Sally bombs out in the quarters of the surfing, Owen Wright it on in 40mins but will find it very tough against Italo

Tsuzuki came 9th at Margret River and 5th at Rottnest Island on the WSL back in May so its not a random result.

Might be an un-Australian opinion, but have found the surfing quite dull as a spectator sport. (admittedly dont really understand the scoring)

Have been on annual leave and taking advantage of the streaming service- great to avoid the ads and replays on the two main 7 channels.

Watching far more table tennis than I'd care to admit :lol: and the cross country mountain biking yesterday was a great watch.

I love watching the surfing, really enjoyed it, however the WSL is much better to watch as they run the events at the premium locations in great conditions with waves of consequence, this Japanese beach break isn't the best advertisement for the sport.

Tough call. Brutal sport in as far as 1 small error is a massive penalty.

She made 2 mistakes. 1 and she still wins Gold.

Bit harsh IMO. Thanks to our swimmers we're a good shot at exceeding our London and Rio tallies. I think Fox would be our only favourite beaten so far. Swings and roundabouts though; I don't think K. McKeown and Titmus were favourites for gold.

Edit: actually Barty had a shocker too.

How many mistakes did you make at work today? And what did it cost you?

Soccer so confusing this tourney
So how is it when the opponent twists their ankle on your foot they get a free kick?
