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

gonna have to launch the discus into orbit

lol - over 70m will do me for a start

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The South African caller and ex Aussie female cyclist, who I don't know who it is, got excited in the call but not as much as Scott McGory and Kate bates.

Oz was 0.168 up at the 3750m mark so who knows what the margin would have been if they didn't have an incident.

They didn't ride as fast as last night's WR which was a 3:40.730 - tonight was 3:42.067. Brits last night did a 3:42.151.

Times don't matter come the final but that WR probably took a bit out of them with such a short rest.

 

[Fire]

are we actually going to finish third?

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Good night and good luck to all remaining Aussies going for Gold today!! Unfortunately I have to go to sleep gotta travel tomorrow,

Stan stadium feed no commentators

So good

Oops was a replay of qualifying

 

[myblueroan]

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

He looked proud enough.

 

[myblueroan]

Glorious by Nina!

Sailed over like Wearn with a good breeze.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

How long does a pole vault final take?

I don't want to go to bed

3 to 4 hours.

 

[myblueroan]

Competitiors crashing out everywhere

The multiple attempts are what take the time between heights. And there have been lots of misses.

Struggle with that unknown aussie caller. Have developed a love hate relationship with her. She is definitely unique in style.

God don't tell me the pole vault will be delayed a couple of days due to bad weather!

 

[AdelaideGT]

Unlikely - some other countries are gonna come over the top of us.


So to speak...

 

[myblueroan]

You W.A lot aren't doing it hard core like us east siders. It"s now 3.07.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Girls Team Pursuit finished 7th in their classification ride against Canada.

USA v New Zealand is the gold medal race.

That was and epic saga.

Viking worthy!

So good

I watched the Team Pursuit on mute because I was a tad nervous and often mute the footy commentary for extended periods of time. If Seven/Foxtel want to get in the good books of the public, a crowd only option would win infinite amounts of gratitude.

 

[GreyCrow]

All good - phone is hard to read

I'm live with no commentary

 

[myblueroan]

All these misses are good for Nina cos countback

 

[myblueroan]

Plenty of time and opportunity to hear 9's commentary ad nauseaum no doubt over next few days.

I'll be fine thanks

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Would prefer nine's cycling commentary over the world feed on Stan tbh.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

**** Sharks were up 2-1 against USA with 20 seconds to go in first quarter. Then they bang blast a shot.

Hang on goal review,

Sasha Zhoya, pretend Frenchman, actual West Australian in the 110m hurdles semis

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Yank has punched the Aussie before the shot.
