Knocking the poms off in the cycling men's team pursuit is a beautiful thing.

Aussie Mens 4x100m broke the National record but only finished 6th in a stacked heat so missed the final.
Their time would have won Heat 2

The “women’s” shot put field is an absolute freak show. Half of them should be carnies in a travelling circus

And at the other end of the spectrum we have women's water polo.
Underwater shots are something else.

Aussies come second to the Krauts by a bee's dick in the 500m kayak sprints.

Channel nine chooses to follow this epic contest with rhythmic gymnastics on one channel and golf on the other. Yawn.

Krauts broke the start too but unfortunately unlike the running events you don’t get disqualified

Love having Stan because of this. The ability to pick your favourite event and watch it in it's entirety is something I've been waiting years for.

Like a sparkler on New Year’s Eve, this … whatever it is, has shine bright for a few seconds before being dropped for LA2028, probably never to be seen again.

If you slow down Raygun's routine it replicated me trying to get up out of someone's garden last Saturday night.

No love lost between the Dutch and Germans in the hockey.

Can you blame the Dutch for giving some stick to the Germans?
I don't believe so.
