Our swimmers & Rowers have been performing incredibly well. Not sure we will have too many medal chances in the athletics - however I'm looking forward to seeing how our athletes perform. As Pierre de Coubertin said ... The important thing in life is not to triumph but to compete.
Loved Jess Fox's performance in the slalom yesterday. That was nerve wracking! A well deserved gold medal.

Ayyyy, we got one.
Winning medals aren't big for our guys, it's mostly just about going there, competing and having a little fun, so getting anything, let alone gold is pretty cool.
Our women also got bronze in rowing, they weren't expecting to medal at all so we're all excited for them, and another fella should get at least bronze in boxing, so it'll be a pretty successful showing at these games for us when all is said and done.

I was watching earlier and the announcers were saying they had never seen THAT before. I looked up and the woman boxer was getting a point deducted for "slapping".
OK so sue me. I got a chuckle out of a woman slapping the other in a boxing match.

Yes congrats to the US on your performance.
Very pleased with our Australian team. 17 Gold, 6 Silver, 22 bronze for a total of 46 -- not bad for a country of 25 million. We've always been strong in swimming but some of our athletes in the track & field were very competitive.
Kudos too to our neighbours across the ditch, New Zealand -- 20 medals from a country of only 4.8 million people.
Brilliantly staged by Japan in what were extremely trying conditions. It was a marvellous effort to bring the worlds best athletes together during a lockdown and stage a highly entertaining spectacle.
Omedetō.
