[Clubs are trumps]

Cmon Smith!

Go Brendon

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Smith needs to be within 0.5 to 0.6 behind with freestyle leg to go, to get up

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Cant win but will have to have a big 100m free to medal.

 

[GreyCrow]

Basil ' I think we're looking at a medal for Australia ' Smith sitting 7th

Basil gets there

 

[Tadpole]

Bronze medal.

 

[Tadpole]

Massive last 50m.

 

[Clubs are trumps]

Well done mate. Bronze after turning 7th is a huge comeback.

 

[DIG]

Good job son.

 

[Barrybran]

That's a fantastic final 50 by Smith

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Breast stroke leg was horrific but fair effort overall.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Just got there. Well done joins Rob Woodhouse as only medley male swimmer to medal.

 

[catstorm]

Good last 100 least he got a bronze

If you can't breaststroke you can't I.M

 

[gbear]

Bronze for Smith, phenomenal effort when he was 7th.

 

[Tadpole]

Breaststroke leg nearly killed his chances entirely.

 

[Forward Press]

Bronze for Smith! Didn't see that coming.

But American 1-2...

I don’t profess to be a swimming expert. But do we always seem to suck at the breaststroke leg of IMs?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Another Aussie going faster in heats/semis than the final and missing a gold. Been that way the last 3 maybe 4 Olympics.

 

[DIG]

Sure his heat time would have won, but I used to swim competitively and always found I swam slower in the mornings than evenings, I’m sure he wasn’t alone.

 

[scoman]

Let's face it, we have underperformed the past couple Olympics. Aussies need to be doing personal bests to be certain of Olympic golds.

Exactly

He wasn’t even considered a medal chance before the games so how is this a choke?

Yep I've often been told that the I.M is always won and lost on the breastroke leg.
