lol holy fuck. what a sailing finale. fucking aussies capcising

are you fuckin around?

it said we were guaranteed at least 2 medals.... what bullshit

 

[stazi]

Maybe this is a different sailing division to the guaranteed ones. In the one they were showing, we had to beat italy by 2 placings apparently. Italy capsised, then we capsised multiple times, so i think we'll be stuck with silver/bronze

 

[stazi]

woohoo finals fof the men's 8 is on featuring tomkins

 

[Rafy]

This is the one with my Year 10 PE teacher! (The cox)

Go Australia!

 

[stazi]

wow...what a horrible loss

 

[Rafy]

lol 6th

 

[your.knee]

sixth... good try

 

[goony]

Yeah aussies got creamed. Aw well, they weren't expected to win. Most of the other countries usually stack all their best rowers into the eights.

5:13ish for a winning time though, that's absolutely amazing.

 

[stazi]

worst head of the river ever

 

[stazi]

you can't buy spirit

go high!

 

[stazi]

fuck! great britain on 11 gold!! fucking cyclists

 

[goony]

aussies guarenteed 2 gold in the sailing apparently. 1 crew has already won on points before the last race and the only way the other crew will lose the gold is if the silver medal contenders finish first and the aussies finish last.

I can't see us winning many more golds with all the water sports wrapping up though.

 

[stazi]

we have a chance at gold in hockey (men's and females), as well as the water polo (again, both sexes).

also, we're almost guaranteed a gold in the BMX

 

[stazi]

gymnastics? more like gaymnastics.

 

[Zrap]

Nadal is winning.
Why show events Australia are not in?
And even if we arent in any event on atm why show shit ones like gaymnastic

oh yeah i totally forgot about the water polo. we're in the runnings for a couple of medals in the basketball too (mostly for the women, the mens are a bit of an outside chance).

BMX is new yeah? i never knew we were highly rated in that.

 

[Silver Persian]

We usually win one or two cycling golds...although this year Britain are winning everything

 

[Silver Persian]

That Israeli gymnast is hawt

not that good tho

 

[stazi]

Yeah, first time it'll be included in the olympics. I checked the odds and the aussie guy is at $1.01 payout for winning the race! incredible.

And we def. have a chance for the women's basketball. Will prob get silver though

edit: we also have a chance for the women's triathlon. also the men's
