OT: Olympics.

[Penrose Warrior]

Massive effort from Maddi Wesche in the shotput, and one of the all-time massive TV director/cameraman f**k ups to not actually a) get a proper view at her last put b) not even see where the f**king thing landed. The commentators thought hers was a winning throw at the last attempt, as did I, then the next thing we see is the distance that says it isn't.

Good on her though, she came up clutch but just short.

Gold for NZ! K2 500 from last night.

Yup, one of the commentators on the stream I was watching (not Sky) started talking about how it looked over 20m, then promptly stopped that train of thought.

Will give them the benefit of the doubt that it stopped short of the line, but damn she did well regardless.

Carrying on Big Vals legacy with medals on the shotput

Also Lydia Ko heading into last round of the golf tonight first equal, hoping to complete the set after getting Bronze and Silver in previous Olympics

Was watching a bit of it last night, she's looking pretty slick, will try stay up for it tonight, sleep be damned!

Carrington unbelievable, Fisher shit the bed

Just when I thought Nine's coverage couldn't be any worse Larmer's turned up at the pentathlon.

Not really a fan of putting a microphone in front of Fishers face straight after that final, she handled herself extremely well but doesn’t need to be in that position

Absolutely, don't think it's much of an argument to say it's our best ever. Wasn't so sure it would be 48 hours or so ago!!!

Maybe still one to come from Ellesse Andrews.

Ahead of Canada, who have 38 million people, and probably access to much better competition in all sports, being in North America.

8th Gold for Lisa Carrington(now ahead of the likes of Usain Bolt and Simone Biles on the all time list)

Yikes, I hadn't seen it before. That was gutsy on her behalf but nah, I didn't like that. Not necessary, as far as I'm concerned. These are humans, not robots for our amusement.

Gold for Lydia Ko to complete the set of winning every colour medal. Only golfer to do this.
Im rapt for Lydia. The ceremony actually brought a tear to the eye. ngl.
