Not that it's my preference but I could quite easily mount a stronger argument that the AFL & NRL seasons should have been called off Needless to say the risks taken by having any sport at all during Covid are all questionable This thread should be in the general discussion area of the site anyway

Bronze to Kelsey-Lee Barber in the Javelin ... at her best she would have won tonight but she's had all sorts of issues which have effected her performances Couple more throws tonight and Kelsey-Lee probably wins. Got better with every throw Still, a fine performance to win the Bronze

Boomers were supreme and the Beach Volleyball Women (del Solar & Clancy) won well against quality opposition. Both teams now engaged in semi finals on Thursday Next up is Latvia (Thursday 11.00am) for del Solar & Clancy whilst the Boomers take on the USA (Thursday 2.15pm) Shaping up as a big Thursday in more ways than one with Kookaburra's vying for Gold (Thursday 8.00pm vs Belgium) and we are medal chances in a few other sports as well on the same day Our 4th team still in the running are the Opals and they play the USA at 2.40pm tomorrow (Wednesday) And the 5th team in the running (The Matilda's) play for the Bronze against the USA on Thursday as well (6.00pm)

Yes the Water Polo Women's team just couldn't get within striking distance ... trailed by 2 or 3 for the majority of the match ROC controlled the match but we never gave up and could have pinched the game in the end. A good effort, all the same when considering the funding we're up against (as TD noted in the above post)

Kookaburra's win through to the Final!! Played much better tonight and controlled the game throughout. Germany just couldn't score against our methodical defence based style Final: 8.00pm Thursday Australia vs Belgium with a Gold medal up for grabs!

Well done Harry!! The Kazakhstan boxer a tad unlucky as I scored it a draw But you take the win and the assured medal

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!

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

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

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?!

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 .

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
