How good is the rowing

Stroke at over 38/min for 6 mins solid all in unison, skill execution required to spot on (exit, carry over the water, re-entry has to be perfect).

Amazing sport.

Get on your concept II ergo at your local gym tonight and try and hold 35 strokes/min for 2 min and see how long you last*.... (@Pseudo

Only 35 strokes a minute? Amateurs.

Yeah they're fit **** that's for sure. I used to do an hour on the rower twice daily last year for 3 months and lost a heap of weight and the first day I did it, I lasted 5 minutes and thought I was going to die

100%. Brilliant skill execution.
I've only gotta look at a rowing machine and I get tired.
Brutal sport.

Rohan Dennis from Adelaide is on the road in the cycling time trial. Left as the 5 highest ranked and currently sits third. Has a lap to go.

Going by SA Footy standards that’s a choke...

Beaten by two vastly superior teams.
Only a choke when you are number 1 in the world and fail

Rohan Dennis gets a bronze. Fantastic result.

[Corona Man]

To the current overall medal tally and we are in front of both Great Britain and thankfully the Kiwis.

So far so good been a good Olympics for the Aussies. Always tougher in the 2nd week when the Swimming gives way to the Athletics.

Still good chance to jag some medals in track cycling, and usually pick something up in some of the obscure events, modern pentathlon as an example...

3 quarter time up by 3 against Italy on the basketball.

C'Mon Aussies dig deep.

Aussies beat Italy 86 - 83

Great game by Landale

But more importantly, what was their stroke rate?

[Corona Man]

Anyone know if Titmus can run, draft her into the Athletics team next week if that’s the case...

AUS 0 Egypt 1 at half time in the soccer.
Speaking of chokes

[Gozu]

A decent but unspectacular win by the Boomers against a plucky Italian side earlier tonight. Next up we play Germany on Saturday evening.

Australia 86 (Landale 18, Mills 16, Kay 15, Baynes 14, Ingles 14) def Italy 83 (Fontecchio 22, Mannion 21, Polonara 12)

AUS 0 Egypt 1 at half time in the soccer.
Speaking of chokes

That's a pretty ignorant comment. If the Olyroos don't proceed to the knockout rounds, that's not a choke. What is a choke are countries like France, Germany and Argentina missing out.

A goal would be nice thanks folks.
