 Day 1 Preview 

 

All in all, there is 4 gold medal chances for us on day 1 (3 in swimming 1 in cycling) and ambitiously I want us to win at least 3. It will be tough but very possible

 

 

Goal has been met! 
Incredible first day for Australia! 

Main disappointments were the diving choke and rugby sevens but grace brown delivered in the time trial, Titmus and woman’s 4x100 were class as always

Winnington solid silver, Short disappointing 

Mens 4x100 relay is a great silver when there was no guarantee we would even medal. Im more happy about that time from Kyle. Chance for gold in 100free is on, also Titmus in the 800 considering that poor swim from katie 

 

Outside of the medals, some solid team results such as Mens basketball with the massive win over the dangerous spain 92-80, Field hockey men begin with 1-0 win over argentina.

I completely missed Grace's gold!  Was so focussed on swimming and then sleeping to get up and watch more swimming.

Day 2  Preview

 

After the crazy pace of the first day action, day 2 cools down a bit but the chances for medals still swiftly come in.

 

The 2 main gold and medal chances for Australia today come with Jess Fox in the K1 and Chloe Covell in the woman’s street skateboarding.
Jess will be the heavy favourite but will also be under pressure to deliver as flag bearer.

Chloe will be a chance but not the favourite.
 

Swimming is full of weak events for Australia today but woman’s 200free heats and semis will be intriguing. Even if there is no medal chances let’s hope for good Australian times 
 

Main goal for today is for 1 gold, hopefully with Fox delivering, and I’ll be happy with a medal in skateboarding.

Day 2 Review

Main goal for today is for 1 gold, hopefully with Fox delivering, and I’ll be happy with a medal in skateboarding. 

Whilst no medal in Skateboarding, the gold medal goal has been met once again with the incredible performance from Jess Fox, delivering in the K1. 
 

Swimming finals was quiet as expected but Giuliani was impressive and backed up a good heat swim to qualify into the 200m final 5th fastest. 
Other swimming results were mixed, such as the diabolical performances of cooper and woodward.
Mollie and Titmus are primed for tomorrow in the 200

Qin finishing 7th in the 100breast means ZSC could have a chance in the 200, but we wait to see his form 

 

Outside of swimming, some good team sport performances, such as the woman in the rugby who are looking strong with the 2 big wins. 
 

Picklum out in round 2 in surfing which is a big disappointment, but Tyler Wright has looked good. 
 

Chance for a medal in Equestrian Team Eventing is unfortunately gone as Mcnab had to pull out for the welfare of his horse, however Burton is currently sitting 3rd in the Individual rankings and is in the mix.

 

Overall a successful day 2

Day 3 Preview 

 

Lots of action again on day 3 with the highlight of the day for Australia to come in the Woman’s 200M Free between Titmus and MOC. Let’s hope for massive times and an Australian 1 and 2.

 

Also in swimming today are the important heats of the men’s 800m free and Woman’s 100 back. 

Along with the woman’s 200f final, 2 Bronze medal chances today with Ramsey in the 400IM and Chris Burton in the Equestrian Individual. Maybe also a small chance for Rousseau/Beddgood in the 10M synchro in diving 

 

Final goal for today is 1 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze. This is a very realistic outcome
