Matt Wearn you champion. A couple of friends met him in January when the dinghy/laser class world championship was held in Adelaide off West Beach.

Hope Larry Ellison of Oracle gives you a big pay day on his America's Cup boat crew, like Tom Slingsby got a few months after winning the gold in London and started the 4 in a row trot.

All these late night golds. Keep thinking "I'll go to bed after X..." but then we bloody win! So I'm pumped and now I've got to stay up and watch the next event.

It will probably take another 90 minutes.

And then Matt Denny will go for gold in the discus.

Good on ya. I went to 3 nights in Sydney. Saw Brad McGee win bronze on the last 100m. He was favourite to win but had a shocking road crash about 6 or 7 weeks before the Olympics.

Bloody enjoyable nights at the velodrome.

Mine will take about 30 seconds tonight, if I’m lucky.

 

[Visions]

What a great Pursuit to watch, was tight as right to the end, heart racing stuff.

The Brits were the hot favorites for this event coming into the Olympics yeah?

What happened to the British rider on that final lap? Looked like he slipped off his seat, or something broke or something? I missed the replay.

Watching it on a Eurosport feed with UK commentators. They were devastated after the race. Initially they said the seat broke, however have confirmed that it was rider error as he had slipped off the seat instead.

Was weird watching him in the crouch position riding to the end, not sure why he couldn't move his ass back up.

Women's pole vault and men's discuss. You never know!

are we still in it?

Double whammy

Crushed his nuts and lost a chance at Gold

 

[my name was taken]

No way I make it to the end !

What a cracker night though

 

[AdelaideGT]

Worst thing about Pole Vault on world-feed is that Kiwi woman on commentary. The Aussie (?) with her is not great either.

Truthfully?
Never quick.
May I suggest coffee?
Nina is an excellent chance with the British favorite having 3 fails at qualifying.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

You've hyped Denny so much that I'm not sure he can live up to the expectation lol

Bloke is gonna have to launch the discus into orbit.

 

[GreyCrow]

Stan stadium feed no commentators

So good

 

[AdelaideGT]

Woulda thought the American skateboarder might have learned the words to 'Advance Australia Fair' in the last 3 years..

 

[myblueroan]

Nina cleared 4:40 and now attempting 4:60

 

[GreyCrow]

The Swiss girl is clearing it easy

Mmm. Peaceful.
