Aussies Aussie Watch - Paris 2024 - Paralympics 28 Aug - 8 Sep

The bloke who said she was out of gold contention after the first time check.

Chew on it your w***er.

Haha yeah that was a crazy call. By the next checkpoint she was under.

 

[Wickzki]

What does the FOX say?

Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold gold.

 

[Visions]

When the German put that time down, l thought there is no way anyone would match that.

Jess just came out and blew it away.
Total clutch, she is the antithesis of the womens rugby team.

The slaloms are the most nerve racking event to watch there is. Can't imagine what it's like to compete on the big stage in them! For Fox to achieve what she has after previous Olympic heart breaks is staggering. Her legacy sits where it deserves to now.

 

[Royces Hart]

Amazing family. Her old man has finally made me like a Pom, is there anything they can’t do?

"It's gonna be hard to get gold from here" needs to be clipped and used for eternity, up there with Gary Hall Jr. smashing us like guitars for Aussies making em eat shit.

Haha yeah that was a crazy call. By the next checkpoint she was under.

Not just under but under by a half a second

Kingston Town can't win

Hard to remember a more clutch Olympic performance from an Aussie since Matthew Mitcham getting the highest scoring dive in history.
10 golds in 5 days

K. Perkins from lane 8 also comes to mind.

Bloody judges taking forever to find a penalty.

That shit me. Almost as if they were trying to find a way to give her a missed gate and then begrudgingly downgrade to a 2 sec penalty.

When it takes that long with all the technology they have, you think the benefit of the doubt goes her way.

Also you would think they would wait until the penalty is confirmed before sending the next person down so that they know what they are chasing. Thats the advantage you get by posting the fastest semi time and going last.

Seemed to be a shambles.

The women are carrying the nation.

The men so far have contributed 3 silvers and a bronze out 14 medals. Need Kyle and co to do something special tonight.

Elijah Winnington in 400m Free, Men's 4x100m Free and Equestrian Chris Burton for silver and the men's 4x200m Free last night won the bronze.

 

[Royces Hart]

Look how much the other two medalists are in awe of her, that speaks volumes.

And is her sister the unluckiest person in the world?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Are these Ray Warren voice over's AI generated??

 

[JP Sauce]

As bad as the "out of gold contention" call was, the shrieking "AHHH!!!" when she crossed the line and commentary saw her time - that was all of us!

How do you cross words out? I’m new at typing haha

Do you see the bar that has the bold text option?

Click the three dots. Strikethrough is on the bar that will pop up.

I was discussing this the other day. It’s not an enjoyable watch so to say, because it’s just so nerve-racking. Every turn, every gate, you feel the worst will happen. It’s an incredible sport.

What we do when waiting for 3am.

Amazing family. Her old man has finally made me like a Pom, is there anything they can’t do?

I'm amazed how calm he is during commentary when she is on. I go troppo when my 9 year old daughter does a cartwheel in her dance routine, let alone if she was jostling for a gold medal at the Olympics.

 

[Drummond]

I just read that Diehm has had five knee reconstructions. My goodness. What a story to win an Olympic medal!

I read 3 the other day, maybe 3 in one knee and 2 in the other one.

 

[Worm4]

Thinking the yanks will smash the Matildas and quite easily. Has there been a more overhyped team in Australian sport ?

I don't know how sports historian Greg Blood got hold of them, but this is Gracenote's medal predictions for Oz by event

Maybe you have to pay for the list. SMH article by Chip Le Grand yesterday also has the list.

These are the athletes tipped to fuel Australia’s record Olympic medal haul

If the latest predictions prove accurate, Australia’s Olympic team in Paris will set a new high watermark for medals won at the Games.

www.smh.com.au

So far Gracenote has picked 6 of the 7 gold winners correctly;

Fox x 2, Cycling Grace Brown, Swimming W 100m back, W 400m, W 4x100m Free,
Got MOC and Titmus in 200m Free round the wrong way
Got Logan Martin wrong - he crashed out today, other 7 still to be decided.
