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.

Another way to look at it is that how hard is it to win both the K1 & the C1 in this sport? 

There's always a bit of luck involved with Canoe/Slalom unlike some events where a pure technique & high ability can win out

To watch it is nerve-racking enough but imagine the pressure at the top of the run!  All that white water going every which way

Previously, Jess wouldn't have had a second chance but in this Olympics we have both the C1 & the K1

Anyway, Jess will be doubly determined on Thursday if she gets through to the final, that's for sure

A bad loss to the Opals first up to Belgium 85-70. Only scored 29 points in the 2nd half and were outscored in the last quarter 29-13.

Belgium are a decent team, but there were a few things I saw that drew me some concern as to how far they can go. I think they'll still make quarter finals at the least, but they would be aiming much higher I have no doubt.

Meanwhile the Matildas managed a 0-0 draw with USA, which should be enough to get them into the Quarter Finals, pending some other results to come.

 

Men's Rugby 7's team eliminated by Fiji in the Quarter Finals 19-0.

Not good TD ... never looked like it.  Very disappointing

Hopefully we can get a win in the Mens Waterpolo tonight (vs Croatia)

*Wednesday's schedule is up (scroll up to view) Busy day with lots of finals and a jam packed evening


Very nice win by our men in the Water Polo tonight defeating one of the Gold Medal favorites Croatia 11-8. Puts them back in contention to get out of the group stage.

Olympics 2021: Family tragedy behind Kaylee McKeown triumph

Titmus a chance to add the 200m crown to her 400m tomorrow. Our mens 4x200m Freestyle relay team a medal chance and we have two girls in the 1500m Freestyle final.

Two very good gold medal chances in the rowing with our womens and mens fours. Plus two others in contention in mens and womens quad skulls.

Looking like another good day ahead!

 

Biles out of team gymnastics final due to unspecified medical issue. Absolutely gutted. 

Gold to Australia and our womens 4's. What a row!!!

Mens 4's up next. Every chance to double up!

Gold for Australia! What a race, and what a finish by the Romanians.  We now have two awesome foursomes!

Fabulous listening in ... Awesome! (Pardon the pun)  Just held on!

More Gold!!


Bronze for Australia in the Men's Quad Skulls. What a morning!

Titmus does a Thorpe and is a 200m/400m Olympic Champion! Three Golds and a bronze in about half an hour for Australia!

Another bronze for Australia, the women's Quad Skulls who were no sure thing to even make the final. What an effort!

What a morning for Australia ... it's a Gold rush!

How good is Ariarna! A true champion!

2 more bronze in the Rowing ... we're up to 6 Gold & 5th in the standings!

More bronze for Australia with our mens 4x200m Freestyle relay team!

Just touched out for a silver. Great effort by the Aussie men. We were no sure things for a medal in this race.


Ash Barty and Storm Sanders have lost a heart breaker in the Quarter Finals to the top seeds from Czech Republic 3-6, 6-4, 10-7 (Super tie break).

Barty's hopes of an Olympic medal aren't over however as she kicks off her mixed doubles campaign later on today with John Peers. Sam Stosur will also be in action later on in the women's doubles.

Our Men's Rugby 7's team campaign has officially come to an end with a win over Canada to finish 7th. Two wins, four losses with three of those losses combining for only 15 points. Tournament of what could have been.

Jess Fox in contention tomorrow for the C1 with some not startling runs today, but enough to blow out the cobwebs and still have her qualify for the Semi Final ranked 5th.

Another bronze to Australia with Rohan Dennis in the Time Trial. We're loving Gold today, but equally loving the bronze!

 

 

 

Our mens Beach Volleyball team have been eliminated after a straight sets loss to Spain.

A real shame as they looked so good in their first match, but just weren't able to show that form again in either of their remaining pool games.

Ash Barty and John Peers win their way through to the 2nd Round in the Mixed Doubles with a straight sets victory over their opponents from Argentina.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
