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

[largebus]

Matt Wearn finishes 10th in both races and has a 17 point lead over Cyprus going into the final 3 races. If he can just stay close to Cyprus he should get the gold

So both Aussies through to the Quarters

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

I'm not good with apps but I have just fired up the 9Now website on my spare laptop so I'm good to go.

 

[JP Sauce]

Foxes in under 10 mins. Very tough for them to both get through, but Jess Fox can do anything!

Jess vs Noemie

Winner gets the top bunk

 

[AdelaideGT]

Woke up a bit earlier than planned.

Oh well - let's foxing go!!

 

[Jeremias]

Fox derby now

 

[Jeremias]

Woke up a bit earlier than planned.

Oh well - let's foxing go!!

You've already slept? A bit soft...

 

[Jeremias]

Jess gone.

 

[JP Sauce]

Jess gone. Had a chance at that last upstream gate but couldn't quite get it.

Noemie wins!

 

[Plugger35]

Noemie going through instead of Jess.

There is a new Fox in town.

 

[Jeremias]

That was nuts.

Jess got caught at the start and nearly recovered, but the effort to get back undid her at an upstream.

Great run by Noemie.

 

[JP Sauce]

So close. She cut inside on that last upstream but didn't quite bet the pole to behave. A few cms and she'd have been a shot at 2nd.

Crazy scenes.

Gotta feel for Jess, almost recovered it perfectly.

She can sleep with her two golds though!

 

[JP Sauce]

Alright I'm off to the beach.

Come on girls!!!

 

[AdelaideGT]

You've already slept? A bit soft...

If you can call a two-hour nap 'slept'...

Will be 6am+ before I sleep/nap again..

 

[JP Sauce]

Crazy scenes.

Gotta feel for Jess, almost recovered it perfectly.

She can sleep with her two golds though!

Absolutely. Always the GOAT, Mario Kart luck can get anyone!

Plus she's working on a 2 gold medal hangover. I'd still be drunk!

 

[AdelaideGT]

If Jess lost, she could not be happier that her sister got through.


Only thing bad about waking up is seeing Djokovic won..

 

[Jeremias]

Aussie women have started their R16 vs Brazil in the beach volleyball.

 

[JP Sauce]

If Jess lost, she could not be happier that her sister got through.

Yep. So cool for Noemie. She'd have been an Olympian before 2024 if she wasn't Jess Fox's younger sister. Now she's got a chance.

 

[JP Sauce]

Very tight game on the beach.

 

[Plugger35]

The Brazilian girls pulling out the old sand on the sunglasses excuse, that's the oldest trick in the book.

 

[Jeremias]

Great first set, finally goes to the Aussie pair.

24-22.

 

[JP Sauce]

Vamos!!!

Aussies win the first set on the beach. Really good game so far, both teams in control for periods.

 

[Plugger35]

The Volleyroos go one set up.

Beach volleyball at it's finest.
