  1. Del Solar/Clancy make it 2 from 2 with a really tough 22-20, 21-19 victory over the Italians. Del Solar the star as Clancy had quite the poor service game, but they were able to get over the line and secure a spot in the Round of 16. Their next match against Russia should determine who they will face there.
  2. Hockeyroos make it three from three with a 1-0 victory over Japan. Not as convincing as their first two matches given Japan are arguably weaker opposition, but they got the win. Secured a spot in the Quarter Finals. Also Sam Stosur/Perez have been knocked out of the doubles in the Tennis with a straight sets loss.
  3. A gutsy victory by the Aussie Boomers over Italy 86-83. They're now through to the Quarter Finals with a match to spare!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Another bronze to Australia with Rohan Dennis in the Time Trial. We're loving Gold today, but equally loving the bronze!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Another bronze for Australia, the women's Quad Skulls who were no sure thing to even make the final. What an effort!
  11. Titmus does a Thorpe and is a 200m/400m Olympic Champion! Three Golds and a bronze in about half an hour for Australia!
  12. Bronze for Australia in the Men's Quad Skulls. What a morning!
  13. Gold for Australia! What a race, and what a finish by the Romanians. We now have two awesome foursomes!
  14. Two for two!
  15. Mens 4's up next. Every chance to double up!
  16. Gold to Australia and our womens 4's. What a row!!!
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. Men's Rugby 7's team eliminated by Fiji in the Quarter Finals 19-0.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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!
  23. By way of an update for all, I can confirm that the mens Rugby 7's team have made the Quarter Finals and their match tonight is againstthe defending Olympic Champions Fiji at 8pm tonight.
  24. A great performance from Owen Wright to claim bronze today! Come back from a brain injury and is now an Olympic medalist!
  25. Owen Wright has narrowly lost his Semi Final, but will surf for bronze later on today.
