Matthew Glaetzer makes the final of the Men's Keirin (1.00pm) after coming a very close 2nd in his S/F! The order in the 6 man field will be very important for Matthew ... I don't know his preference but the 2 or 3 spot might suit (?) In the Women's Omnium Annette Edmondson is placed (12th) after 2 of the 4 disciplines Edit: Looks like Matthew could be in the 2 spot in the Keirin Final whilst Annette Edmondson has drifted back even further after being eliminated early from the 3rd (of 4) discipline in the Omnium .

Saturday Schedule 9.30pm Soccer - Men's Gold Medal Match (USA vs France) Sunday Schedule 8.00am Athletics - Men's Marathon Final (Robinson, Adams, Raynor) 11.00am Cycling Track - S/F's & Q/F's (Edmondson, Richardson, Glaetzer) 12.00pm Rhythmic Gymnastics - Group All-Around Final 12.20pm Cycling Track - Women's Best Of 3 Sprint Finals 12.30pm Basketball - Women's Gold Medal Match (Japan vs USA) 1.00pm Cycling Track - Men's Keiren Final 1.25pm Cycling Track - Women's Omnium Points Race Final 2.30pm Volleyball - Women's Gold Medal Match (Brazil vs USA) 3.00pm Handball - Women's Gold Medal Match (ROC vs France) 3.00pm Boxing - 4 Finals (2 Women's, 2 Men's) 5.30pm Water Polo - Men's Gold Medal Match (Greece vs Serbia) 8.30pm Closing Ceremony

2 more chances for medals in the Track Cycling tomorrow ... the Keiren (2 Aussies in the Q/F's) can throw up all sorts of results with its frantic finishes whilst Annette Edmondson is an experienced performer in the Omnium and could get into the finish We deserve another medal to break that overall record so fingers crossed!!

Fantastic Boomers!! We finally got that medal!! The whole team played well but Mills was extraordinarily good!! And Nicola McDermott put up great show in the High Jump. Silver medal a magnificent result!! Not far off Gold and it took a champion effort to beat her At the start of the evening if you'd offered me a Silver & Bronze I would have said ... yes please!!

Eleanor Patterson & Nicola McDermott can feature in the High Jump tonight as well (8.35pm) ... although the Ukrainian jumper (Mahuchikh) will be hard to beat. You just never know! haha

We're running out of medal chances TD! Boomers tonight (9pm) for a possible Bronze and McSweyn has a decent opportunity in the 1500m at 9.40pm After that, 2 chances tomorrow in the Track Cycling as I see it (Men's Keiren & Women's Omnium) but more so a medal chance for Edmondson in the Omnium

Good get Gorg!! But Grinzinger looks like it's got some sort of injury issue. Or just hasn't come back well

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

Yes Melissa is a real chance for a bronze at least ... Final is on at 4pm so fingers crossed We've got a full day ahead of us TD with one important event or final flowing onto the next Wall to wall with hopefully more thrills than spills!!

This post was meant to go up yesterday! Well done to Mat Belcher & Will Ryan in the 470 Class in the Yachting! Gold!

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!
