Does anyone know what the Brits, French and Japanese have left? Will 18 be enough?

Disappointing that Jessica Hull didn't do a "Thanks Chompers' after her interview with Tony Jones like Nina Kennedy did.

The Japanese will probably take 3rd

They’ve got something like 3 more Gold finals in Wrestling (Having won 5 already)

Could do to the wrestling what China does to diving

Do any of you lot sleep?! I couldn't do it lol....

 

[por_please_ya]

Japan didn't even get a medal in the Breaking but currently tied with us on Gold.



Lol I might watch the gold winning performance and see if it's any good

 

[por_please_ya]

Nice seeing countries like Uzbekistan getting a few Golds in Boxing.

 

[two blue tiger]

Pom doing world feed of Hull's race mentioned her name about once in the whole event........

 

[Cmarsh]

Raygun has had all the attention but for anyone who didn't see it here is Australia's male breaking entrant 16yo Jeff Dunne "J Attack" during one of his performances.

With how well NZ is doing, Australia can't even claim the golds per capita lead anymore.

 

[apollo_creed]

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

Fun race.

What part of Nandos is Portugese?

Golds/medals per capita is so misleading. There are so many more important factors that go into winning medals.

yep. We’re flexing about per capita when alot of the countries competing are much poorer than us and invest **** all in olympic sports.

We couldn't anyway with Dominica winning a gold medal with a population of just 70k

The late great John Clarke said that among the first words a New Zealander learns is “per capita”.
They always win “the per capita Olympics”.

You big meanies.

Not all medals are equal. There are sports in the olympics that have a far higher global participation rate than others due to resources and accessability to participate in those sports.
It's the sports that have a higher global participation rate where it is really more of an achievement to win at than others.

Don't think GB or France can overtake us. Could be wrong. GB might have some track chances, but won't be enough.

But Japan are 6-1 in wrestling finals and have 2 more to come. Even an Aussie miracle in the keirin might not be enough. Actually, I think keirin is big in Japan, so they might even be an outside chance there.

The last wrestling match is USA v Japan and could decide top spot. China in women's weightlifting is as certain as women's basketball for USA. Leaving USA needing to win women's volleyball or that wrestling match to come first.

What part of Nandos is Portugese?

The theme of the food.

To put it into AFL parlance, it's the vibe.

Setting goals should be based on the personell you have in your team at the time. In other words, it's to early too tell regarding realistic expectations.

 

[basashi]

Except she wasn't selected, she won qualification.

So the question you need to ask is why these better breakers or whatever they are called decided to pass on the competition to go to the Olympics.

But I digress we don't need to do shit about breaking qualification, this will never be in the Olympics again.

I don't care how she did it. You have a sporting body and you have an olympics coming up. You do what you gotta do to get the best talent. If the result of the investigation is "hey, the qualifying process was designed by a moron." then so be it. Thats one of the possible outcomes.

Anna Meares defending Rachel is understandable but calling it misogyny is weak.

Male or female, that athlete would have been slammed for that "performance".

We have increased in funding by federal level and Rinehart constitution. That's main successes come from

 

[Scorpus]

Is it really online "trolling" if the Olympic judges also found the performance worthy of a 0 score?

Yeah ok that’s not how these things work.

Be no different to the AFL season finishing and the league going well yes Freo finished 6th but they are an embarrassment to the AFL so we are going to replace them in the finals with Collingwood because reasons.

You don’t get to set up a qualification process and then change it retrospectively because someone you don’t like wins.

She competed she won, get over it and move on.
