Equestrian is not a sport, why its on 7 every time I look I don't know. 

Hahah, it has been, traditionally, somewhere we win a lot of medals.

Surely the poshest of all sports. Members of the Royal Family compete in equestrian at the Olympics.

Although, rowing is very posh, too.

Our national water polo league ought to be televised. Great sport.

Loved the end of the Australia vs Hungary match. After the final whistle someone cracks it... but what do they do... try to push each other under water like kids... i mean they had literally spent the whole match kicking and punching the shit out of each other and now you bring out the handbags.

Say this every Olympics but I wish just once a telecaster would put together a highlights show that shows all the events for the day.  Who won what where and when.  You know, updates on the pool matches in the volleyball, the men's football, the archery, the water polo etc etc.

I don't even know who is in the men's football tournament.

I don't even care if they put it on at 11pm at night. It'd just be nice to know what else is happening besides the friggin swimming and the equestrian.  (Mind you with 3 channels it's miles better than what it was in the past.)

The best coverage was a few olympics ago when 7, or whoever, covered all the popular Australian stuff (75% of the Olympics) and SBS got to cover the rest of the not so popular stuff.  IE handball, indoor volleyball, judo, weightlifting, soccer etc.

Bring that back.

Pity that neither Larkin nor Seebohm won golds. Those were two that we were hoping to win and would have helped our medal tally a lot.

When you add the men's relay to that list of events Aus hasn't won in swimming, there's a few we've dropped which we probably had decent hopes of winning.

so proud of the boys they showed a lot of heart today. Credit to lemanis for the good job so far. I've been on his arse for awhile now about his coaching performances. But it looks like hes got the team playing the way he wants. Our defence has been relentless and we're starting to wear out opposition as the game rolls on.

99 Problems - 8 Aug 2016 1:04 PM
Can't see anyone touching Cam in the individual 100

Apparently, Nathan Adrian swam a slightly better time than him in the relay. Four one-hundredths of a second in it or something.

Watched a replay of her winning it.  Just stood dead still and let the moment wash over her.

Was brilliant.

Iraq Brazil match on now in the men's football.  Currently nil all at the 60 minute mark.

Would love to see Brazil get beaten as they are cheating, diving dogs but unfortunately Iraq are even bigger cheating, diving dogs.

'tis quite the conundrum.
