Looks like we will need a serious investment of cash to get our rowing team up and going by Brisbane 2032. Gina?

 

[scoman]

Might want to consider rowing a bit faster boys.

Might need a second screen to spot the aussies

Any chance that 9 could show something live? Both girls in the 50 free already finished before they bother showing the events

Gold Medal Match on now.

I admire the skill involved, but table tennis points lasting about 2 seconds each really makes it tough to stick with.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

9-8 win over 9-time Olympic gold medalists Hungary in the water polo. Unbelievable!
