It would have been better if you'd discussed the issue rationally rather than reply with abuse, but oh well.
That seems to be your operandum these days.

Like your, lol, response was a rational discussion.

I never suggested in any way we shouldnt celebrate the results. They have done great. You just have your knickers twisted.

Of course sending a big team is a reflection that we are putting plenty into the olympics. So you'd hope it pays off.
I think its pretty clear we are building to 2032. What hindy said is spot on.
But of course the individuals still need to step up and plenty of them have. Good on em.

the Kiwis always do well based on their population per medal count, they normally do better than us

Fun fact: the three medals have a hexagon centre made from the original iron from the Eiffel Tower.

He is getting the chance tomplay along side Nathan. I don't blame him. Our coaching staff couldn't even work out his position. His dad is a coach and obviously not impressed with our rubbish set up.

Yes.

But we stood by him, and his family, when they were doing it tough.

As I said - no loyalty.

Make sure you look after #1 mate. f**k those athletes who still are competing after your event, that you might put at risk at the village, on the bus or in the call room.
