Today’s match against the Russians was actually quite entertaining. And yes, they are babes but it’s not a bad sport to watch.

To me.... to find out if I really like the sport, or just admiring the women is..

Do I enjoy watching Mens Beach Volleyball?

So far I haven't watched a second of it.

Answers it for me right there.

The performance of the Olympic Games…

Pat Tiernan in the 10,000m final..

Absolutely busted a gut keeping up with the pack into the final lap, but his body gave out with 200m to go… wobbled, collapsed, got up, and eventually finished…

While I’m proud of every Aussie who’s won gold silver or bronze….

Im the most proud of this bloke…

I dunno what press coverage his run will get, given he didn’t win a medal…

But rest assured it was an immense performance of courage.

Aus and Argentina in the hockey should be a tight finish. Everyones a winner.

It was so nice to see Kaylee McKeown let
Emily Seebohm put the Gold medal on her and let Emily know that she deserved to be on the Gold medal podium also, bought a tear to my eye and shows how much respect the swimmers in the Australian side have for each other just like when Cate Campbell got bronze and said straight away to Emma Mc Keon i'm so proud of you when she won the Gold just seconds after they hit the finishing line. If there was more sportsman ship like this the world would be a better place.

Rohan Browning has just run the fastest Olympic 100m by any Australian in history…
I said to the mrs this guy will have to run the race of his life in this heat and it will still probably only get him 7th. I couldn’t believe it. Yohaan Blake couldn’t believe it either and he is sprinting royalty.

Ash Barty and John Peers won bronze in the mixed doubles tennis as Novak Djokovic pulled out of the play off for bronze in the mixed doubles just after he lost the play off for the bronze in the singles.

A shame because it would have been interesting seeing the world no 1 in the women's against the world no 1 in the men's up against each other. Oh well still an Olympic medal for Ash and John Peers.

You could almost see the thought bubble from Blake when he thought he was clear and started to look around and thought who the f**k is that in lane 1 🤣

Lot less stacks than the skateboarders. Was good to watch.

Medley relays ended correct way, Aussie Women, USA men the dominant teams
