Did Ch9 really go to an ad instead of showing the canoe sprint?

 

[Royces Hart]

**** me, if Lisa Carrington was on the Titanic with a paddle, she could have stopped it from sinking.

 

[Drummond]

Super impressive by the Kiwi pair, well done to them. Aussies…didn’t come last!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The Goat in the Boat - what a great line by James Tomkins to describe Lisa Carrington.

The Aussie K2 girls finished 6th I think and as I typed and hour or so ago I expected them to be bottom 3.

 

[AdelaideGT]

didn’t come last!

lol - commentator said 'Aussies battling for fifth' and I yelled 'you mean not last'...

 

[catstorm]

This is really ****ing poor by the officials release the ****ing result.

This is really ****ing poor by the officials release the ****ing result.

We didn't win a medal and thats all give a stuff about.

 

[Babylove]

Good old channel 9. Hung around for the result then missed that they called a tie for the Bronze between the 2nd Hungary team and Germany

 

[largebus]

Dunno how they split Germany and Hungary for the bronze, they got the same time

Edit: they shared it

 

[Jeremias]

Good chance for a big medal here I think. Let’s go.

 

[AdelaideGT]

they got the same time

Some sports - athletics does it - separates them by thousandths of a second even though the time is just displayed to hundredths.

eg
1. Freeman 11.20 (11.201)
2. Freedom 11.20 (11.203)

 

[Drummond]

Cmon boys, let’s go! This is going to be close but I believe!

 

[Plugger35]

I missed Lisa Carrington winning another gold for NZ as I was watching the footy.

I probably won't get to see a replay on Ch9 either as she isn't an Aussie, I might have to find a replay from TVNZ.

 

[myblueroan]

Germans were foxing again

 

[catstorm]

**** me

 

[Bedi]

bloody Germans again

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

German's just went out like a rocket.

 

[largebus]

That's poor, let em get away early.

 

[Drummond]

Is the commentator really trying to sell us a silver chance? They might get bronze.

 

[myblueroan]

3rd I think.
Exactly the same tactics as yesterday from Germans.

 

[fuic08]

Bronze it looked like

 

[catstorm]

The exact same thing as the 4, learned nothing.

 

[Bedi]

humble Hungarians

 

[AdelaideGT]

I missed Lisa Carrington winning another gold for NZ.

Don't worry - she'll be back winning another one any minute now..

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Confirmed Bronze.
