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

[the phantom menace]

Serbia too good and win by five.

Thought we had them after that first quarter and 14 point lead. Credit to the Serbia coach and players for working their way back and controlling the game at the key points.

No medal for the Boomers as they crash out in the quarters.

Boomers chucking a 98 Eels prelim in their QF.

game was in the bag 3 times over.

Lack of composure and smarts when we had the lead. Even in OT, hit the front and then shit the bed with amateurish plays

Serbia are a gun side. Shame but they were classy and deserved the win.

 

[Gronk]

Go you good thing.

In other news, this British golfer is pissed that she can’t hit the bungers during her round.

We've got some amazing athletes. Well done Trew for getting gold and creating history.

Hopefully there's more gold to come.

As for the Boomers, I'm not a huge basketball fan but they were up against a really good team and I felt they gave away too many turnovers and missed a lot of shots. I guess they expected to do a lot from their previous campaign. Hopefully it wont be long for another medal but who knows what will happen in Los Angeles.

According to this we have sent the 3rd most competitors behind USA and France.
So we probably should be up the top.

Womens basketball is getting redemption. They are way ahead of Serbia in the QF 83-62 in the final quarter.

And our male hockey player busted for allegedly buying some blow in a Parisienne Walkway* is getting... a poor reputation .

Our success has to do with how privileged Australian women are.

Our success has to do with how privileged Australian women are.

Or luck...

Or resources...

Nothing to do with their actual skill and effort, or their coaching

Holy Goldrush Batman!!

We know one of the girls competing in the artistic swimming.

She’s a dual Olympian now. Can’t say I’m huge fan of the whole shebang.

Looks like they need a cleanout.

The Serbs are cheats - they're playing a guy at centre who isn't even human...
