nz to win a medal really soon

[SpaceMonkey]

I give them the gold medal for the amount of people that abandon their shores. :lol:

Not sure about that, the Chinese and lebanese would give us a hard fight... at least we usually go home at some point!

Sonia Wadell's still in with a chance as she'll get a chance to go through in the repechage, and if she should win that comfortably if she's a genuine contender.

 

[nibbs]

i don't think she's a chance imho

Like I said, capsizing in the first heat makes no difference. If she's a real prospect she'll win the repechage, if she doesn't do that she was never a chance anyway.

we are olympic champions at sportsmanship

Judging by this thread your form's deserted you quicker than Parra or the Warriors this season

NZ win more medals per capita than pretty much anyone except Aussie and Cuba so we'd actually get the bronze at NOT sucking....

Rubbish. NZ came 24th in the medal tally per capita last Olympics.

It's not a matter about people hating on NZ.

Thats a good point by diehard tho .... the only reason reason there is a trans-Tasman rivalry is because NZ are the only ones who care about it. Not to be arrogant about it, but Australia has bigger fish to fry these days, especially the yanks in the swimming :twisted: 8)

 

[DIEHARD]

Exactly, every Aussie knows this.

It wasn't her that capsized, it was the pair!

She's a chance to make the final, and an oustide chance to medal (not gold though).

Evers-Swindell sisters are as close to certainties as you can get - competition scared off.

Ulmer should medal, hopefully gold, same with Fouey.

Fouey and Ferguson are a good chance, as is Doherty in triathlon (Carter some chance too).

Not much else though...maybe a yachtie or two will medal...
Still, per capita we'll outdo most.

 

[Raider_69]

havnt they won one yet?

face it there best chance in a Steven Bradbury type medal (ALA our sync. divers :lol: )

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Still, per capita we'll outdo most.

Yes indeedy...and we'll do it with pride, passion and sportsmanship. 8)

Aotearoa aaahhhh.

How is that rubbish? 24th out of 160-odd still puts them above most of the world.

Sorry my mistake but the same rule applies, if you're a chance and something happens in the heats you should be able to come through the repechage no worries.
