Swimming

[Tommy Smith]

The Aussies are always just "happy to be here" and to "give their all".

Perhaps the Yanks with their killer instinct is the difference.

Psychologically they lap the Aussie swimmers.

It's that sort of talk that shit's me, no wonder we choke when it really matters.

 

[Frankus]

Lol "just missed the touch".

McEvoy was miles behind.

These Aussie sycophant commentators are the worst.

Even so - Florent Manaudou just swam the fastest time in the world this year. Has to be warm favourite going into the final to defend his title.

The other cliché is "I left everything in the pool" even though their time was 2 seconds behind their best from the trials...

Well he did more than Seebohlm!

 

[Shorty]

Well what do you expect the commentators to say? 'F**king loser you failed us!'

Must admit I'm disappointed today, dunno if I can watch the 100m free.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol Chokebomb does it again, time for her to start a family.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Seebombed.

Disastrous.

Oh well, at least she's part of a 'glamour couple'?

I expect them to do their job.

Your example is a ridiculous extreme.

Could he at least say "Although you gave your all, your time was 1 second slower than your semi, can you find a reason for that?"

And he just did ask that to Seebohm. Much better.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol pathetic interview, weak as piss.

 

[lockyno1]

Her and Larkin suit each other both failures

 

[Frankus]

Hosszu will shit this event in.

 

[DiegoNT]

Imagine if other Olympic athletes got the attention and funding our swimmers do. We had a young girl win gold in the shooting yet I've heard more about the back-choke couple in the coverage so far

This! Stop sugar coating it they swim awful!

That should be for the coaches to decide, not some commentator.
I hate that they interview them after the race at all, it's clear almost all of them today know they f**ked it up.

 

[lockyno1]

Well we might actually be closer to my 7-8 golds prediction. This squad is rubbish, couldn't happen to a better Chief De Mission too. Glad she is losing!

 

[Frankus]

She just iced the entire field on that start by half a body length. She is just awesome.

 

[hineyrulz]

This Hosszu has the smell of that Irish swimmer about her, she also came from nowhere to win 3 gold in her late 20's.

I'm glad they know they have choked! I wish the interviews might be blunter as it might make them wake up and perform for once!

Yep I have some questions myself. Let's see if she goes into obscurity post Olympics
