Swimming

So Taylor admitted she freaked as well....so how many are choking? This might be a coaching issue...are they all coached by the same guy? I know Larkin is coached by Bohl.

I didn't think it was that bad, but she was way over confident addressing Irving and then bumping him for Bogut making it clear she did not know Irving is a way better player than Bogut.

Irving left Aus at 2, the dopey mole said to him "why aren't you playing for Australia anymore???

Absolutely cringeworthy it was, looked like she just came off an ice bender.

How good is this bloke?? Simply out of this world.

I don't see why Phelps shouldn't come back again in 4 years time in his pet events?

I mentioned the same thing about Bolt and got shut down - granted i know nothing about athletics.

It was a pretty open discussion about Bolt.

But like you said about the swimmer, Bolt was a young phenom, he smashed junior records and he only missed out on the Athens final because he injured his hammy.

It's a sad state in olympics that we think someone who's fast is automatically doping.

She swam 58.7 in a heat at last years worlds. And she didn't even swim faster in the 200IM than last years worlds. I think she has moved to the US in the past few years to train, so maybe. So maybe a couple of PBs but its the Oympics mate.

Maybe we should be sending all our swimmers over to the US then, because what we are doing isn't helping.

Ask Lockyno1 said - will be lucky to win an individual.

There has been a lot of talk that this is choking. It is pretty clear that it is, Larkin just spelt it out how he tightens up compared to other meets.

I think Phelps silver medals would be worth more than his gold if he sold them to Rick and the boys at Pawn Stars. Phelps silver is as rare as it gets.

lol Basil Fawlty again talking up last years world champs, the form hasn't stood up at all in most of the events. The Yanks barely give a shit about them it's all about the olympics.

True it was. Hosszu has been around since 2004 and has set world records in shortcourse events but I guess that is just the reaction we have nowadays - they're fast, they're on PEDs.

Watch us lose

Canadian girl is a huge chance

 

[hineyrulz]

If the Campbell sister's don't win gold it will be the biggest choke of all.

Get on the Aussies to win now.

 

[Shorty]

I can't watch, I'm nervous and after tonight's performance who knows.

 

[hineyrulz]

LOL you f**king chokers.

 

[DiegoNT]

Wow what a choke

 

[Tommy Smith]

AHAHAHA

9-1 on the Canadian!!

Should have been all over it! Just like Chalmers coming home.

Aussie choking disgrace.

BIGGEST CHOKE IN HISTORY

 

[Tommy Smith]
