Wow first swimming gold since 48? Nice one.

Anyone left in the sailing to make up for our once again underwhelming swimmers?

 

[The_Todd07]

And shes smoking hot

Damn straight
Although it would be a shock if a Peurto Rican wasnt gorgeous

 

[The King!]

Kieran Perkins birthday so fitting

Campbell sisters choke it again and dont medal - and again Channel 7 is made to look stupid, especially Rooney.

Overhyped

Awful commentary, you wouldn't even know anyone else was in the race other than the Aussies .

Has anyone other than Hawthorn ever taken these and actually got better at their respective sports?

 

[Darksidepoints]

Its an event they 'dominate' guys. If shes anywhere near her best, she'll win! Sit back and relax, watch the Campbell show!

Basil running through every Australian to ever swim 1500

$40 million bucks apparently on the swim team the tax payers have spend since London.

Let that sink in.

Long jump what a finish, WOW.

Pretty good on officials spotting the hand!

Imagine how they would of performed otherwise

 

[rideclutch]

I know nothing about swimming, but the winner hardly used his legs at all! They were just floating around behind him.

Is that some kinda long-distance technique?

 

[Darksidepoints]

"A little bit disappointing"

 

[Carl Hooper]

Im sick of the swimming

 

[GreyCrow]

Florence Junkie Joyners times still stand

 

[rideclutch]

The difference between Bruce's race calling and Basil's is probably greater than the one between Phelps and Eric the Eel.

Can all of our athletes just stay away from Swisse sponsorship FFS! Punter got on board then turned to shit and retired soon after, Mitch Johnson had a massive slump after appearing in ads, and now the Campbell sisters have gone from heroes to zeros. I'm sure there's more that don't spring to mind because their careers were ruined so much by this cancerous company that they have faded into obscurity.


IT'S ALL SWISSE'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Darksidepoints]

Okay, that was pretty good comeback then by Campbell.

 

[Biggie]
