Macca 17,132 Posted August 6, 2024 Author Posted August 6, 2024 7 minutes ago, MadAsHell said: Agreed. Shattering after such a good start to the game. It will be very interesting to see how the team looks in 4 years time. Likely no Mills, Delly or Ingles anymore by LA 28. Yeah, we'll need the new breed coming through. But Basketball is starting to thrive in Australia so hopefully we can produce some more Josh Giddey types Mills was fantastic early but the Serbs curtailed him very well after half time Hard to penetrative that defence though. Again, Serbia just that little bit too good when it counted Really enjoyable game, all the same. The crowd was thoroughly entertained 1 Quote
MadAsHell 4,217 Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Arissa Trew wins gold for Australia in the skateboarding. I think this makes her our youngest medal winner ever, an amazing achievement! Don't know if I'm completely on board with it being an Olympic sport, but an amazing effort all the same! 1 Quote
MadAsHell 4,217 Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Stingers get the win 9-6 over Greece and move through to the Semi Finals! Puts an end to our sting of three teams in a row (Kookaburras, Hockeyroos and Boomers) getting knocked out in a Quarter Final. 1 Quote
MadAsHell 4,217 Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Bronze for Australia at the Velodrom in the mens team sprint. Great effort for them and Monkey off the back, given they'd been 4th at the last 5 Olympics. 1 Quote
MadAsHell 4,217 Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Mariafe/Clancy win their way their way through to the Beach Volleyball semi finals with an impressive 21-19, 16-21, 15-12 win over the previously undefeated Swiss. Great effort from the girls as they've now progressed to the medal rounds at consecutive Olympics, previously only done by Cook & Pottarst for Australia. 1 Quote

What a performance!! How good!!! Alise was unbelievable under extreme pressure Our youngest winner since Sandra Morgan (14) in the 1956 Olympics (Swimming relay) And I believe Thorpie was only 14 when he Won at World Championship level And I embrace all these new sports in the Olympics. Opens up the Olympics to a number of new sports And if we're going to have professional sports such as Tennis, Golf, Football & Basketball in the Olympics, why not those sports with a lower profile that can appeal to a different audience? Anyway, Kudos to Alise Trew! Edited August 7, 2024 by Macca 1 Quote

MadAsHell 4,217 Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Opals return to the Medal rounds for the first time since London 2012 with a comprehensive 85-67 win over Serbia. They need to look after the ball a bit more and need to rebound a bit better, but it's been good to see them improve every match so far these games. 1 Quote

What a night for Australia. 4 Gold Medals plus a bronze to Denny in the Discuss. It's officially our most successful Olympics ever. 4 Gold medals in a day tops the 3 Gold in one day we won a few days ago. Amazing!! Kudos to last night's winners! We're now playing with house money and remaining 3rd overall is now quite possible. France & Great Britain keeping winning Silver & Bronze only and Japan are a fair way back but are known to do well in the combative sports (Judo, Taekwondo, Wrestling) So there are a lot of medal on offer and to remain 3rd, we'll probably need to win 2 or 3 more Gold. Canoe Sprint, Boxing, Cycling, any of our 3 teams remaining are our best chances. Maybe Track & Field? The entire team must be feeling inspired right now so that's a real factor as well 1 Quote
