Let's go Australia, Olympics thread

Well done Taylor McKeown. Fastest qualifier into the 200m breaststroke final.

 

[SmegHead]

Sign Chalmers up as a Cat-B rookie.

Should go great in the wet.

The team cheats sanctioned by gov. Those competing are still cheats. So no real surprise to me.

Considering they passed drug tests to make it in, how are they cheats exactly?

Only in Athletics which hasn't really started yet.

I didn't know that.

 

[RonSon]

Because the Russian drug testing agency and government conspired to hide positive tests.

I didn't know that.

Have you read how the russian system "works". Also previous russian cheats were not tested prior to games, but i dont want to start that convo again. systematic doping.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

Ducking beauty, any more swims today?

Women's 4 x 200m freestyle coming up. We qualified second fastest.

 

[Bacon8]

Fifth gold, moves us back into fourth on the Medal table.

Remember all the shit we had heaped on us by the Poms after their home Olympics?

Where are they this time around?

In front of where they were at same time in 2012.

Team GB aren't swimmers - they win in other events.

They all had to pass new tests in order to be allowed to participate.

Yes and no. Drugs can be out of your system detection wise but still enhance performance. Anyway like o said dont want to get into a runnin blue about it

What a result for SA. Kyle Chalmers winning the most famous and hardest swimming race in the world to win. The kid is set to be our next Thorpe.

Bogut a winners attitude. Legend.

Indeed.

Koch didn't like his attitude.

 

[Anzacday]

Sorry for the intrusion and pardon my ignorance.
Is he the son of Brett Chalmers by any chance?

 

[Rotayjay]

Kyle Chalmers you absolute champion. Go South Australia!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Way to go Chalmers....

First time a Crows fan has ever uttered those words!

Yes

I haven't really followed this, but the Russians are responsible for testing their own athletes?

Is that common practice around the world?

 

[Anzacday]

Yes

Thought I saw the resemblance.
That's pretty cool - thanks.

Needs a cool Thorpedo style nickname

Super Nintendo?

 

[PrideOf]

That Chalmers kid is like ice. He's just won Gold at 18 and it's like he's just had a good day at school. Brett was laid back as a footballer too.

Did Basil say Can McEvoy???

Yep. Complete aresclown is Basil.

Looking forward to the 2036 Olympics where the son of David Mackay is in the hunt for a medal.

 

[Tadpole]

Jeez 0.03, must be a fingertip in that. Can't ask for much more than a PB in the Olympic final though.

Needs to grow her fingernails for Tokyo in 2020.
