That is TWO Olympics where she has completely flopped when she was the hot favourite. Do I expect her to win, no, I sure as anything expect better than 7th!

I'm starting to think Cate Campbell isn't going to win any individual gold here. Bronte will win the 50m, Cate the 100m. Will be cracking races though.

She was not the hot favourite this time, she was one of the 2-3 main candidates, especially after winning 2 gold medals at last years world champs, proving that she's definitely not a typical choker. I'm guessing it's more a matter of Aussie's peaking too early (again), because apart from Horton they're all disappointing so far. Before the Olympics I'd have said Australia had like 70-80% chance for the gold in both the 50 and especially 100 free, though those numbers have already started dropping after these first few days. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

As one of the 2-3 contenders I expect better than 7th and a whole second below her PB! She was utterly hopeless today, that is an absolute choke. The world champs should have seen her at least medal here, although I'm almost glad she lost as the coverage about her and Larkin is close to unbearable. On the positive I have won money on the race lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada4thewin 90 Posted August 9, 2016 #288 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The commentator on CBC said that if Efimova wins the gold medal the controversy will reach a high and that it's the IOC fault with their decision. It seems that the atmosphere is not good in Rio because of the Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, but yeah, it looks like Verhaeren hasn't been able to teach his team how to peak properly after all (which is of course not that surprising when you see Campbell breaking a WR in the in-betweenseason...)
