Great work by the Equestrian team and Andrew Hoy. Our silver cupboard was a little bare, so nice to even things out a little!

TD beat me to it but the Olympics site is easy to negotiate - a few clicks and one can find all the Aussie representation (or any country for that matter) ... www.olympics.com

Not sure on the app but others might have a verdict on that one ... I just use the official site

For the benefit of others, the 7Plus app is brilliant.  I watched all the Equestrian tonight on a laptop and no gliches to be seen at all

 

Edit:  At first glance the official app looks good ... the daily schedule in a complete timed list is very helpful

Not entirely sure where our 3 competitors sit** with regards to the Eventing Individual Final but we may well be in a position to be vying for medals again

But it would be great to see Andrew Hoy get an individual medal of any colour

Competition starts at 9.45pm

** See next post

Good effort by the Sharks tonight, finishing their Olympic campaign with a 15-7 victory of Kazakhstan which sees them finish with a 2-3 record and finish 9th. A lot of the time a 2-3 record would be enough to earn a Quarter Final birth, however it wasn't to be for the Sharks despite their impressive win over Serbia. One of their better Olympic campaigns IMO.


Will take a minor miracle for the Opals to get the 25 point win they need tonight. At this stage it's no sure thing they'll even win!

1 point up at the half.

Sad way to lose foe the Matilda’s. It was pretty even, both teams had their chances and in the end a bit of luck for Sweden got it done. Baffling decision from the ref to award that soft free kick to deny us the opening goal. Really silly from Carpenter (who’s been good all tournament), frustration got the better of her and now she misses the bronze play off game (and I think if we somehow beat the states she doesn’t get a medal). 

Still they’ve done Australia proud, setting themselves up for a red hot crack at the World Cup.

Andrew Hoy wins the Bronze medal in the Equestrian Individual Eventing!!

At one stage he was in the gold medal position with just 3 competitors to complete their jumping discipline

2 of the 3 went clear including the ultimate winner and the first female athlete to win this event ... Julia Krajewski

All the same, a fantastic effort from Andrew Hoy along with his mount, Vassily De Lassos

Kudos!

Will he be back for Paris?!

Edited by Macca

Opals got a move on in the 3rd term. Now 16 points up with a quarter to play. Can they do it!?

They've somehow managed to do it the Opals! Well done on getting to that 27 point victory and securing that Quarter Finals birth! Left it late, but at least they got there.

Will face USA or hopefully Spain instead in the Quarter Finals which will be tough either way, but at least they managed to get there.

The Opals save the day!! (from a teams point of view as we've done ok elsewhere)

Man, that was tense!

We live to fight another day but we're going to have to have a couple of 'day-outs' to progress past the Q/F's

Not wrong there Macca.  The Opals have drawn USA in the Quarter Finals....

Ugh!  That match-up now falls into the "you never know" category!

But still, basketball games can be won if one team gets hot with 3 pointers

We've done ok in the Canoe Sprint S/F's today with 3 crews/singles progressing to 3 finals ... coming up shortly

Another gold coming our way tomorrow in the Sailing with our pair only needing to show up!

That will make 15 gold and officially put it down as our 3rd best Gold Medal haul at the Olympics ever and keep us within striking distance of making it out best!

Well done to 470 crew! (Mat Belcher & Will Ryan) ... they have been dominant throught

Just need to eke out a few more gold TD.  We've got more than a few more chances though so fingers crossed!


Do we know the order of the gymnastics finals tonight? I am trying to plan my evening around it…. I’m not obsessed you are ?

I’ll answer my own question. Simone on at 6:50pm then we have an Aussie representing in the horizontal bars. 
My night is sorted ?

Sorry for the silence Jaded. Off doing dinner etc. See she got bronze which is a brilliant effort!

Meanwhile Harry Garside has won his way into the Boxing Semi Finals assuring himself of a bronze medal minimum.

She was amazing as always. I think they scored her a little low on the difficulty but what an effort to come third after the week she’s had.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
