dog shot

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Wow that crash was huge!

 

[juice t]

That was like a motorcycle high side

 

[Plugger35]

Some carnage on the track now.

It could be the last one still on their bike that wins.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Italy are out!

 

[largebus]

The Brits have been quite literally bashed in the velodrome this week

Hard to replace riders of the calibre of the Kennys and Chris Hoy.
We had our golden gen in 2004 and we've never come close to replicating it

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Hopefully the Aussies try to take a lap soon. Otherwise it’s just a participation event for them

 

[Plugger35]

Now it seems to be Portugal in front now, NZ back to 5th who were in front.

 

[Plugger35]

Australia seem to be in trouble but they could end up winning it with how this race is going, they might do a Bradbury.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Entertainment event.

Aussies dropped laps in the end? Don’t have the legs

 

[Wickzki]

I'll have some Nandos to celebrate their victory. Well done Portugal

Fun race.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Athletics up now.

 

[Eraser]

What a dogshit event. Why is there no track cycling race that’s just ‘The fastest cyclist wins’?

 

[largebus]

Entertainment event.

Aussies dropped laps in the end? Don’t have the legs

They were part of the team pursuit gold so this was just a victory lap for them. Weren't expected to contend at all

 

[Plugger35]

From nowhere Portugal win the gold.

I told you it would be a team that the commentators didn't mention for most of the race until the last few laps.

They were talking up a lot of other teams earlier on but Portugal weren't mentioned once, the commentators have no clue either.

 

[Plugger35]

The USA have beaten Brazil in the wonen's football final but I guess no one cares about that with the Matildas not involved.

 

[danielnajdek]

Breakdancing is so stupid in the Olympics.

They'll probably still get another Gold if Finucane holds her form in the Sprint

But the world has caught up to them

 

[Plugger35]

Eddie talking to the Stingers.

He went with "tell me about it".

Not the "take me through it" or "talk me through it".

Like Roy and HG said all the Ch9 commentators say.

He's gone off script.

 

[largebus]

They'll probably still get another Gold if Finucane holds her form in the Sprint

But the world has caught up to them

Aforementioned generational talents retiring + also the small matter of a their team doctor Richard "Stephen Dank" Freeman getting banned for 4 years, while destroying a laptop that contained all the riders medical records before it could be investigated

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

2 Aussie girls in javelin final on now.

 

[catstorm]

So which is the Aussie that was supposed to be a shot in the Javelin, cause they were both way off.

 

[GreyCrow]

C'mon Jess

 

[GreyCrow]

C'mon Jess

30 minutes early

 

[GreyCrow]

Stewart McSweyn up now in the 5000m
