So Matt Wearn just has to finish the race today to get his gold. Logan Martin another possible in the BMX. Could be another good day for us.

I keep hearing Australian commentators comparing the performances of the Australian swimmers at the Tokyo Olympics compared to Australia's swimmers at the Melbourne Olympics . In Melbourne there were only 6 events plus one relay for men, and 5 individual events and one relay for women ( a total of 13 events ) . Australia won 6 gold and both relays plus 4 silver and 2 bronze of those 13 events.
In Tokyo there have been 28 individual events plus 7 relays, to compare Australian swimmers in Tokyo to those in Melbourne is a travesty.

Million dollar houses now in bogan territory. So it isn't really that anymore. As as Jess Fox is also from this territory and is very articulate and intelligent its like saying colonials when talking about Australian horses. So maybe less bogan and more trying our best for our families form every part of Australia - Just like you.

Thorpie just raised something that worried me in that medly race. I yelled out "I think Cate broke, going off..." and worried all the way until the result was verified.
0.04 was her changeover split...I reckon that means a toenail was the only thing on the block when Emma touched in. Heart-failure stuff. (Cate has just admitted she thought she broke, too...and was relieved when they weren't disqualified...) |

1+1 I counted that 20 countries competed in swimming in Melbourne, although I am not sure how many competed in all events, how many countries competed in swimming in Tokyo ? It is of interest that African nations are very competitive on the track and have limited impact in track events and are rarely sighted in swimming and many other sports. Most likely due to lack of coaches and infrastructure in home countries where sport takes a back seat when food on the table takes precedence.

And that's exactly what it is Bob , lack of infrastructure and coaches , running , they can run anywhere there's a road or a hill , football takes precedence more than any other sport in the poorer countries , build an oval and away they go , any good they head to Europe or snapped up in U.K. , the amount of se- retired top footballers sending money home for charity and other reasons is fairly common , the militant situation there now has made surviving the main priority , the Olympics is but a dream for most .

Matt Wearn confirms his sailing gold and that makes it 14 for Australia. And 4 in a single day which is the best ever.

So you're allowed to anticipate in swimming, knowing that your reaction time will probably save you from a false start. Can't do that in track events. Under 1/10th of a second is a false start.

Suggest Tennis would be similar Bob. We had a golden era back then with our players. Different ball game these days though - lot more countries play serious tennis.

All the riders on our Australian #Tokyo2020 Eventing Team rode amazingly and made it home today! Team Aussie is currently sitting on a total of 96.20 and is in 2nd place on the leaderboard as we head into tomorrow's show jumping phase. Andrew Hoy on Vassily de Lassos finished clear and under time, to stay on his dressage score of 29.60. Andrew is currently in 7th place individually. Shane Rose aboard Virgil was also one of just a handful of combinations to finish clear and under time and remain on his dressage score of 31.70. Shane is very close to Andrew and currently in 9th place individually. Keven McNab riding Don Quidam rounded out our amazing team with just a handful of time penalties (2.80) added to his 32.10 dressage score, seeing him sitting in 15th place individually. What outstanding efforts from all three horse & rider combinations - well done!! |
