Swimming

[BuffaloRules]

Take out Horton and the relay and the rest are underachieving...

 

[Tommy Smith]

Seebohm and Larkin both choke.

Too much shagging and not enough training?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Hosszu wins the 100 back. Will win the 200 back and 200im. Swimmer of the meet coming up

Had never swam the 100m back at an international meet before apparently

Hmmm...

 

[chigurh]

Wait weren't both Seebohm and Larkin pencilled in for gold? And neither managed a medal... Oh well, I find them both annoying and I'm sick of hearing they are dating.

Hmmm...

Why is that suspicious?

She backstrokes at every meet.

She backstrokes at every meet.

Not a lot of 27 yr olds absolutely blitzing their previous best times...

She also creamed the 400m IM record which was a previous suss performance

Imagine my shock that that choker lost badly, NOT! Seebolm is a shocking big meet swimmer. Swims WR's without pressure! She's worse than Leisel Jones was under pressure!

Larkin was only 0.03 off the time he swum at the World championships to win gold.

Seebohm might be having a slump, poor start again and just all around sluggish...maybe it's time to retire?
Maddie Wilson will be back.

No it is just typical Emily when a big meet rolls around.

During the interview afterwards its like some of them don't even seem all that disappointed....

Reminds me of Leisel Jones after she bombed out of an event in London... "I'm just happy to be here.."

Yep Leisel and that 200m, although to be fair that was an elite performance by the winner that day. Not as if Leisel came 7th!

The Russian loses thank goodness

 

[Tommy Smith]

The Russian loses thank goodness

That's the most passionate I've cheered on anyone so far.

So happy the American won.

 

[Twizzle]

shit morning for the Aussies so far

Depends how you look at it Seebolm losing wasn't a surprise it is Seebolm!

Never been more happy for some American winning. If I came 4th I'd be livid though!

 

[alien]

so what could be the reason for seebolm's slow starts??? it's like she isn't focused

 

[BuffaloRules]

Embarrassing Aussie commentator trying to make excuses around the poor evening performances of the Aussie Swimmers talking about the time differences back to Australia...

They have been in the US for weeks in the lead up to this...

I said this the last time, but the fact that they have their selection trails 4 months before the games is not working....

They should follow the US who have theirs about 6 weeks before...

 

[Rabbits20]

Take out Horton and the relay and the rest are underachieving...

Correct.

Very disappointing.

 

[Rabbits20]

At least Coutts made the final.

Won't win a medal tomorrow though.

Here come Hoshzu or whatever she's called again.

The Aussie commentators at the Olympics have always been the most unbearable of sycophants.

The amount of times I've heard them say "the (insert Aussie swimmer) is well positioned" when they're last or close to it!
