Bronte Campbell, Cate swam the anchor leg to bring it home. Agree the third swimmer in the pool changed it.

Hehehehe didn't need to be a good lip reader with Liz Cambage this morning voicing displeasure over a foul call. "F***ing biased", the Brazilians were getting a decent ride, didn't do them any good in the end though.

The NBC olympics site has the medal table in order of total medals won, and thus has the seppoes in first place with 1 gold and 4 silver. Bloody cheating yanks!

Nice to see Vietnam win what was apparently its first ever gold.

They have probably still got the shits on from the opening ceremony when the countries were introduced in alphabetical order of the host nation's official language.

Meant some countries entered the stadium in a different order to what those cretins at NBC wanted as it screwed with their ratings potential.

Great effort by the Aussie girls sevens, these girls go hard, Caslick is a beauty.
Mens soccer players should watch these girls, they might think twice about rolling around til next week after an ankle tap
