OT: Games of the XXXIII Olympiad - Paris 2024 - 26/7 to 11/8

[the phantom menace]

So our mens basketballers finish 3rd in the group, but scrape through to the quarterfinals as the highest 3rd placed team among the three groups...?

*Unless Spain beat Canada and push us to 4th in the group, and unless there's some f**kery in Group C and South Sudan beat Serbia.

Giaan Rooney with some high quality commentary in the men's 50m free.

All 3 golds today are great stories, lots of significance

Cam McEvoy - redemption and rewriting the sport
Kaylee McKeown - best individual winner in Aus history
Saya Sakakibara - personal redemption but more doing it for her brother
