Team AUS at Paris 2024 | Daily

Day 3 Review :AUS

 

Another mostly solid day for Australia, with MOC getting the better over Titmus for gold in the 200free, and Chris Burton getting a silver in the Equestrian Eventing Individual Jumping final. 
 

Outside of the medals won, both hockey teams with solid results and are both 2 from 2, woman’s rugby storm through to the semis and are looking in top form.

 

Also worth noting James willet in the trap shooting qualification is currently inside the top 3 and in good form.

 

A Robinson/Ewing matchup awaiting in the Quarter finals of the surfing 

There were a handful of poor results today however which will hurt our chances for medals later on, such as Short not making the 800free final, which inevitably rules out his chances of a good result in the 1500m, opals  basketball with a ugly loss to Nigeria, Tokyo boxing bronze medalist Garside crashing out in the round of 16

 

Overall Day 3 went to plan in terms of the medals won.

 

TOTAL MEDAL COUNT

Gold- 5  Silver- 4  Bronze- 0

Day 4 :AUS Preview 

 

Another massive day for the team, with many medal chances although some tough ones.

 

I can see 3 gold medal chances today, with James willet in trap shooting, McKeown in 100 back swimming, and woman’s rugby sevens gold medal final.

Lots of important swimming heats underway aswell. 
 

Small chances for bronze today in men’s 4x200 relay and Haecker in woman’s 63kg judo. 


It will be tough, but goal for today is 2 golds won, and a bronze. 
We could win 3 golds today, or not even get 1. It will be tough

Massive day 💪💪

This day has really turned ugly quickly, but it was always gonna eventually happen….

Just poor results everywhere you look bar the win over Serbia in water polo.

That rugby result is horrible. I’m coping with it by saying that if we won that we would’ve lost to NZ anyway in the final. 

 

 

We BADLY need Kaylee to win later in the 100 back to rescue today.

Yeah pretty ordinary day so far. We haven't dropped any expected gold medals but we have dropped a few medals. 

Some positives:
 

  • Mens Water Polo
  • Penny Smith looking good to qualify for the Womens Trap Final despite a poor start in the first round
  • Ebden/Peers moving the Men's Doubles QF where they will probably be favourites. Granollers/Carreno Busta weren't an easy pair to beat so that was a good win.
  • Grae Morris working his way back into the top 10 after looking not so great at the beginning although he isn't going to get the express route to the semis or final it seems.
  • Chalmers looks great for the 100m Free and looks like Qin Haiyang might not be as big of a threat to ZSC now as initially thought.
  • Martin and Diehm got the job done in BMX qualification


Other than that quite a bit of bad. Like yourself, my copium for the rugby is NZ would have been favourites in the 7's final and they've got a core of really good young players for the next olympic cycle 

McKeown's a massive one. In terms of saving the day it's probably the perfect event given the US-AUS swim rivalry. I'm also curious to see what the intent will be with the 4x200m relay. They could potentially have a very strong team on paper but I'm not expecting it given the timing of the 800m and 100m events.

    • writing here because it's going to heavily impact on the Olympics, but it's part of a way bigger blow for many sports in Italy    earlier Today, the Italian idiots running the government did change the rules about getting the Italian citizenship because of the heritage (ius sanguinis) now, only foreigners with at least 1 parent or grandfather/grandmother born in Italy will be able to ask for our citizenship now all those people with the Italian heritage coming from men/women further down the family tree won't get it because of that (of course they will still be able to earn it following the remaining pathways, like marriage or living here for at least 5 consecutive years -if coming from EU Nations, 10 if coming from outside EU)   this is basically the end of any chance to have an Italian competitive team in all those team sports where there are not enough athletes practicing within our Country like ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football and even rugby (just to name the olympic sports), all disciplines where we always relied on major help from foreign born Italians   but this soon will affect also a few individual sports, when the consequences of the pandemic stoppage will come into effect (soon)   for this thread's purpose, it' obvious that now we won't have any chance to have a decent hockey team at the 2026 Home Olympics; we are forced to stay with the current shameful B division bunch of drunk players that can't even skate
    • NOC's qualified for the free dance (and eligible for earn Olympic quotas):    x3  x3  x2  x2  x2  x2   20 teams qualified but only 19 will earn quotas.
    • Maybe now the sport news and people here can do a little less celebration the next time a russian figure skater has their own disaster.Karma is a thing in sports too apparently,just had to get a bite in that a russian representing georgian had a disaster that opened the door for one of our own to the olympics.And now our main pair fall,whoops.
    • it took two Olympics (and 4 years) for UWW to finally realize there is a big big flaw in their current rules (we have this since early 2021)   in Greco-Roman, in high level specially in heavier weights it's just hard to score. in this case sometimes the match ends up 1-1. (1 pt for passivity caution for each) under current rules lots of wrestlers decide to be intentionally passive in first 2 minutes to receive the first caution. this created lots of ugly scenes in Olympics. for example  Yasmani Acosta won an Olympic silver in Paris without doing a thing! he was passive in his 3 pre-final matches and won all of them 1-1    UWW will test a new rule at the European Championship next week, only in case of 1-1 and only in Greco-Roman whoever gets the first point wins. I believe this will become an official rule soon, they should make this change long time ago but yet late is better than never   https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships
    • are my favorites for the time being.    could definitely grow on me as well. There's very few songs I'd count out before I get the chance to see them during the live shows.     P.S. "Baller"  would play at a trendy shop in LA, and I would enjoy it  
    • Yes, correct. Anyway still not officially confirmed by our NOC though
    • They failed to qualify for the free dance by *0.01* points.
    • Massive upset by :LTU Ambruleviciud/Reed scoring 20 points less than usual after a fall and failing to qualify to Olympics. Massive blow and shock as they were basically almost guaranteed top10 
    • 64.83m from 16 YEAR OLD Ziyi Yan  for a new world junior javelin record.....which she already owned.
    • Technically, we have a few more confirmed quotas: Alpine Skiing - 2 Biathlon - 4 Cross-Country Skiing - 3
