I miss HG & Roy commentating at the Olympics

Tubby Taylor has no idea what he is doing as a diving commentator.

Leon Sejranovic is an outside medal chance, he's got the weak side of the draw (and has beaten his potential higher ranked opponents on that side too).

Didn't Pavlich commentate the equestrian? I imagine that would've been similar to this.

Add Rosseau to that too for the men's platform.

Just found out one of my son's school mates is sailing in the mixed dinghy event. He did miss a lot of school etc and rolled the dice for his sport, so am glad he has at least qualified

OMG how did I miss this?!

 

[Plugger35]

Back to the skateboarding now, this is more exciting than the sailing.

I miss HG & Roy commentating at the Olympics

They have an hour long show at 11am on ABC radio and you can listen to it online as well.

Roy and HG - Bludging on the Blindside with Rampaging Roy Slaven and HG Nelson - ABC listen

The master of midfield mayhem Rampaging Roy Slaven and the leading light of long shots HG Nelson cast a collective eye over the world of sport.

17 gold medals is Australia's record

The most respected predictors said we would win 15 Gold in Paris.

Well - we've already done that and - even tonight we have:

• Defending Champ in the Skate
• Current World Pole Vault Champ
• Hottest Discus thrower in the world

And some others - like Dr Mackenzie Little & Jess Hull still to come.

Plus other sports.

I’m just enjoying some weightlifting before the skateboard final is on

 

[my name was taken]

Thankfully came on here just now, assumed skateboarding was tmr night when the crowd got up and left after the heats, just hanging out for the team pursuit please don't fall asleep again

 

[2 eazy]

Didn't we have someone break OR in sprint canoe

 

[AdelaideGT]

Get your skateboarding lingo down pat before the Men's Street final.

There he goes - an amazing chewy - OMG now a 360 fart and he lands a roller-side line. Can he stick the Buggle-Oh-No-Go?

Yes he can!!!

And now the Triple-A-Freddo-Frog which I first did in the 2019 X-Games. I reckon it's Gold for Austraya.


ME: Dude - WTF are u talkin bout?

 

[Underarm]

Didn't Pavlich commentate the equestrian? I imagine that would've been similar to this.

He was basically boundary rider. They had actual commentators for the important stuff.

 

[Moonwatcher]

15 golds makes it the 4th most successful games in terms of gold medals so far.

 

[JP Sauce]

2 wheels and 4 wheels events up now!

 

[Cyber_punk]

BBC sport feed is worth it for the likes/dislikes when an Aussie wins gold
And LOL at Beckett who got 3 penalty turns
View attachment 2071757

What is the likelihood we finish above the brits by the end? 3 days left and we are 3 gold in front.

All those forces combined and we are still cucking them

Women's beach volleyball a genuine chance too. Will be underdogs but won Silver in Tokyo.

 

[Plugger35]

A few early stacks in the skateboarding final.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Cmon other countries keep stacking…
