OLYMPICS 2020 Tokyo Olympics

And the Nacra team just botched it totally, up in 3rd at the last change and in bronze / silver position and just died to finish 9th and finish overall 5th.

How annoying! The Aussie men's pursuit team just set an Olympic Record and had they not crashed yesterday through absolutely no fault of their own, likely would be going for gold, not just bronze. That sucks.

Well scratch that, Italy just broke the world record! What a luxury to bring Ganna in!

Belgium knocked out India in the men's hockey.

No surprise there. Belgium are the world #2 behind Australia but that just makes things more complicated for Australia if they make it past Germany. They are no slouches themselves, they are ranked #6 in the world.

Absolute drama in the men's pursuit semi. Denmark were destroying GB and caught their last rider...who happened to take two of the Danes out. The last British rider just Bradbury'd it over the line and as it stands, Denmark the world record holders, are out!

I swear I remember seeing a video of a Brit take out some other riders recently (not today) too.

India have been disappointing for mine, they won the Women's game against us but fair dinkum, we would have been 1.01 to win that game.

Their men's division has no excuses, they have a fairly popular league in India, it's sponsored by some big names. Their fans back home are entitled to feel let down by that result.

And the Aussies screw up the bronze run in the men's sprint despite being easily quicker than France prior, totally screwed it up.

Denmark through. Pretty sure they've paid off the officials or something. First the shin tape drama (now they're not wearing it) and then they crash into the GB rider. Not sure if they had already completed the race but this stinks to high heaven.

‘He’s done it’: Aussie snaps horror drought

It's been a massive night for our teams with Australia's beach volleyballers and the Boomers into the semis and the Kookaburras into the final.

Probably the female GB rider who crashed into the back of one of her teammates after the race. Not paying attention and chatting with another rider.

Harry Garside will be taking on Zakir Safiullin in the men's light (57-63kg) boxing quarter final.

That's on in 20 minutes.

 

[Super Freak]

I think Harry won that first round. Leaving himself open for big hits, though.

 

[Super Freak]

I would like to know how they thought Zakir won that round..

 

[Super Freak]

Harry winning the 2nd round has tied it all up in the scores.

 

[Super Freak]

They are going to give it to Zakir.

 

[Super Freak]

YES! HARRY WINS!

 

[Super Freak]

Kookaburras coming up!

 

[DanG]

YES! HARRY WINS!

so good, guaranteed medal now!

Well done Harry, he’s into the medal rounds.
