Yeah the Argy went well... I thought Martin was killing it in his second run till he stacked it again... Trying just too hard

He’s got the moves, those things can happen in these kind of events.

Our Aussie Sharks are going so well.
Just gotta handle the pressure.

Pressure is a state of mind. Between the ears.

Poor selections and no improvement for more than 12 months. He’s been terrible with a good side.
Don’t tell anyone at the Tigers he’s available, we’re likely to sign him up as assistant coach.

No idea how they do that for so long … it’s looks like such an unnatural movement and surely would be taxing on the joints

Props to our girl for winning bronze though.

Apparently, 3x3 basketball is a new sport at the Olympics.
Why? I don't know, but might reflect basketball's popularity.
And results seem to show that the traditional better country/team eg USA, actually suffer more losses than expected and the lower ranked countries do well.
