Yeah I think we had to take a long hard look at ourselves after London and Rio and have really turned it around.

3 things since London and Rio.
1. Fix the culture
2. New coaches
3. Finally have trials 5 or 6 weeks before an Olympics or World Champs rather than nationals in our summer in March or April being our trials for a July or August Olympics or World Champs.
When I see Cate Campbell in that post race interview I get emotional as well. What a fantastic Australian athlete who has represented us over multiple Olympics and dedicated herself to be her best.
It's why I get so annoyed at the choke comment that so many people throw around. These people put in more effort to something than most people will ever give and they try their best. Sometimes they don't deliver their absolute best at the biggest moment.

Yes they do scare the children don't they
From a neutral perspective comparing to Rio. Oleksiak went 0.11 quicker than her winning time from Rio to finish 4th.
Weitzel went 0.07 quicker to go from 7th at Rio at 8th today

So sometimes they choke?
sport is either just physical or it’s both a physical and mental battle and if it’s thé latter then choking is a thing. People just need to deal with this fact.

Hall of Famer
Winnington from day 1 is perhaps the only real underperformance that can even be remotely classed as a 'choke'.
So far we've medalled in just about every event we were expected to medal in, and have now surpassed Rio with still a few days left in the swimming program and plenty of finalists and medal opportunities. This swim meet is a success, unquestionably - you cannot win them all but if you can pick up medals in almost every event you're predicted to medal in that is nowhere near a 'choke' or 'failure'.
It's telling that just now Thorpe acknowledged that when people don't win a gold/medal when they're expected to, that it does mess with your head.
I like that with this result McKeon has been able to elevate herself like she has after always being more of a bridesmaid at International level, don’t think there’s anything harder to do, was always likened to Susie O’Neill but a lot of Petria Thomas about her in her ability to work hard to change the script
Michael Andrew’s freestyle is gross

That was a bit of a surprise to see Wang get up. Thought Andrew or Seto would be the top 2 and Scott did better than I thought.

Really fantastic role model.
So that chinese guy who broke the vials and got suspended , is he doing the special comments for chinese tv?
If your child competed at the Olympic level and was favourite for an event and just missed out on winning a medal or gold because they didn't quite race their best, would you call them a choker or tell them that they choked? Because that's what I think about the tag. When you know how hard someone has worked for years, would you call them a choker?

Nothing but admiration for Cate Campbell. The most public of breakdowns, and then 5 years of guts and determination when she was past her peak. Good on her for holding on and getting the rewards. A true role model.

Really feel like they should've gone with this for the ROC anthem:
DIG
Brownlow Medallist
Give Winnington Emma McKeon’s sports psychologist and he’ll be primed for Paris in 3 years, the ability is all there.
