Paris 2024

[RedRaider]

How wonderful it was for Mollie O’Callaghan to ask Ariarne Titmus to stand beside her on the gold medal dias during the national anthem. What a moment.

Yep, a quality swimmer and human being.

Or as Little Richard would sing:

Mixed results in the boxing with Australia's largest ever team.
Womens 60Kg Tyla McDonald defeated by her Ecuador opponent.
Mens 63.5Kg Harry Garside defeated by his Hungarian opponent.

In good news though Mens 92Kg + Teremoana Teremoana has knocked out his Ukranian opponent in the first round.
He has a Scottish mum and a Cook Islands dad. I wonder if Rapa knows him. Teremoana can dance too. See below.

This Women's 7s team is so good it's not fair.

Assessing them for a workable #9 now.

I assume you’re looking at a straight Levi for Levi swap?

[Botman]

This olympics has been really good save for how **** **** NineNow is and their streaming service

Arnie and Mollie race this morning was awesome, so good to see those two girls push each other. Jess Fox getting the gold in the K1 yesterday was special too

[-TW-]

9now is EDIT

I ended up paying for a month of Stan just to get away from it, and even then it's only marginally better

Oh look, Nickman’s favourite team up early against Canada

GOLD Australia Kaylee McKeown Women’s 100m backstroke

Defends her Olympic title!

[Dr Zaius]

Sounds like Canada did a number on us several times over overnight.

[Dr Zaius]

I've often thought that the number of sports at the Olympics is getting a bit much. On that note, 3x3 basketball? Cmon! How is that an Olympic sport? It's a fall back plan for basketballers not good enough to get a professional contract.

Aussie Women's sevens bow out without a medal. They had the lead in both games against Canada and the USA but could not finish it. Kiwi's won Gold.

Kyle Chalmers has the second fastest time into the Men's 100 meter freestyle final.
Shayna Jack has the second fastest time into the Women's 100 meter freestyle final.
Mollie O'Callaghan has the third fastest time into the Women's 100 meter freestyle final.
Zack Stublety-Cook won his semi in the Men's 200 meter breast stroke semi and is 2nd fastest for the final.

BRONZE Australia Men’s 4x200m freestyle relay

[RedRaider]

More defeats for the Aussie boxers at the Olympics:

Men's 51Kg Yusuf Chothia defeated by his Spanish opponent
Women's 54Kg Tiana Echegaray defeated by her Turkish opponent
Men's 80Kg Callum Peters defeated by his Kazakhstan opponent

The over representation of Australian Rugby commentators across the Channel 9 and Stan Olympic coverage and event preview shows has been ridiculous.

Ex Rugby players so full of their own sports importance and so myopic in their view of Australian Rugby and its players, has clouded their ability to provide any insight into Australian Olympic sport.

I’ve been really annoyed by their saturated rugby promotion across the coverage.

It feels like this opening ceremony will never end.

Was so long they even managed to offend Christians No winners, just losers there

Oh look, Nickman’s favourite team up early against Canada

Hahaha I have absolutely no idea what this could've been in reference to

Anyone care to enlighten me?

If I had to guess it would be either Equestrian Team Dressage or Break Dancing. Both up your alley?

I think it was pretty obvious they've come out and apologized boneheads

That water they're swimming in for the triathalon looks so polluted

Will be interesting to see how many dead triathletes there are tomorrow. Like fish, belly up.

Well the kiwi bloke certainly died in the last 200m or so.

Running in quick sand the last 500m. Rigor mortice setting in. This is how zombie apocalypses start.

Some kind of infection internal or external at the very least

GOLD Australia Jessica Fox C1 canoe slalom

[RedRaider]

Silver medals for Kyle Chalmers (100 Freestyle) and Zack Stubblety-Cook (200 Breast stroke) in the pool. Chalmers was last at the turn and it took a world record swim from Zhanla of China to win. Zack ran second to the French machine Marchand who also won gold in the 200 Butterfly earlier in the night.

Unfortunate for Mollie O'Callaghan who finished 4th by 100th of a second and Shayna Jack who finished 5th.

[RedRaider]

Matilda's go down 2-1 to the USA. They certainly were not disgraced in this match. They now will need other results to go their way to progress. Apart from the first game against World No.4 ranked Germany the Matilda's have played ok. USA are the No.5 ranked side so the Matilda's were in a very tough Group with their ranking of 12. Without Sam Kerr they have still been competitive, although I would have liked to have seen Michelle Heyman given longer minutes up front.

[PNGRaider37]

Surprised the USA aren't near the top of the Gold tally. Probably shoot up at track and field time.

Jemima Montag wins BRONZE in the 20km race walk for women.

Good onya Jemima..

AUS finish last, stone motherless last..in the mens rowing 4s.

Keep rowing boys, head home.

GOLD Australia Women’s 4x200m freestyle relay. Olympic record. Thought they might break their own world record for a bit.

[RedRaider]

New Olympic record for the Australian Women's 4 x 200m freestyle relay team. They took about 2 seconds off the previous Olympic record.
As the late great Norman 'Nugget' May would have said: "GOLD, GOLD for Australia, GOLD."

[RedRaider]
