[Plugger35]

Stewart McSweyn up now in the 5000m

He's leading.

With only about 4900m to go.

 

[Xtreme]

Considering where they've been for the last 20 years, Silver is a fantastic achievement. Nothing to be ashamed of here.

Psssh I propose both men's and ladies water polo teams swim laps in the Seine and then from.Monday get back in the pool and train for 2028!!

 

[catstorm]

Little out of the Javelin, didn’t even give a wimper.

 

[juice t]

Should strip her of her medical license after that

 

[Wickzki]

C'mon Jess. Give it your all.

 

[GreyCrow]

Jess well placed

 

[GreyCrow]

Silver Jess

 

[catstorm]

Silver was good well done

 

[juice t]

Nailed the tactics

 

[largebus]

Brilliant race, well done Jess
Thought she boxed herself in with 300 to go but she had the speed to get out of it. Well done

 

[GreyCrow]

Well done Jess

Only a legend beat you home

 

[Wickzki]

Beautiful Jess. Well done! Silver to an unbeatable champion is epic.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Onya Jess!

Can’t think of a time I watched an Aussie medal in a middle distance track event.

 

[danielnajdek]

Was nice to see the 2 ladies happy for Jess.

 

[pepsi]

AMAZING JESS! what a bloody result. Incredible.

 

[largebus]

On a darker note, Little bombing out of the javelin is one of the more disappointing performances by an Aussie at this Olympics. Ranked 2 in the world, set a PB a few weeks ago and doesn't fire a shot.

But that's a legit amazing performance from Hull, left it all out there.

 

[largebus]

Other than the Men's Keirin, hard to see us winning any more medals

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Jess Hull .. silver ... superb effort

Ran into her a few months back at a Diamond League and she is super nice ... gave time to my daughters

Just brilliant

 

[juice t]

Other than the Men's Keirin, hard to see us winning any more medals

Richo in the Keirin

And after that it's all done and dusted

 

[sabso]

Brits love a bronze

 

[GreyCrow]

He's leading.

With only about 4900m to go.

He looked stiff right from the start

Happy for Ingebritsen. Saw his stats about 2 years ago chasing junior age records and was blown away

 

[juice t]

Also Hull brings up 50 medals for Australia in Paris

 

[Teen Wolf]

Other than the Men's Keirin, hard to see us winning any more medals

Richo in the Keirin

And after that it's all done and dusted

Opals should be beating Belgium for bronze.

 

[catstorm]

Seems we have hit the silver portion of our Paris journey.

6 Silvers since our last Gold.

Meanwhile New Zealand has been killing it late. They have picked up 5 golds in the last three days and are currently leading the high jump to make it 6.

 

[largebus]

Kathryn Mitchell setting a season's best to finish 7th or 8th in the javelin. Can't do much more.
Little's performance though, gee whiz

Looks like Japan will creep closer on the table unless the South African can pull one out.

Another gold for NZ
