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

[Drummond]

Linden was NEVER likely to beat the top 4. She had to try something to try to run the legs off her opposition for the final two spots. Sadly it wasn't to be.

She doesn't have the greatest kick against top-level runners.

I feel like running the legs off the opposition never works.

 

[myblueroan]

Oh wow!
Oceania McKenzie killling it in the boulder comp!

 

[AdelaideGT]

Good by Jess but did ch 9 just choose some Dutch equestrian rider and diving over Hull?

They will show them on 9 after the news - after some fluff and carrying on - and pretend they are live.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Aussie killing it in the bouldering.

 

[Royces Hart]

McKenzie in the lead in our traditional Aussie sport of bouldering.

 

[myblueroan]

Are you able to see the bouldering on 9?
Cos Oceania is incredible!
Taken the lead with 1 more challenge to go.

Very very likely for medal round.

 

[catstorm]

damn, she just couldn't do that one.

 

[gbear]

Kurtis Matthew’s makes it to the semis in the 3M springboard.
Qualified 8th overall.

 

[moistie]

Jeez, the director at the bouldering hated Oceana McKenzie. They barely showed her, even when she was killing it, but was happy to show other climbers clapping and waving to the crowd.

 

[Drummond]

Okay I’m excited after watching that men’s K2 heat. Our boys looked great, and I hear they’re trained by Olympic gold medalist and 3x Olympian Ken Wallace. I am daring to dream.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Look at them go

The Australians were the Olympic champions in this event in Tokyo except then it was the k2 1000m
They had a bad last world champs finishing 4th.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Was a promising paddle.

 

[juice t]

No surprise to see Australia perform reasonably well in Boulder given we have a town called Boulder

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That sport just looks a how to pull an abductor lol

 

[AdelaideGT]

'pull an abduction'? or 'pull an adductor'??

 

[LukeParkerno1]

'pull an abduction'? or 'pull an adductor'??

My groin hurts just thinking about how bad it would be lol

 

[dogs105]

'pull an abduction'? or 'pull an adductor'??

Could easily pull an adductor or abductor doing that.

From another AOC tweet which Sailing Oz retweeted

Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Matt Wearn has secured either a gold or silver medal heading into today's medal race!

Will be stuck to the back of the Cyprus boat like the proverbial barnacle.

Yeah has to stay within 7 places of him.

 

[largebus]

He had two 10th places on Sunday because he got stuck in traffic rounding the first mark.
Today he only has to contend with 9 other boats not 40+

 

[fuic08]

Aus just got the Olympics record in the kayak 500m

 

[AdelaideGT]

The Fox interview was fun I suppose but in 10 minutes, maybe those 9 'journalists' could've asked a serious question or two..

"What are your plans now Jess? Are you considering sticking around until LA?"

"What's next for you Noemie? How will it feel in your next competition to be introduced as Olympic Champion?"

 

[myblueroan]

Aus just got the Olympics record in the kayak 500m

Just watched.
So impressive!
