The lack of publicity and recognition for our Paralympians is really sad to me.  I was shocked to learn we give our athletes $20,000 prize money for winning gold but our Paralympians get $0. What a

Amazing final relay leg from Kyle Chalmers in the 4x100m freestyle relay to grab us another bronze medal, mm away from a silver.

Looking in good stead for the mens 100m final.

John Millman has been knocked out of the tennis in the 2nd round, losing an entertaining 3 set match to World number 35, Davidovich.

Our mens Beach Volleyball team also had a loss today to the Russians, not playing anywhere near as well as they did the other night. They'll need to win their next match if they want to get through to the Round of 16.

Alija Tomiljanovic has suffered the same fate as John Millman losing a tough 3 set match to the Number 4 seed from Ukraine. A pretty good effort though. Ash Barty & Storm Sanders should have their 2nd round doubled match shortly.

Australia get a comfortable 42-5 win over South Korea in the Rugby 7's to get their campaign back on track.

Plus I'm mistaken that they need to beat NZ to advance to the Quarter Finals. I thought it was 4 groups of 4 with the top 2 progressing like in the soccer, but in fact it's 3 groups of 4 with the top two plus the two best 3rd place teams advancing. So keep it close against NZ tomorrow or win and a quarter final place should be on.

Sam Stosur & Perez have won their way through to the doubles quarter finals in the tennis. Fingers crossed they'll be joined there by Barty and Sanders.

Some good results tonight. Titmus & Madi Wilsoncomfortablyinto tomorrow morning's 200m Freestyle semi finals, our womens water polo team come from behind for an impressive win over Netherlands and Ash Barty/Storm Sanders win their way through to the Quarter Finals of the doubles in tennis.

Let's hope these good results continue with our Softballers on tonight.

Well for the first time in Olympic history, we're not going to medal in the softball.

Beaten 4-1 by Mexico. Our inability to convert runners on base to runs is what's hurt us this Olympics.

In some other positive morning news, the Kookubarras have beaten defending Olympic Champions Argentina 5-2 to continue their unbeaten run and are looking very good!

Our Rugby team have had a tough loss to New Zealand 14-12, but the two tight losses to go with a big win should be enough to get them through to the Quarter Finals. We'll just have to wait to see who they draw?

A great performance from Owen Wright to claim bronze today! Come back from a brain injury and is now an Olympic medalist!

Thanks for all the updates TD ... much appreciated

The Bronze meant a lot to Owen judging by the celebrations.  Fierce competion so any medal is great reward

Jess Fox has qualified first in the K1 Canoe/Slalom to be run shortly so fingers crossed

Poor Jess Fox has just missed out on gold by tapping the final gate on the Canoe Slalom which has given her a 2nd 2 second penalty dropping her from gold to bronze.

Well done on winning another bronze medal though!

So close hey ... such a fine line between winning and not winning.  Nerve racking sport to watch so I'm glad I was only listening in on audio!

But Jess can make amends on Thursday in the C1.  Anyway, I guess we had our hopes up but that's the roller-coaster of the Olympics

A Gold medal is damn hard to attain. They don't hand them out

Not wrong Macca. It would be harsh to say she choked, but I will say after having watched all of hers runs that the pressure certainly got to her. She'd been so dominant, so really feel for her.

But the good thing about sport is that you get a chance to amend, and as you say Macca, I have no doubt she'll be going he'll for leather come Thursday.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
