why oh why did I drive my son to swim training at 5am instead of dropping him off at the skate park?!?

Awkward when they interview Keegan and he sounds as American as Tony Hawk and Snoop Dogg.

 

[FreoGirl]

How many AUS gold medal winners with a US accent have beaten a US athlete with an Aussie accent?

could you please research that? lol

 

[JP Sauce]

why does Keegan have a US accent??

Was born in the US, moved here when he was 1 and went back to the US in his teens to pursue the skating career.

 

[2 eazy]

Was that Devin Booker and Trevor Lawrence shaking Keegan hand

 

[juice t]

I would point out that even with that accent Keegan Palmer is officially more of an Australian than Russell Crowe ever will be

 

[juice t]

Also Men's Team Pursuit Gold race in 10 minutes

 

[revo333]

Australia has 17 gold medals twice in its history. We have 16 now.

With more events than other Olympics, someone should do a % of how many Golds won per event.

Or Ben Simmons, Kyrie Irving, Greg Norman...

It happens more often than you realize with people who relocate and live there for a few years. You end up talking like them, and pronouncing everything the same way they do. You don't even do it on purpose, it just happens.

I've been to the US about 15 times - was worried my son would pick it up, but thankfully didn't

 

[Hawksboy72]

16 gold and outright 3rd on the table.

All but secured the double chance now

Pick 3 as compo to the Americans, pick 4 to the Poms

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully the Australia v Great Britain final is a better contest than the Italy v Demark final.

I lived there for about a year and started to pronounce words the same as them just to make it easier for them to understand.

Or Ben Simmons, Kyrie Irving, Greg Norman...

Ben and Greg most definitely have Australian citizenship

As does Keegan

 

[FreoGirl]

yes, that's exactly how is happens - I could not get any of them to understand me when I said I was "looking for the ice skating rink"

 

[FreoGirl]

I have both going at the same time haha

[GreyCrow]

This takes me back to the time Australia ruled the velodrome
