YESSSSSS EMMA!!!!!!

That was close phew!!

She won by a fair bit in the end.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The WR will go soon in that event

Would've liked Kromowidjojo to have snatched a medal.

It must have been the camera angle but the margin looked closer than 0.26

Slowish reaction time too, reckon she breaks the world record with a better start

 

[Donakebab]

I was over on the BMX and got the last 10m.

 

[Bungeye]

Perhaps they should grow mullets. Working for the track athletes

I feel terribly for the people who can't grow a mullett...

 

[Gigantic]

That was an impressive finish from Emma, completely broke away from the others

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Unbelievable. What a champion!

 

[Forward Press]

Gold in every day of the pool. Is that a first?

 

[Pistol Night]

Should be classed as a disability

The stretch on the wall was magnificent

Nah Cate was slowest. Emma just had to get the first 15m under water stuff right.

 

[theyellowsash]

Dressel and mckeon just broke more olympic records. Gotta be doping, test them now.

Thats how it goes right?

 

[Satan]

 

[Seeds]

I'd actually put in Molly instead of Cate.
come at me...

It will be campbells last ever Olympic swim. They Arent not going to give it to her given she got bronze in the event.

 

[Trojan90]

Let's go Ukraine!

Was talking ‘slowish’ when compared to what Sjöström does regularly/done on the World Record time

Give it up. They didn’t break pbs by massive margins and do it along with 3 other teammates all at the same time

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

More like Emma McKe-Ten?

 

[theyellowsash]

Give it up. They didn’t break pbs by massive margins and do it along with 3 other teammates all at the same time

You mean they don't have slitty eyes

Surely Finke crushes this?

Well given there are 8 days and our best ever was 7 golds back in athens then yep I would say so.


edit - correction we did 8 gold in Melbourne but probably not 1 a day.

Australia has just equaled its best ever olympics in the pool, which was Melbourne in 1956.
