The women are doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the Aussies, how many of their 12 golds have they won? It must be 10 or 11.

It's the same for my mob the Kiwis, both our golds are from the women, one in the Rugby 7s and the other in the double sculls.

Only 2 from men.

Is the yellow lane slow on release?

This shit is crazy, total crap shoot.

The Kiwi woman getting a battery change in the cycling road race, I didn't even know they had batteries on their bikes.

I should start a Kiwi Watch thread but I would probably be the only one here posting in it.

Really seems that way, it always seems to be the last to hit the water.

This is so fun to watch.

It’s like snowboard cross not completely sure either should be in the games (they seem X games fun sports) however it’s great to watch

 

[catstorm]

What are the **** are these commentators talking about. The Brit was in front he can’t pick to go the same side as the Pol, ****ing morons.

This is so fun to watch.

What are you watching? I'm watching the cycling and it isn't that fun to watch.

Kayak Cross. Roller derby on water.

Yep - Kayak Cross.

It’s wild. Mario Cart on water in real life.

The gears and derailleurs on modern road bikes are all electronically controlled.
Big spud up from the Kiwis to supply her with a bike with not enough power to shift gears

Yellow lane definitely opens latest.

Sounds exciting, why are Ch9 not showing it on their main channel instead of cycling?

Now they have just crossed to it and binned the cycling.

 

[catstorm]

Aussie through easily.

 

[Big Red Machine]

Yeah can't unsee it after you guys mentioned it.

Timmy Anderson wins his heat in an absolute canter

I’m not sure, theoretically that is also the spot that the “Worst” qualifier is in, so it might be just that the paddlers who suck at starts go from that spot.

Haha an Aussie just ran so I guess that's why they switched over. Fox sisters both up in an hour or so.

 

[Plugger35]

This is more exciting than the cycling.

Plugger, it’s so easy to pick and choose on the 9NOW app. Do you want a hand?

But it should be an equal release. Happy to recognize the ranking on the water

**** yeah upset
