Hockeyroos 1 down, their short corners terrible. Need to settle. There's still time but they need to play better.

 

[sameolds33]

and they're out - heartbreaking result

 

[boncer34]

India just better on the day.

Yes, sadly. Our girls were so strong through the round robin but fall at the first knockout game. Devastated for them. Brooke Peris is my niece's partner's sister. Know the family will be gutted.

Did you see it? Kind of lucky....in that with the bars (carbon fibre?) shearing off he could have easily sliced himself around his neck area. Could have been way worse.

Nope waiting for a replay, didn’t have the tv on. Sounds terrifying though :/

The team get to do a re run so hopefully Alex Porter can pull himself together and make something of the second chance.

Yep… ended up fifth.

He was the drop off rider, looked like s**t though. God that must’ve hurt

And just caught the replay on the other channel. Jeepers!

Silver in the equestrian team eventing.

Still ranked fourth overall, two golds ahead of ROC

 

[Lore]

And a bronze in the individual eventing as well, Andrew Hoy.

Opals are playing atm, can’t say I watch much basketball so it’s kinda interesting

 

[sameolds33]

Aussie women's teams not having much luck today. Hockeyroos and Matildas both going down and looking like the Opals won't get the 25 point lead they need to go through to final 8.
BUT they did it!

 

[boncer34]

Opals!!!!

So good!

Men's 400m hurdles... second place broke the world and olympic records.. and that Olympic record has stood since 1992! Apparently the guy that came 5th if he'd run that in any other olympics except 1992 he would've won.

The guy that won broke (his own) world record by over 7 tenths his face was legit

Absolutely amazing!

You could tell by the semis that this would be a fast race.
They all looked strong

Another gold!

Another gold!

It's funny they're basically all on or in water. The only one that isn't was the gold for BMX park...
