Well that WR lasted a long time

Has happened for many years in cycling when all the top teams get new gear (winged keel type gear I mean) and all bring it out in a Games/WC

I really did a wow reaction but they don’t work for me on the forum

Been a while since I saw a Melbourne win

I hadn't heard before but apparently she tore her calf muscle a fortnight ago

That’d explain it.

Heard Keegan Palmer in his interview, he doesn't sound Australian at all, more like a surfer from California.

At what point do they just give Wearn the gold?

Last scheduled day for the Sailing is tomorrow

After that it's up to World Sailing & co

Well he was born in the US and moved to Australia when he was younger.

Story is he was born in San Diego

Lived on the Gold Coast until he was 14 and moved back to Southern California

Does have dual citizenship but chose to compete for Australia because it was where he learned to skate

WTAF was that keirin ride from Moran.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Tom green through to the semifinal of the 1000m k1

Did it easily then did a very cruising hardly no paddling 30 or 40m.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

World records dropping like flies in the cycling.

FAST TRACK

WTAF was that keirin ride from Moran.

She's a team pursuiter. She's only riding the Keiren due to a technicality with Team Pursuit team entries. Deliberatley stayed out of trouble to avoid injury

Another Queenslander

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Sailing is scheduled, repeat scheduled to start at 10.10 EST but I think the women's dinghy goes first.

FAST TRACK

It is. Plus these guys are insanely good

It’s to qualify the team for the pursuit that’s it

The Fox sisters have killed it this Olympics but Min Woo and Minjee haven't exactly set the world on fire. To be fair early days for Minjee.

Fair enough.

I still reckon the Olympics should be match play over stroke play. Makes it more interesting.

Should be scramble - would be really exciting with mega low scores.

Aus hockey player arrested trying to buy coke for the post-Olympics bender. Not sure who it is yet.

Why would you do that when police are crawling around

An Australian hockey player has been arrested for allegedly trying to buy cocaine in Paris, the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has confirmed.

The player, 28-year-old Tom Craig, was taken into custody after French police alleged an Australian was attempting to obtain the drug in a trendy Paris neighbourhood known for its theatres and shopping.
