Guessing he still thinks that NSW is gold standard and got this all under control

Not an Aussie involved, but this interview between the BBC and Ruby Tui from NZ after the rugby 7s yesterday is great

I like her.

WTF

Wow, they get some decent height on the trampolines in the Olympics...

Caught the end of the mens and while I have absolutely no idea how they score the Belarussian guy that went last nearly fell off the edge of the trampoline but still won with the commentators shocked he beat the Chinese guy for gold.

Sports with subjective scoring are ripe for corruption.

Congrats to Ash & John - maybe not the way they were hoping it would go, but good things come to good people

Edit: I'm not a fan of Djokovic and happy to see that he lost the bronze medal play match in the mens singles. But in this case I feel sorry for Nina that she didn't even get the opportunity to play off for the medal

Who would have thunk it - peeps do want to watch women's sports when it's actually made easily available to watch

What happened to squash? It was a huge thing back in the day...on TV, courts all over the place, school sports...so many movies that had scenes set with two guys playing while talking about girls...then...

Just gone.

Nothing.

Jamaican women don’t seem too friendly with each other...

That was hilarious, no podium sharing will be going on there!

This BMX freestyle is awesome to watch.

It was clear that 2 got along (silver & bronze) but they had no time for the gold medalist - curious to see how things to in the relay and if they use their 4th runner to keep those 3 separate

We looked a bit safe in our ride

The Brit was crazy

He pulled out of the mixed doubles with a shoulder injury apparently. I wonder if that is when he injured it...

It's a shame it's not like the qualifying where they're scored on an average of the two runs, otherwise the Aussie will still be in medal contention with two runs over 80 points.

If Emma McKeon was a country, she'd be sitting in 18th on the medal tally
