Thought they'll be flogging Matildas playing in the Olympics 

No, because kids can't watch at 3 am.

got to say I was pretty lucky being born with good hand eye co ordination.
Gimme a ball sport I'll get the hang of it bit by bit, I took up golf due to business and convenience late 30's, you know that feeling, 1 good shot out of 20 hahaha
Its a bug now around a 18HC not that I work on it BUT got to say its the HARDEST game I've ever tried !
How hard is it to hit a little static ball whereas gimme a football and I can put it on the spot where I want to !
So I admire these robots who hit a thousand balls a day and put it on a dial.
I like watching the top flight, PGA/LIV golf and right now the British Open, these guys are assasins so to speak.

So our olympic 4 players are pretty hot - the young Lee bro and sister, Jason Day and Hannah Green.

Yer I'm over cricket, went too commercial, too many tournaments and after the eras I grew up with nothing compares and the game like many sports changing rules have sanitised the larrikan DNA we treasure.
Baseball, yer watch paint dry haha

Yes Golf is one of those sports to me that are amazing to play, but absolutely shithouse to watch.

Alongside Cricket and Baseball


I watched "The Long Game" on Netflix last night after getting home from the game... Its a bit schmaltzy but interesting golf movie...

Well, got to say in the past I haven’t seen it much, snippets here and there probably part due to timing.
I want to look out for it this one being it’s coming up and I like our players who are pretty damn good at it.
It’s my other weekly pastime MSC hence my interest.
Prick of a game but I enjoy the time.

Big opening Saturday in swimming with both 400m and 4x100m relays. Women's 400 belongs to Titmus. The 200m it's her vs O'Callaghan. Both relays in with a big shout at gold and Samuel Short, a world champ, not to mention Winnington, are top 400m chances.

I see the entire competition of men's football play Wednesday. Uzbekistan Spain will be a good watch to gauge the AFC.

9Now, being the free 9 app, I assume will only show events that 'must' be shown on FTA as per the anti-siphoning list (such as the Matildas games, as one example) and all the Australian events.

Given that Stan has hubs for Team GB and Team USA coverage (among other countries), I expect ALL events - regardless of who is competing or if they sit on the anti-siphoning list, to be on Stan (non-Matildas group stage games, as one example)

EDIT: Although interestingly the media release from 9 a few weeks ago says this, so maybe they are making all events available on 9Now:

---

It was a Euro qualifier wasnt it? Germany had already qualified, so the result I guess doesnt matter, but theyve been in pretty average form outside of the Olympic qualifier where they won away to Holland. 

Now that you mention it I think that's right. I saw a headline saying Olympic test failure but it was a dead rubber in that sense. Game against Austria in Hannover tomorrow night.

Who has it FTA ? 
7 I suppose.
Do we know what will be shown any scheduling ?
Apart from Matilda’s like to see some of our Aussie golf team for we have some top players in it - even though they are Pros.
Has Stan provided what they will be showing ? 
Forgive me I’m not a Stan subscriber at this stage.

Nine has it. I'm just paying for stan for a month. I'll watch what I can live everything else I can watch on replay. I recommended getting the Olympics app and just making notes what you want to watch. I assume as always the popular sports will be on normal tv

This is really cool!! The inforgraphic/sheet, not breakdancing as an Olympic sport. Can these be downloaded somewhere? Would be great for my kids as I'm trying to get them into sport more, so to help explain the rules and so on.

AOC have been sharing infographics on their social channels and info on new sports recently, will be expecting a bit more in the next few weeks and as events start
