Summer Tokyo 2021 - General Discussion and Preview Thread (23rd July to 8th Aug)

800-meter freestyle
Men
Gold: Jack McLoughlin, Britain
Silver: Mykhailo Romanchuk, Ukraine
Bronze: Gregorio Paltrineri, Italy

Ummm.Jack McLoughlin is Australian

Also…
4 x200m Freestyle

Women
Gold: Britain
Silver: United States
Bronze: Italy

Australia are the WR Holders and hot favourites
Britain didnt even qualify

I wonder if they have their genders crossed? Australia women should win 4 x 200 in a WR, barring an error. Brits have a very strong men's team.

I dont think Clareburt can go quick enough
It would be great to see Seto win this
The 400IM is a bit stagnent with no real standouts though

And away we go. Watching the first batter up for Oz in the softball against Japan.

And she gets to first base with a bunt on about the 5th pitch.

First semi controversial decision of the games.

Japanese on 2nd base running to home from an flyball between 1st and 2nd is tagged out by Oz catcher at home plate but umpire says she illegally blocked runner by standing in front of the plate and a run is given to Japan.

1-1 at the bottom of the first.

Very hard to get excited for the Olympics, feels like it shouldnt be going ahead and the fact theres no crowds and Tokyo is in lockdown, is enough reason for me to not be excited. Wont get into this as much as previous Olympics

Medal predictions for events at the Tokyo Olympics

TOKYO (AP) — ARCHERY Mixed Team Gold: South Korea

Australia down for 16 Gold

Agreed. Depending on the breast stroke leg, Australia should feature in the medals in the women’s 4x100m medley relay too. Breast stroke is the only weak link.

Is there a schedule floating around to know what to watch and when?
