Scrutiny will mount if we dont do well in events we were expected to do well in, larkin and sehbohm tanked they at least have another swim to make amends. We are struggling in hockey and atm rowing which is a bit of a surprise, we actually look way out of our depth in rowing. It seems we are going through an unsuccessful period in general there, apart from kim crow not much to write home about. The big positive for me is beach volleyball and basketball, huge chances at medals and something decent.
You do realise Larkin was only 0.03 seconds off his winning time in the World Championships in the 100m final right? He isn't a 100m backstroker, he can do it sure, but his pet even is the 200m. Sehbolm was terrible, but she always has been in big events, I was more shocked she was favourite going into the event!

Mens hockey I agree, womens hockey well we didn't help ourselves, we left out our best player for so called 'disciplinary reasons'.

As for the rowing the only ones we were meant to medal in were the mens 4's (which we did) and the womens single sculls (which we might still). What other events did you expect medals from?
