Our Womens Sevens team?Thinking the yanks will smash the Matildas and quite easily. Has there been a more overhyped team in Australian sport ?
The women are carrying the nation.
Nah it happened in Tokyo but was pretty equal before that.I'm fairly sure this gets said every olympics.
I can't think of any male outside swimming who has won 3 individual medals.
Sorry meant 3 individual gold medals. too early in the morning.Walker Jared Tallent - 1 Gold/2 Silver/1 Bronze
Most people in the final - another win for the USA!Might be a first 2 Americans finished 7th and 8th. Kyle 8th at 50m. Would never have won but maybe 3rd or 4th would have meant you got silver with a bit more of a gap.

You think she get a statue in her home cityGreat stats by Eddie when talking to Jess Fox.
Only Oz female Olympians to defend their title, Shirley Strickland in 80m hurdles in 1952, Dawn Fraser 100m Free in 1964, and now Ariane Titmus 400m, Kaylee McKeown 100m backstroke and now Jess all in Paris.
The only Oz female to win 3 individual gold medals outside of our swimmers, is Betty Cuthbert 100m+200m in Melbourne 1956 and 400m in Tokyo 1964. Eddie then tells Jess she has a statute at the MCG, so Jess might get one and that's how big what she has done is, relative to other Oz female Olympians.
Edit; Eddie might have said What Betty Cuthbert did was unique between both female and male Oz Olympians outside the swimmers. I can't think of any male outside swimming who has won 3 individual gold medals. There are at least a couple on two - Edwin Flack and cyclist Ryan Bailey come to mind.
nobodyWho is our best male chance of a gold medal other then Mcevoy.
She's absolutely the GOAT. Id argue one of our best ever olympians. Pressure of being the best in the world and one of our flagbearers and she has ice in her veins and gets it done when it matters. Put her on a pedestal for Australian sport she deserves it. A legend.Jess Fox? NAH! JESS GOAT

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.
