Women's 100m backstroke! Olympic record. Seebohm finished fifth.

Throughout her entire career I've always had the utmost belief in... *checks notes* Kaylee McKeown.

Kayak. I watched a whole afternoon of kayaking only for it all to collapse in a bit over a minute.
