I don't know how, but this seppo comentator on Stan has slowly grown on me.

He's just SO American. Somehow, against all odds, it's become endearing.

The Kookaburras look cooked, they couldn't even score a goal with the Dutchies a man down.

 

[Royces Hart]

Stoked for Meg Harris. Fantastic team member, who gets a well deserved moment in the sun.

 

[Plugger35]

Harris not dropping any f bombs in her Ch9 interview, that's a f***ing shame.

Meanwhile the Dutch have gone 2-0 up against the Kookaburras, they are a laughing stock.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Kookaburras are gone.Van dam just scored for Dutch down 0-2 with 8 minutes to go.

I don't know how, but this seppo comentator on Stan has slowly grown on me.

He's just SO American. Somehow, against all odds, it's become endearing.

He'll say stuff like:

"Eight enter, but ONLY THREE, will take home medals. We're at the bottom of the 9th and BASES LOADED. Go big, or go home.... Like BON JOVI said, we're halfway there, living on a prayer of OLYMPIC GOLD. Who will LAND the TOUCHDOWN? Who will be the MAN with the GOLDEN MEDAL? Your thoughts, Nic?"

Edit: Nic not Meg!

 

[JP Sauce]

We were gone already 0-2 down, but both times I've switched back to the hockey in the 4th quarter I've seen different Dutch players rolling around on the ground in pain.

 

[Plugger35]

It's getting feisty in the hockey but the Dutch will have the last laugh winning 2-0.

I don't think the Kookaburras were laughing at the Dutch guys employing the Italian style football tactics of flopping for frees.

Yeah cos we kept hitting them, lol.

 

[Jeremias]

4x100 medley almost a go - let’s see what the Aussie boys have in them.

 

[juice t]

Will do well to get a Bronze in the medley

 

[JP Sauce]

Almost swam out of our lane in the backstroke

 

[Jeremias]

Nowhere near it. Backstroke and breaststroke legs were terrible.

 

[danielnajdek]

Aussie men swim team is just terrible apart from Chalmers, Zac and Cam.

 

[Royces Hart]

Our guys need to get back to Stilnox and tipping pianos.

 

[Jeremias]

Reece Holder just finished 3rd in his heat in the 400m to progress to the next stage.

 

[Jeremias]

And now we have the last swimming event in Paris, women’s 4x100 medley relay.

McKeown, Strauch, McKeon and Mollie.

Hard to see the US being toppled given the team they’ve put out, but let’s see what the ladies can do.

 

[Jeremias]

Sensational final leg from Mollie. Silver for our girls.

 

[Fabab]

Mollie what a fantastic swim.

 

[JP Sauce]

Alright, high jump time and then I really need to get to sleep.

 

[Plugger35]

I'm clocking off too, I've watched enough Aussies tonight.

 

[myblueroan]

Eleanor over 1st jump.

 

[JP Sauce]

Olyslagers clears 1.91m and writes "too easy" in her notebook.

 

[myblueroan]

Both girls cleared 2nd height.

Mornin' Wick! ️
