That was an amazing effort. He looked gone in that 1500m. Will that be our only athletics medal? The girls in 1500 are fighting for bronze as two clear standouts, and boys look like will be tough the following night.
Sounds like a disappointing Olympics if so, but can’t help but think it has been one of our best for a while, so many young promising athletes, from 4th and 5th’s in field events to the track has been exciting to watch for once.
Our cycling has really fallen off the cliff which to me has been the biggest disappointment

We do fight well out of our weight class though in most team events.
Our real bonafide gold medal chances have not delivered.

I dug out my two old Hockey sticks and we waved them at her while Oz was in front, but she had the last laugh...
