YES! Great leg by McKeon, that was the one that got it

 

[sameolds33]

GOLD! Amazing effort by the Aussie girls in the 4x 100 relay. WR swim.

 

[boncer34]

We got one!

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Emma McKeon looks so fit. Was a little bit worried by her butterfly semi but she was obviously saving herself for the real stuff.
How many medals can she win?
4x100
100 butterfly
4x100 medley relay

Anything else? Is she in the 100 & 50m races?

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Backstroke as well, maybe IM?

Didn't she pull out from the IM

 

[eth-dog]

I know she pulled out of something, just can't remember what haha

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Didn't she pull out from the IM

I know she pulled out of something, just can't remember what haha

I think that was Kaylee McKeon
It clashed with the 100/200 backstroke.

Bronze for Smith. Brutal from Thorpe though.

Thing is...just to make an Olympics is an amazing achievement that gives you a story to tell for the rest of your life. Went to an event where a guy who competed at ‘56 Olympics had everyone listening to his tales from back then and all he had to show was his team tracksuit but we all loved it, the kids all went outside and started races. Bronze medal is a great souvenir to bring home. I think overall the commentators are being really careful what they say after the shit they have copped in the past for saying stuff like “only a bronze medal”. Leisel Jones has been really positive about what a good effort it is for many of them to make the Olympics (nice to see someone with empathy for the athletes)

Agree, particularly these Covid-affected Olympics. What I like seeing, almost as much as Aussie athletes succeeding, is athletes of unexpected countries winning - like the Moroccan swimmer in the 400m free and the winner of the road race yesterday. Sporting endeavour is as important as medals at these games.

All the female expert commentators I've heard so far at these games have been impressive - Leisel Jones, Georgie Parker in the hockey, Anna Meares at the cycling. So far, so good.

Love it when someone from a small country wins a medal. Up against the big countries who spend millions on sporting programs. When that big guy from Tonga won their first ever medal in the heavyweight boxing a few years back it was so good.

Who won the road race yesterday??

Richard Carapaz wins Olympic gold in men's road race

The Ecuadorian soloed to the line after a late attack, collecting his country's first ever cycling gold medal.

Richard Fox is a great commentator.

Richard Fox is a great commentator.

yes, don't know that I'd be that calm and measured commentating on my own off spring's performance on the biggest stage.

Yeah even before Jess went down. Just explained everything simply without any bullshit.

 

[tandino]

Great for the Boomers to get the win, and to get through a game without calling the other side ******s, or so the story goes.

 

[boncer34]

I do enjoy the 2 or 3 person heats

Found this on the generic olympics website (not the Australian one);

Australia - National Olympic Committee (NOC)

Official photos, videos, athletes and medals from all Olympic Games ever held in Australia. Sydney 2000, Melbourne / Stockholm 1956.

olympics.com

Has all of the events with Aussies in them all listed with exact times. You can also click into each sport/event for live scores, qualifying result sheets and all of that sort of thing.

Can even filter it by sport so all of the swimming with Aussies comes up or whatever.
