Swimming

[Didgi]

So we've got one gold already in the pool, can Magnussen and the boys keep it going?

I wonder wtf is going on with the 16y.o. Chinese girl that blitzed the World Record too.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Came from nowhere to smash the world record and is 16 y.o. That's always going to be suss when it's a Chinese swimmer.

I hope him well but I won't be watching grown men splashing around up and down a pool.

Phelps will swim in the 4 x 100 final tom morning presumably.

Good to see magnussen is swimming the heats though.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Great swim for the C-bomb , new OR in the 100 back heats , almost a WR.

Australia may have a good shot in the 4 x 100 meadey for women as well.

Seebohm breaks olympic record in the heat.

Hocking takes second in Heat 6

If you're going to call the Olympics, you should be able to pronounce the names of the countries.

:lol: the Hadleyisms keep on coming...

"and there's a nice shot of the girls touching."

Nothing but hard work has got Wei Doe Ping to that Gold and World Record!!!

They've already won more medals in the pool than they have at the last 3 Olympics combined, including this kid improving her PB by like 6 seconds in 4 months.

Seems legit

:lol:

I noticed that one too.

Bothhadley and Wilson are also big on saying "according to my calculations" or "if I recall correctly" before reading out whatever stat they've clearly just been handed as though they actually know anything about the sport :lol:

 

[skeepe]

He's basically given up saying the names of most of the swimmers after mangling that Thai girl's name.

To be fair Junkrajang looks quite challenging to say, although how he got Junkarangjank I'll never know.

Susan Boyle from NZ is a huge chance for the 400m freestyle after a strong heat!

 

[herbert henry1908]

Pretty good start for the Aussies this morning. Couts with a bronze in the 100 fly and sprenger with a surprise silver in the men's 100 m breaststroke.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Interestingly as Hackett mentioned , we may have a shot of becoming the first team of defeating the US in the 4 x 100 medley in olympic history after sprengers performance.

Sprenger
Magnussen
Stoeckel
Wright

 

[herbert henry1908]

Wow , not even a medal in the men's 4 x 100 , pretty disappointing.

 

[some11]

What a bunch of duds.

Overhyped.

 

[aqua_duck]

Weapons of mass disappointment
