C'wealth Birmingham 2022

[toxic]

Swimming broadcast keeps freezing and the commentary skips back about a minute or two.

Not for me

Was perfect

Mack v Witt final

 

[AdelaideGT]

Official Birmingham Games site is screwed up too - if you're trying to check results anyway..

Arnie is a machine. Looked effortless to punch out a 1:55.68

 

[AdelaideGT]

All those Aussie girls looked comfortable meaning that's probably three golds guaranteed (this event plus two relays).

Kyle looked impressive 50fly

 

[AdelaideGT]

Promising session of swimming. Our WC team looking to have maintained form while the ones who stayed away looking pretty fresh and fast.

So the female boxers have to wear helmets but the men don't. Do they have softer heads?

 

[kaiserchief13]

So channel 70 and 74 have the same thing on? Amateur channel 7 i don't want to watch netball

 

[AdelaideGT]

A couple of Aussie sweeps in the pool plus a bonus silver. Not a bad start.

Zac Stub so strong in final 50

Impossible - got up to watch some replays of the swimming finals on 7+ and the only one I could find was the mens 200m Breaststroke. Eventually I found where the other race replays were hidden away but they don't work This message comes up "well this is awkward We can't find what you're looking for...".

Like I assumed you would have to travel to mars to avoid seeing the swimming since we promote it so heavily. I was dreading having to dodge it to follow the 7 rugby etc. However the one time I actually decide to watch it I can't. Meanwhile you can get every 7s rugby game replay on the front page of the 7+ app.

Amazing.

Times in swimming just a little off the World Champs. Be interesting to see how things pan out.

Canadian girl Summer McIntosh going to push our Arnie in the 400. What a star.

McIntosh miles in front in the medley. Amazing for her age

Of the 5 finals last night 2 events were faster than the WC winning time (W200Free & W400IM) and the other 3 were won by the actual World Champs (M400Free, M200Breast & MX4x100 relay).

Reclarify - won by current WC's with times a little off the WC winning times.......

Legitimately do not know a single soul who cares about the Commonwealth Games. We are the definition of flat track bullies.

You probably need to know some US souls and you can talk to them about the Pan-Am Games.

And also we are not that great in flat track events...........

The cycling uniforms are atrocious. Who on earth thinks putting a black piece of material between their legs is a good look?

Black is just fine 'downunder' on an Aussie strip, but not if they seemingly designed it as a map of Tasmania.

Adams sprints back to the front of the marathon so he can start doing his look back 'why aren't u leading?' stare - very strange tactics...

He gonna need physio for his neck tomorrow..

Aussies did well to beat Kenya in the Mens Rugby 7's

 

[freddy mercury]

When do the Chinese and Americans start?

Cos Kenya is a world powerhouse in rugby????

Bad luck to Liam Adams nearly beating an actual world powerhouse (Kenyan marathon runner) for bronze - a more balanced first half of that race might have gotten you there but gutsy run mate.

 

[AdelaideGT]

When do the Chinese and Americans start?

After Nancy Pelosi arrives in Taiwan I think. Hang on to your seat for that extravaganza matey...

no, not really... but 7's is a strange version of Rugby that suits burst sprinters and people who are quick with a sidestep while running fast... being behind by a non-converted-try with one player off the field with a sin-bin made it even more difficult and they got a converted-try and held onto that lead well in the fading 3 minutes or so.
