Tokyo Olympics 2020(1)

How good was that to watch!
My missus hates swimming (I told her she's UnAustralian, she kind of is being a pom!) but even she was cheering away during that relay!

What a legend McKeon is! And Campbell's last leg was awesome!

Aussie Gold in the BMX

[Brodlach]

Gold in the BMX now too

[RB]

We're ahead of the Soviets now into 4th on the gold medal tally, and more importantly ahead of the GB team.

Having said that the second week is likely to be a bit leaner for us.

Almost certain gold in the Sailing today and perhaps a gold in one of the hockey events. Maybe a couple of medals in cycling but going to be lean from here

Men win the hockey and through to the semi's against the Germans.

[Jim05]

Not so smug now are the Dutch

[tigerpie]

Keeper did brilliantly.

At this point the Ozzies have 31 medals, 14-3-14.

A bronze in tennis, a bronze in cycling, a gold in BMX.

Every other medal was won on or in the water: swimming, rowing, sailing, kayak, surfing.

Hockey is played on a watered down surface, so we should be right there.

Plenty of diving in the soccer as well.

If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch the womens 1500m, especially the 2nd heat.

The Aussie girl (Hull) makes it through, but the one to watch is the Dutch girl.

I've found a replay via twitter (albeit very grainy with Mexican commentary):

Aussie Girls go down in the 1/4 final of the hockey.

Aussie Girls go down in the 1/4 final of the hockey.

Now that is the choke of the Olympics.
Undefeated going in and having only conceded 1 goal for the tournament and lose to a Indian side that barely scraped in to the finals and had virtually 1 shot for the whole game

Watched it live .... amazing performance. She also competes in the 5k and 10k, so she was hoping for a soft heat run, but that all changed with a lap to go. Great recovery.

Aussie track cyclist face plants at 60km/h after his handlebars snap in the team pursuit.
F#$king lucky boy to only have a bit of bark off.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Aussie crashes out of teams pursuit when his handle bars snap off. Did they buy their bikes from K-Mart? Could have been worse if he was the lead rider.

[Jase]

The poor bugger is going to be in a whole world of pain... those burns on his face are going to be nasty...
