    Bronze to Kaylee McKeown in the 200IM. A little controversial given she touched 4th, but 3rd place was D/Q'd for an illegal turn. She can do no wrong Kaylee.

    Another loss for our women in the 3x3 Basketball to France 16-18 in overtime. Some real questionable umpire calls didn't help them. A win would have locked up a top 2 spot and automatic semi final birth. Now they need to go through the play in phase. Sadly with their injuries, I expect they might get bounced straight away.

    Well the Sharks have done it again. Defeating European powerhouse Hungary 9-8 in the Waterpolo. Never seen them play so well as they are at the moment. Have set themselves up for a legitimate push for a medal.

    Silver to Australia in the windsurfing with Grey Morris! Great effort, I had a lot of trouble following what was going on out there. Haha.

    And Gold for Australia in the Mens Doubles! What an effort to Eden and Peers. And all the better beating the Americans!

    Hockeyroos get the win 3-1 over Spain despite playing pretty ordinary compared to their last three matches. This win places them top of their Group and means they'll have a likely Quarter Final against China.

    So in news that effects the Hockeyroos, Argentina have just defeated Great Britain in the Hockey 3-0. It means that for Hockeyroos to top the group, they need to defeat Spain later tonight by at least 2 goals. Or 1 goal if it's a high scoring shoot out (at least 5-4. But that's unlikely).

    Not wrong there Macca. In fact, it's only the end of Day 7 competition, but if the Olympics were to stop right now, it would already be our 6th most successful Olympics in terms of Gold medals, already having surpassed our hauls in London 2012 & Rio 2016 (two reasonably recent games). Only two more nights in the Pool, so will be interesting to see how much more Gold we can grab in the final week of the games when it gets to us.

    Three gold in the one night! Sakakibara in the BMX race just blew the field away. What a race!

    More Gold to Australia! Kaylee McKeown has done the double, double defending both the 100 & 200 Backstroke from Tokyo. What an amazing achievement!

    Gold to Australia! Cam McEvoy in his 4th Olympics finally gets his first individual gold. Very happy for the guy, he really deserves it. And we finally have a bloke get a gold medal.

    In some good news for the Boomers, Canada have beaten a fast finishing Spain in the Basketball 88-85, meaning that they should now advance to the Quarter Finals. Given their record though, every chance we could draw USA. Should find out after tomorrow.

    Medal to Australia! Whether it's Gold or Silver is still to be determined, but Matt Ebden and John Peers have defeated the USA's Fritz/Paul in the Tennis Doubles Semi Final 7-5, 6-2 and will go for Gold tomorrow! (Tomorrow I think)

    Boomers drop an important match to Greece in the Basketball. They even run the risk of missing the Quarter Finals now pending the result of the Spain v Canada match later this evening.

    Stingers get another victory in the Waterpolo 10-7 over Canada. Got a little tight in the final term, but another win, and they're right in contention to top their group.

    Disappointing loss for the Kookaburras 2-3 to India, their first loss to India in an Olympics since 1972. End of the day, still have a Quarter Final spot secured and it will be a tough match up, whether it's against any of Great Britain, Germany or Netherlands. Once we'd lost the game to Belgium, the easy run to a Semi Final was lost. Here's hoping they can find their form for the Knockout matches.

    And a Bronze Medal in the women's rowing pairs! I'd completely missed it myself, but our run of medals every day continues!

    Win streak comes to an end for our 3x3 team, going down 17-21 to Spain. Brave effort as they had no sub with Mansfield being injured. Hopefully she's right for their match against France tomorrow and a win can still get a top 2 spot.

    4 wins on the trot for our 3x3 Basketball team with a 21-12 victory over Azerbaijan. Still two games to go, but if they keep up this form, they should be good for a Semi Final birth.

    Gold to Australia and the 4x200m Freestyle Relay team! It was close for a while, but when Titmus was last in the pool, they were never going to lose.

    In great news the Hockeyroos have drawn with Argentina 3-3 after trailing 0-2 and then again at 2-3. This draw means a win over Spain in their final match (which they should do) almost guarantees them top spot in their group unless Argentina absolutely demolish Great Britain in their final match.

    Payback on Canada today continues with Mariafe/Clancy getting a straight sets win 21-10, 21-16. That assures them of a spot in the elimination Round of 16. It was the girls best performance so far. Canada made some mistakes, especially in the first set, but the girls have improved each match so far.
  23. MadAsHell replied to Macca's post in a topic in Other Sports
    They've done it again the Sharks! Another huge upset, this time over France 9-8. With two wins out of three, they're almost guaranteed of getting through to the Quarter Finals.

    Well done to the Opals on the bounce back win, 70-65 over Canada. Still a few issues for them to tidy up, but Canada are a good team, so they should take that win.

    Australia get a 2nd win in the day in the 3x3 Basketball, knocking off USA 17-15! Takes them to 3-1 so far with 3 more games to come. Here's hoping the Opals can draw inspiration re coming back from a slow start to the tournament.
