Tokyo Olympics

[Old Woof Woof]

Seeing as no one else has started a discussion on this i thought it appropriate considering how well our aussie swimmers are doing in the pool .
Well done girls and boys we are all so proud of you. How about a little humour from poolside.
A female British sports interviewer was congratulating some of the UK male team swimmers on their win and turned around to one of them and said "Congratulations I really loved your third leg" to which the swimmer tried to keep a straight face and she looked in horror at her faux pas lol

Congratulations to our amazing olympians you have all done us proud . In a time when there is only bad news lockdowns etc it was a welcome relief to enjoy the moment with these incredible athletes . We are now 4th on the medal table after so many gold won on water, in the pool, in sailing and canoeing and rowing adding the bonus of wins in BMX freestyling . How refreshing was this to see these young people on the podium and in the making records were broken for the history books with the enormous contribution of Emma McKeon from Woollongong. We are still in the running for women's soccer, women's and men's hockey and whatever other surprises to come out of this Olympics in the next week.
Well done to all of you!!!

I'm suprised to see how many medals China and Japan have won.

 

[BomberBurton]

Hosts usually do well, so Japan doesn't surprise me.
Drugs and cheating always help you win, so China doesn't surprise me either.

Good to see the weightlifting bloke from NZ (who thinks he's a woman) bomb out before the finals by failing the snatch (ironic indeed).

Dude contact the home owner and tell him to have one installed. I mean yeah I'm in front of a computer all day like everyone else but need to watch the news and other stuff on FTA lol.

Nah we don't watch much FTA (thankfully). We already have Foxtel Go, Stan and Netflix, as well as Uncle Torrance, and still don't have time to watch everything.

We are 1 gold medal away from having our most successful team in Olympic history... but I think our poor athletes are all gassed

That's seriously impressive.

Equal most gold (17), but currently 41 medals in total (highest is 58 in Sydney or 50 outside of being a host nation).

 

[Wahesh]

And that's all she wrote. We equaled Athens gold with 17 but should've won a few more.

Better luck for us next time I guess.

 

[BomberBurton]

Is ok.
Probably pick up a few when Covid-19 holoucast China is found guilty of drug cheating.
Nice they didn't finish first on the medal count too.
That will piss them off to no end.

Keegan Palmer the mad lad!

 

[Captain Ibis]

can't find a good video of this race unfortunately, just lame as commentary with chopped up clips... one of the most insane races ever!

 

[Captain Ibis]

I was hoping to see Rob Pace at the Olympics.. he used to skate for a company I used to work for, but I think he is predominantly a street skater

 

[Captain Ibis]

This was such a good race from Hassan.. Gidey tried to wear her down but Hassan never went away and smashed it in the final lap

 

[BomberBurton]

Love how Winnie the Pooh is including Macau, Taiwan and Hong Kong's medals in China's count so they come first.
Such insecurity, so lame, many pathetic!

 

[Captain Ibis]

That's pretty shit.. I do question if there's also a kinda anti-Russia allegiance, as they missed gold in at least a couple of events that they have dominated for many years
