How’s that Cuban wrestler won his event for the 5th Olympics in a row.
Never been done before.

This is what good organisations do when you under preform, something the Crows could learn a lot from.

I can't believe the people acting like Serbia are so much better than us, Sure Jokic is a star but besides a couple of others we had the superior team.

Poor selections - No Thybulle and a Cooked Delly really cost us along with poor coaching

Bronze in the race "walking" mixed relay

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No one has mentioned Arisa Trew. 14 years old. There was also a 13yo in the event. Skateboarding is so spectacular.

13 year old Finn came 5th & she lives in Australia & trains with Arisa. She now has dual citizenship & Australia are keen for her to represent us.

 

[jbanger]

Pretty cool to win a skateboarding gold medal in front of the great man!

Christian Hosoi in the crowd too.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Australia leading Serbia in the women's basketball at the moment Let's hope they don't fall into a hole like the men's team.

Jokic is the best player in the world and Bogdanovich is miles better than any of our players. We have no genuine stars and it showed.

We have no real size and it showed

Jokic not going to dispute his greatness but to say Bogdanovich is miles better than anyone we have is ludicrous Giddey is a far superior player and our depth is definitely better

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

No choke from the Opals, a comfortable win against Serbia and now have a shot at a bronze*.

*Obviously assuming they don't get past the US in the semis.

Is there an age limit? Or is it just, if you're good enough you can skate?

Maybe 10? 15 year old silver medalist was also silver medalist at Tokyo when she was 12 lol.

Never been done before.

Keeps getting bigger and older (2 wins in 120, 2 wins in 130, this one in 140) and still too good.

Apparently this is the first time he's competed since the last Olympics lol.

No age limit that I'm aware of.

Our youngest Gold medallist since 1956 Olympics apparently.

Ever, 1956 was the previous record.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah, that's what I meant to say.

Thanks for clarification.

We're catching up to the Chinese for second position on gold. 8 to go

 

[cmndstab]

Keegan Palmer with the gold medal already locked away in skateboarding before he had even started his final run!

Back to back gold medals for him after winning in Tokyo too. And we also won gold in the women's skateboarding. I wouldn't have expected Australia to be such a skateboarding powerhouse.

Australia in third place overall, up to 16 gold medals now, three ahead of France in fourth place. Our best ever return is 17 golds (2004, 2020), hopefully we can beat that!

 

[Interceptor]

Another gold in the cycling team pursuit event.
Beat team GB.

 

[Crow54]

Wow, what a day (night)! I was wondering if we’d manage to get to 17!

With possibly more to come.

The good thing is it spread across a number of sports, no longer reliant on swimming to do all the heavy lifting.

Swimming, surfing, sailing, cycling (road and track), BMX, canoeing, athletics, tennis.

Better ramp up emergency departments with skateboarding going to be the next big participation sport.

The good thing is might stimulate interest and participation in all sports with the Brisbane Olympics in 8 years.

Jokic isn't just a star. He's the best player in the World. Then you add in at least two others that are better NBA players than our best player. They are a much better team than ours.

Thanks Crow54 . Man with a join date of 2000 you must literally be one of the earliest pioneers on this site. Always thought Kane McGoodwin was perhaps our boards first joined (and still remaining) but you are even earlier!
