[Tommy Smith]

Ugh listening to Cate Campbell is depressing.
What a defeatist loser.

Chokkeeeeeee.

This is a trainwreck...

Cmon Horton....

I just don't see him featuring in the medals. But we've seen some world class chokes this Olympics.

Bit harsh dont you think?
She's admitting she stuffed it what more do you want her to say?

 

[El Diablo]

don't let them back in the country

they should be stripped of Australian citizenship

Another slow time by the Australians in the final. Even the ever positive Gian Rooney was speechless, lol.

Definitely needs investigating, a problem with almost all our swimmers.

 

[smi962]

Italian looks good

 

[smi962]

Horton going well early but I have no idea how he goes over the last 800m

Perhaps...

But it's just the way she talks. She needs to harden the f**k up.

Australian sports people are known for being tough and gritty, and she's the opposite. It's easy to see how she couldn't handle the moment.

Someone organise a few 1-on-1 sit down chats with Anna Meares for her - the toughest Aussie athlete I've ever seen.

This italian is Perkin's like dominate; appears to be just racing the clock.

 

[Frankus]

Mac is goooorrnnne

They're not robots shes obviously devastated, she dominated all the way up until the final.
But its not like shes alone, the whole damn team has been this way.
Kind of baffling really, something has gone wrong in Rio.

You can tell Rooney is furious lol, commentating through gritted teeth.

 

[smi962]

Italians 1st and 3rd, wow

 

[smi962]

Sounds like the Italian trains in Australia

 

[DiegoNT]

2 more events to choke in and it's all over

 

[smi962]

Even the American in 2nd, got a PB. Sick of them doing their best when it counts.

Tommy just like criticising Aussies, I wouldn't take him too seriously. Campbell was obviously shattered and was hard on herself for her effort.

That said, not being a swimmer myself mind you, I can't understand how her coaches put up with her always being last off the blocks...when there's 12 one hundredths between 1st and 6th in a 50m sprint it has to make a difference surely.
