Very happy to see the Aussies doing so well across so many sports.
Gone are the days of winning a couple of golds in the pool and then struggling through all other events, winning a surprise one here or there.
Great day with 4 golds!

According to reports it was our best day ever with 4 golds and also it is the most golds we have ever won with 18 and still 4 days to go.
I will be surprised if we hang on to 3rd place but this is undoubtedly our most successful Olympics

I got on the forum this morning just to see this post.
I knew you’d have it up. Thanks for your efforts with this thread @tiger_one it is much appreciated. Although I can’t open it until I’ve watched all the replays or I’ll know who won.
Nina was just an amazing force of a woman last night. It’s not always the looks that makes a woman dead hot.

Interesting results with our teams in the games. Usually we claim some medals from them all but this tournament has not been as kind to us.

This is not trying to be negative about our magnificent achievements, but trying to compare the amount of gold medals to other eras isn't being fair
When you see the amount of events we have now compared to even the Sydney Olympics .....let alone the Melbourne Olympics .....its crazy
Keep the personal bests and medals coming
