    Can someone explain how Simone Biles is been given title of greatest ever when Larisa Latynina has more gold and 6 more medals? I get she is American, wonderful personality but we are easy to be prisoner of the moment.

    Australia 
    9/10
    Great games frustrating end with getting 4 golds in one day then 6 straight silvers to finish games. Highlights Cam Mcevoy 50m freestyle gold after choking in Rio he developed a new method of training which relied less on swimming in pool more in the gym, won first medal in his 4th Olympics
    Keegan Palmer at just 21 successfully defended his Olympic title. 
    Saya Sakakibara BMX racing being knocked unconscious in Tokyo  then see her brother who got her into sport suffer sever head injury, she really questioned competing and decided to ride in his honour and win gold. 
    Noemie Fox stepping from her sister shadow (Jessica who won two gold in Paris) and winning gold for herself in kayak cross. 
    - Jessica Hull winning first track medal in 12 years
    -Nina Kennedy winning first gold medal in field event women (pole vault) 
    Biggest Surprise  
    -Lauren Jackson winning medals 24 years apart. 
    -Grace Brown dominating women's time trial. 
    -Kaylee Mckeown defending 100/200m backstroke golds and becoming women's backstroke GOAT. 
    -winning record 18 gold medals 
    - sweeping Park skateboarding men's women's with Arisa Trew youngest gold medallist (14 years) 
    -Fox sisters sweeping women canoe slalom events 
    -winning gold in men's tennis doubles
    -breaking WR in men's team pursuit track cycling 
    -women's water polo winning silver 
     
    Biggest Disappointments
    -Women's soccer have gotten plenty of hype as of late and didn't make group stage 
    -Women's rugby 7's playing wonderful last tournament being up 14-0 in semi final to not medalling all. 
    -Breaking Olympic record in semi of K4 500m and just loose in final to Germany. 
    -surrendered huge lead to Serbia in basketball. 
    -Raygun she tried her best but wasn't near Olympic standard. 
     
    Was our country goal achieved? 
    Top 4 finish and record gold i guess so. 
    Future 
    I guess most sports will get more funding with Olympics at home in 8 years. Like to see more investment in combat sports. 
    Potential star 
    Have some promising swimmers who impressed junior level too many to name . Mia Kretzer won x games gold 9 year old our skating looks great. Grae Morris future sailing star. Mollie O Callaghan will be in prime by LA. Jessica Hull progression has been amazing.

    Australia 
    Aiming for 7-10 gold in Swimming 
    2-3 Gold in by Jessica Fox 
    Saya  and Logan Martin in bmx
    rugby 7s women's gold 
    2 good chances in women's high jump 
    2 gold in rowing 
    Women's soccer have decent chance at gold 
    Matt Richards in track cycling maybe one gold 
    Can grab gold in trap shooting 
    Men's hockey always contenders 
    Men's trap shooting 
    Swimming as always will win us bulk of medals 
    18 gold will be a target and best ever result. As long no nation with smaller population then us beats us on medal tally guessing Netherlands biggest threat to do so. 
    Anyone else i missed that has decent chance winning gold for Australia?

    Are you kidding Summer Mcintosh in 400m freestyle? Ariarne Titmus just broke World record last year, Summer finished 4th and you calling her a lock. 4x100m freestyle women's relay for Australians is a lock.
