This one has broken me. Actually in tears. What she and her family have been through, just wow. And what a flawless final and Olympics.

Her interview on 9 is an all-timer!

A question for RussellEbertHandball how many times has Australia claimed 3 individual gold on a single day at the Olympics?

A question for RussellEbertHandball how many times has Australia claimed 3 individual gold on a single day at the Olympics?

On the first day when we won 3 - 2 swimming and Grace Brown on the road time trial, Eddie said we had won 4 on think it was day 5 in Tokyo. May have been 1 other time in Athens as the track cycling was on at same times as the swimming and we might have won 3 as we won 7 in swimming and 6 in cycling.

This is the first time we have won a gold medal on each of the first 7 days. Think that record was first 4 days.

I have some stuff from Tokyo and will check it later.

 

[AdelaideGT]

That could well be a new World Record for Kaya lol

 

[catstorm]

Hopefully in 4 years Kai can join her in LA.

He is trying to make the Paralympic rowing team.

 

[Drummond]

Cam, Kaylee and now Saya.

3 golds and 3 incredible stories. Wow.

 

[Wickzki]

Congratulations Saya. What a story of bravery, guts, and perseverance.

 

[Plugger35]

Saya starring in the remake of BMX F***ing Bandits.

That one won't be rated PG for mild coarse language.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

pepsi don't need my notes when wiki does it.

Day 5 Tokyo was 3, Day 9 was 4, reckon it might have been 2 rowing and 2 sailing on that day.

Does that mean we're ahead of Sydney , Athens and Tokyo at the same stage in terms of gold?

Go this site and click on the relevant Olympic Games on the right hand side if you really want to know and do the count. From my above post we had 9 at end of Day 7 in Tokyo.

There was no BMX racing back in Sydney and Athens.

From memory it only came in for Beijing back in 2008.

I remember thinking BMX in the Olympics, this is crazy.

Now it's a traditional Olympic sport compared to skateboarding and breakdancing.

 

[Drummond]

So good that Saya can really enjoy it and soak it all in. Karl, “I don know if there’s a dry eye in Australia this morning”.

Start work in an hour. Hoping adrenaline can get me through but I’m wrecked.

Doesn't mean that there will be as many gold won here though. Sydney and Athens were exceptional Olympics for Aus.

 

[toml]

My god some of the things Saya and her family have been through. Waking up to see she won gold has left me in a blubbering mess, amazing.

 

[getthefooty]

Am I correct that we should be through to the semis of the W 3x3 basketball if we beat last placed France? Top 2 (Germany and Spain) play each other in the last game, and we have scored more points than both. Not sure if the tiebreaker is done on point differential or points scored though.

Edit - just read the rules. Tiebreaker is done via H2H. So I think we are still fine - if Germany beats Spain, we’re through because we have more wins than Spain, and if Spain beats Germany, we’re through on H2H as we beat Germany (assuming we beat France).

What a morning.

My wife was part of Saya's brother's rehab journey when he was in hospital - and knowing what that family had to go through the last few years has been so terrible - so glad that the family have something to celebrate.

I'll never accept skateboarding or breakdancing as Olympic sports.
