Let's go Australia, Olympics thread

[hey shorty]

Kim Brennan to carry the flag.

And this statement right here is why the world is turning to shit.

Yea, a guy having a massive night, not hurting anyone, is why the world is going to shit.

Over the Olympics now. Bring on Zumbo's desserts. The next big thing on TV

And this statement right here is why the world is turning to shit.

The funny thing is, this statement right here is more like why the world is turning to shit.

At least we get Talking Footy back tonight.

No... a guy defending a guy out on a bender. No harm done, right? Only the idiot got robbed. Lucky he didn't get killed. Being so drunk you have no control over your faculties is nothing to a) be proud of or b) cheer for.

Lovey... that means very little coming from someone with a name like you've chosen.

Yeah but campaignererfield is on the panel.

Unfortunately, I think Australia will do worse at this Olympics than what we did in London. Seems lot of the Aussies are more interested in looking good for Instagram than about concentrating on competing.

Told you

Finished 8th in London with 35 medals. In Rio, we just finished 10th with 29 medals.

Yep the bloke with the personality of a chopping board. Can make a dessert though.

We would have finished even lower were it not for a few surprise gold medals like Pentathlon and 100m Freestyle

Somewhat fitting there's empty seats at the Closing Ceremony, given the very low attendances at some events during the games.

Oh, I haven't heard of this. What's it about?

 

[douglyzia]

Just wanted to give a shout out to our Paddy Mills for being all class despite a heartbreaking loss to Spain.

Not that I have anything against what Bogut said. I like his passion and can understand his frustration, but my respect for Mills has grown immensely.

I didn't choose it. It chose me.

Wouldn't there be empty seats at every closing ceremony? Doesn't seem like a hot ticket item.

We all have our moments - he got robbed, that's not his fault.

Silly to put himself in that position, sure but he's hardly an example of what is wrong with the world today.

For a normal* Olympics it's packed.

Sydney:

London:

* and by normal I mean an Olympics where a reasonable number of people actually attend the events.

 

[King Elvis]

Where the people who live in the country, can afford to attend?

 

[Tex200]

Are we there yet

Oh Dear Usain....

If Australia played the blame game they would probably choke.

Sounds like Port Adelaide.

Sounds like Port Adelaide.

True they did lose their Grandfinal on the weekend.
