Sharks beat Serbia 8-3 in the Water Polo! A huge win as the Serbs have won the last 2 Gold medals at the Olympics So we're back in the running

And apparently we are rated #3 in the World? We certainly didn't play to that level and maybe the rankings are questionable? Nigeria on the other hand were very good

We get the Quinella!! Super effort by both girls!! Augers well for the 4 x 200m relay So of the 5 Gold medals we've won so far, 3 were expected and 2 were when we've had a decent chance We haven't not won a gold when we've been the hot favourite (so far) However, if we are right in the mix (but not hot favourite) for say 3 events, on average, we should win 1 of the events (in my view) So if we count the K1 (Jess), the Time trial (Grace) and Kaylee in the 100m Backstroke (later tonight), we should expect to get 1 Gold Medal from the 3 But we might end up with all 3 Golds!! I suppose we might be red hot favourite for the Rugby 7's for Women but the Kiwi's might have something to say about that ... they've been ultra impressive as well!

The Rugby 7's commentators are terribly biased when it comes to the refereeing decisions They rarely point out when a decision goes in our favour and are quick to note when a decision goes against Australia What they should be doing is pointing out both ... the yin & yan (take the good with the bad) In Rugby union especially, a knock on is often paid when a player fumbles the ball. So don't fumble The referees have to make a split-second decision and don't have the benefit of numerous replays

Jessica Fox - Champion!!

Jessica Fox - An Absolute Star! And Jess has still got the C1 (Canoe Single) to come And well done to the Matilda's winning against Zambia in a goalfest! They've kept the dream alive The Women's Rugby 7's team are looking awesome

Simone Biles is just mesmerisingly good in the Gymnastics. Her floor exercise had to be seen to be believed but she is just as good with the apparatus disciplines

From memory, we were in with a chance for at least 1 Gold Medal on all the days of competition at Tokyo. The other memory was no crowds! If the Opals can make it to the final, that event (Women's Basketball) is on the last day and the very last Gold Medal match And you're right, Jess Fox gives us our best chance tonight whilst Emma McKeon is always competitive. And our teams in action can set up medal chances down the track as can the Surfer's & Skateboarder's Rebecca Henderson is an outside chance in the Women's Mountain Bike Cross Country at 10.10pm

The Winners!!

I'm recording the main Ch9 channel on a hard drive as it looks like they are using that channel as a Cover-all/Overview So the presentation will no doubt bob up there sooner or later, TD Needless to say, sleeping is going to be an issue over the next 2 weeks!!

There was a bit of talk that Grace was a realistic podium chance but she turned it into a no-contest. As @grazman mentioned, she rode the race with no fear. Took on the corners in treacherous conditions As you said, it's great to get a Gold early. Takes a bit of pressure off and and adds inspiration for our other athletes Ledecky treated the 400m heat quite seriously this morning (Paris time) so Ariarne will really need to be right on her game But we're a chance in all 4 finals especially the 4 x 100 Freestyle for the Women

You've got to take your hat off to the Fijians. Ultra-talented and they have never lost a match at Olympic level. They are great to watch Way too good for the Aussies (who will now play against South Africa for the Bronze - 3.00am) Fiji play France for the Gold at 3 45am

And we're off the mark!!! Grace Brown wins the Cycling time trial in emphatic fashion. Smashes her rivals Gold!!! Apparently Australia's first ever medal in a time-trial (Cycling)

Yes, an excellent start for the Kookaburra's & Boomers, TD. Early group wins are so, so important Men's Beach Volleyball on now along with the Rugby 7's S/F's at 11.30pm (Medal Matches from 3.00am) Grace Brown has a real chance in the Women's cycling time trial and 4 gold medals are up for grabs in the swimming (4.30am onwards) with strong Australian representation. The Men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay could be a classic with 6 genuine hopes The Ledecky & Titmus dual in the 400m could produce a World record. The wild-card's is another Aussie, Jamie Perkins, and the Kiwi, Erika Fairweather Womens Beach Volleyball (vs China) at 2.00am, Women's Water Polo (vs China) at 4.30am and the surfing from Tahiti at 3.00am & 7.48am

Ha ha! And even though I reckon Jordan Love 'could' be very good or even better than very good, he's getting paid elite money on spec However, so are numerous others. That's the sport these days. Or sports in general Baseball, Soccer, Ice Hockey and the NBA has any number of athletes on ridiculous money

What it shows is how much money is in the sport as the QB is quite often the most important player. At least, that's the consensus By comparison, running backs are a dime-a-dozen. WR get paid diva money etc etc But the money is obscene, all the same. Makes the AFL salaries look like chump-change in comparison. Also highlights how small our sports in Australia are (money-wise) But oddly, many Aussie Rules or Rugby league fans reckon the players are overpaid. Relatively, they are not, unless we compare those salaries to the average Australian wage. Not too shabby for playing sport $55Million per season is about $3Million per game (playoffs aside) ... imagine that amount being deposited into your bank account every other week, Gorg!!!

Yes, in-stadium opening ceremonies often showcase a nation's achievements and classic features So the French decided to take us to those areas instead. I'm surprised it hasn't happened before and I'm betting it will certainly happen again As for the sports, I can honestly say I can embrace any sport (rock climbing, skateboarding included) but the swimming, Track & field, Rowing & Cycling along with any of the team sports win out. Sailing I like too but towards the pointy end mainly

I think you'll find that it was a couple of our athletes responding to the USA's swimming coach not being gracious in defeat, and then outrageously claiming that they'd won the swimming meet when they had clearly been well beaten by the Aussies Team victory is traditionally measured in Gold medals (first) and the scoreline from that swimming meet was the Aussies (10 Gold) and the USA (3 Gold) The Americans won the most overall medals but they can't have it both ways And if another reference was the 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay strumming their air guitars back at the Sydney Olympics, that was in response to Gary Hall Jr stating that the USA would smash the Aussies like guitars It seems to me that the brash & boastful yanks are starting the fires. But that's ok, it takes all types

Well I thought the opening ceremony was fantastic. What they achieved couldn't have been done in the confines of a stadium And considering it was never going to be held at the main stadium, it was exceptionally well done and has maybe set the standard for future opening ceremonies Colourful and very different (and typically French), I loved it!

Yes, Matilda's outclassed by a much superior team, but they are not out of it. 8 of the 12 teams advance to the Q/F's, so a win and a draw in the remaining 2 group matches would probably see the Matilda's advance Women's football in Australia is on the up and the sky is the limit, but there's still a fair way to go to catch up the European teams As for the Men's Rugby 7's, a terrific achievement to reach the S/F's. Fiji will be very tough but we're playing well. At least 1 win from the remaining 2 games secures a medal so there's a lot to play for Looking forward to the opening ceremony!
