Paris 2024

I'd imagine the extra weight of the helmets would cause more concussions and/or make them more severe so it does seem weird the girls still wear them.

My wife was mortified that 14yo kids didn’t require helmets for skateboarding. A couple of the girls hit their heads on the concrete pretty hard

According to an article I read for under 18's helmets are mandatory.

That was a disappointing loss by the Boomers last night but was to be expected against Canada. Next up Greece on Friday night at 9pm.

Canada 93 (Barrett 24, Brooks 16, Gilgeous-Alexander 16, Dort 11) def Australia 83 (Giddey 19, Landale 16, Exum 15, Daniels 10)

Penny Smith gets a bronze in the womens trap final. This final being historic because Adriana Ruano Oliva won the first gold medal in Olympics ever for Guatemala. Quite fitting seeing as the Guatemalan flag has rifles on it.

Chalmers get 2nd in the 100 free

Not wanting to sound like a sore loser but Pan Zahale from China is an extremely hard trainer….

The eight other best swimmers in the world and you win by over a second in a 47 sec race?

Hopefully he’s clean and it’s one of the all time great Olympic swimming performances, breaks his own WR by 0.4 sec. Time will tell.

Allegedly.

Don't want to sound harsh but the way Chalmers has spoken after the heat and semi was like he was already defeated.

Nearly half a second?
He's either a freak or he's a pin cushion.

I'm sure Pens sample will be kept in an easy location to find so in 3-5 years time when the WADA has caught up they will be able to verify the legitimacy of his win one way or the other....

Not saying it is easy to qualify for an Olympic event and some are easier than others but to win the two Spots in the women’s 200 free on the Australian team you had to break the WR tonight

Both Arieana Titmus 1:52:23 and Mollie O’Callaghan 1:52:48 have gone under 1:52: 82 old WR to win the two individual spots

O’Neils winning time at Sydney was 1:58:24

Impressive start for the girls. Lock in two gold medals Womens 200 Free and 4x200 Free Relay

Stay tuned for more hard hitting predictions.....

Matildas coach sacked.

Seriously overrated team since the WC

I'm no soccer player but the defence was appalling then and now

The comments coming out of Paris re the Coach are thick and fast

[Jimmy_041]

Should the Opals change their training to see if they can do an offensive rebound?

One player goes for the 3 pointer - 4 others stand and watch

Runners in the 1500m heats.

First heat had a kraut called ****. Next heat has a springbok called Tschite.

I hope they finish 1-2 in the final. Then the winners will be **** Tschite.
