Summer Tokyo 2021 Day 3 Thread

[Drummond]

Day 2 was a pretty good day for our team events with the Boomers opening up with a (sloppy) win, and both hockey teams getting comfortable wins. Swimmers were a mixed bag but that 4x1 gold and WR was sensational.

Day 3 highlights include:

* Women’s 400m freestyle final, Ledecky vs Titmus, the one we’ve all been waiting for.
* Men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, can Chalmers anchor us to a medal?
* Hockeyroos vs China
* Men’s BMX cross country; can cycling superstar van der Poel win?
* Women’s water polo Australia vs Netherlands.

Plus all the awesome volleyball and much, much more! Bring it on!

Triathlon too

Working - so keep up the results thanks

Triathlon starting very soon. Any sneaky chance of a medal here? I don’t follow the sport much, so I don’t know who the top medal chances are.

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

Drama in the triathlon already with a false start, with quite a few left standing on the podium.

What on earth was that boat doing near the starting blocks . What an absolute farce at the start of the triathlon

Guess they can't stop fans from being along the fence at the Triathlon? Good to see the people of Tokyo get a look if so.

Road cycling, triathlon, open water swim, marathon and the road walk. I think those events will have Japanese watching from the side which is great.

Olympic pressure is a different beast.

That bloke who just won the gold in the triathlon is a freak. Absolutely gunned it on the last lap and held on.

Showed them a clean set of heals. He couldn't believe it when he knew he was going to win. Love that s**t. Good on him

Aussies were never in it really unfortunately

Watching now, wouldn't say it was the pressure. The surf is absolute garbage, luck of the draw to get a decent wave.

US media is not happy that US lost in the basketball. lo

 

[Donakebab]

The little car that delivered the ball in the Rugby 7's is one of the highlights of these games!

Why are none of these skaters even trying to find the secret tape?

Looking fwd to the time they allow gamers to sit and play Tony Hawk at the Olympics.

 

[CakeEater]

They seriously should be just playing Tony Hawk soundtracks as they go round the course
This would get everyone pumped

Not sure being 183cm is conducive to being a good skateboarder

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

This Aussie female skateboarder is bloody hopeless

Actually most of the skateboarders I’ve seen suck

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

First Barty, now Gilmore out, are Aussies the biggest chokers in the world?

Pressure.


I think Barty is still in the doubles?
