Damnnnnnn that was closer than I thought it would be

I’ll ask Jess Fox after tomorrow and get back to you

ZSC isn’t dead and buried in 200

What on earth was that last 150m from Ladecky? 800m is on

How tf is this relevant right now 💀💀💀

Yeahhh baby

The power of a home olympics on show

Some rough calls but well done SA

Omg omg

So they didn’t check the forward pass earlier on? Ok

I would love a bronze here as no one predicted to get this far, but the same can be said for South Africa

Evenepoel looking strong

Coverage hasn’t even said or shown Injury?

Incredible, the pain of the diving a few hours earlier is quickly forgotten

So happy , the relief especially after that dodgy start

Really hopeful for Brown, she is also gonna retire soon

Oh god that poor start better not come back to bite

Nahhhhhh what was that start ffs

Van Dijk 17 seconds behind 😬

Didn’t think this thread would be used once the games started 😂

What on earth was that from williamsom 💀

Look like first medal of these games will be going to Congratulations

Maybe they did it for logistical reasons instead If anything they probably should have just split it into 2 parts instead of multiple, like first half of countries come out, then a break before the next Would be more watchable

Day 1 Preview A MASSIVE first day for Australian medal chances (DIVING) Woman’s 3M Synchronised The first medal chance at these games for Australia will come with Keeney and Smith in this event. They are also the Rio 2016 bronze medalist and I can see a very good chance for a Silver here. Hard to look past the Chinese for the gold (Cycling Road) Woman’s Individual Time Trial Grace brown could either win it, get a minor medal or not even medal at all. She will be second last out of the gates as a result of her strong world champ result. Hard to predict but this will likely be our first Gold medal chance of the games Rugby Sevens (Men’s) The medal matches are today and on paper a bronze medal matchup with South Africa is the most likely scenario, unless we do something incredible and beat FIJI. This team getting a medal would be an incredible result, as not many would of picked them to do so. Swimming (Men’s 400M Free) The start of the massive swimming chances begin with Short and winnington in the 400. Assuming they get through heats, this is going to be a massive matchup against Lukas Martens . As far as beating the US in the Swimming medal tally, this is absolutely crucial for us to win. (Woman’s 400M Free) Titmus will a strong favourite but watch out for Summer Mcintosh, as she is eventually going to be beat Titmus one day, let’s just hope it’s not tonight. We will also be on WR watch here (Woman’s 4X100 Free Relay) We will be favourites here as always, and not winning this would be an absolute disaster. WR watch once again and will be interesting to see who the final 4 swimmers will be. (Men’s 4x100 Free Relay) US are obviously strong favourites, but Australia can hopefully challenge for the Silver if Kyle does his thing. Hopefully a strong performance from him (Recap) 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. Only walking away with 2 golds would be not end of the world but slightly underwhelming. Anything less than 2 is a disaster. Absolutely massive day, bring it on 💪
