[AdelaideGT]

Was gonna take a nap until 3.30am but the windsurfer could get us our 13th gold...

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just need 5 more Gold to match our best ever gold medal tally at the Olympics.

It's really slim pickings once the swimming is over.

 

[Moonwatcher]

How long will the windsurfing take?

 

[AdelaideGT]

"From one end of Paris to the other"...

Ummm Brace... Paris doesn't have a coastline...

Yeah, I'd want both 4x100m Golds

 

[getthefooty]

**** I was nervous there, thought we were gonna blow that. Huge win

Grae Morris in the windsurfing final now.They’re working out whether someone false started.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Those dudes have balance

 

[two blue tiger]

Down a break and the Yanks looking better

Very happy to have gone early on this one and been proved a bad judge of tennis! Well done guys. Awesome win.

Little chance of either.

7/1 (Women) and 9/1 (Men).

Jess Fox & Kaylee have a chance of Gold.

Nina Kennedy (Pole Vault) & Mackenzie Little (Javelin) in aths.

I think one of our cyclists/teams are supposed to have a chance.

Hockey?

Any genuine chances left in the swimming?

No expert but the betting markets are fairly good indicators. Best chance is McKeown in the 200 IM at $6.50.

Women's high jump a big chance. Could even get two medals.

Jack Robinson in surfing.

Woodies never won gold.

Yes they did, Atlanta 1996.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Day is having a good day.

Pun intended

 

[AdelaideGT]

Woodies never won gold.

1996 Gold
2000 Silver

Cannot believe it. That was just a clutch performance, to come down from a break in both sets. The pressure in an Olympic final is next level and they delivered. Go down as Aussie tennis heroes now.

Just shocked I was able to see that. If you heard a lot of chanting on the broadcast, that was me.

50 free with Shayna Jack maybe.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Women's high jump a big chance. Could even get two medals.

I was only listing the firmer chances of golds, not medals - or I could have listed many more.

Nicola is certainly the silver-favourite.

1996 Gold
2000 Silver

Ahh you're right. I have the heartbreak of the Sydney Olympics final in my brain. Was hoping they would win that one at home.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Wind surfing is one of those sports where you have no ****ing idea what is going on.

 

[pepsi]

Yes they did, Atlanta 1996.

You're right! I forgot about that one
