It’s all up to Matty to get a Gold?!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Its all good we beat the Brits and that's all that really matters.

They will claim the moral win somehow

 

[Big Red Machine]

Damn we're 4th now. Fair effort but we were five or six gold clear in third a few nights ago

Japan snuck up on us like the proverbial librarian.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Is pepsi there tonight?

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Track cycling, nothing is certain.

Yeah. Tactics will be interesting. But I think the US rider is just too strong. She will probably have the petrol to cover anything that threatens her gold medal. She's too far ahead. Baker will need to be careful she doesn't burn herself early going for a lap.

Can still sneak 3rd if we win in the Men's Keiran and Japan doesn't win the women's wrestling

Great 2 Aussie Matty’s in the final, Goooooo Aussies!!!!!

NZ another gold, is this their best ever games?

2 chances to get in front still to go

Kiwi's TENTH gold medal. Incredible

You can really see the pre and post games ramp up and cool down with Great Britain.

2000= 11 Gold
2004= 9 Gold
2008= 19 Gold
2012 (London)= 29 Gold
2016= 27 Gold
2020= 22 Gold
2024= 14 Gold

So it would be great if we could get a similar ramp up.

Already was before this cycling gold

We have gone on a Silver Streak in the last 3 days

Would be interesting to see how many golds an Australasia team(ala 1908/1912) would get.

You think we would have a better chance in some team sports like Hockey to do something.

Probably couldn't catch China or US.

 

[eddiesmith]

A fair bit it seems. Great ride. She was a tad lucky at times but made the best of it. The Yank looks unstoppable for gold though.

This is where you need a teammate with no chance in the final race…

 

[AdelaideGT]

Anyone know where we were ranked heading into the Olympics?

3rd

We'd somehow still **** up the Rugby Sevens

 

[catstorm]

3rd

No way, we were predicted more like 5th-6th.

 

[The King!]

Cmon lads gold and silver please

 

[catstorm]

Last chance, can we beat the Dutch.

Come on boys.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Here we go!!!!

 

[Drummond]

Cmon boys!! Let’s end Paris on a high!

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Big chance with two riders. But still a lottery this race.
