Both Men/Women’s teams have stuffed it up big time.
Willett in the shooting also had a choke in the final.
Seems like a bad day for the aussies so far
A rapid start, an explosive turn and a trademark powerhouse finish with the race on the line - that’s how Kaylee McKeown defended her Olympic 100m Backstroke crown to continue Australia’s golden run in the pool at the Paris La Défense Arena.

Those three he missed in a row ruled him out. Hopefully he learns from it and he's back in LA.
That is one of the most brain-dead teams of all time and coming from a long-term Wests Tigers fans I speak from lengthy experience. Close to the best team in the world and they come home with nothing. First in the semi they let Canada run 80m from a penalty untouched to swing the momentum. Then in the bronze game they're up at full-time and let an American run 90m up the guts through awful defence. The Levi sisters were good, the rest should walk home. Thank Christ I don't have to watch union for another 4 years. The referees make the NRL look magnificent.
In summary, shit effort = no medal.

He was poor in his final, 1st person out and missed the easy shots. Went in as one of the Favs + joint holder of the world record.

She has 4 olympic gold medals and 3 of those are individual.
Not discussed in the same breath as Mckeon and Titmus but every bit as good.

I thought the short Levi was average at best. She should ring AJ Flipper hands (you know that gun riff winger), they can have little flipper handed kids together.
Just call me Greg Evens. (That’s one for the oldies).
The big Levi, we have a spot on the wing for her, Jesus Christ, she would murder some of the wingers we’ve had, MWZ, Kieth, Rankin, Nofo, I’m sure there’s worse.
The quick taps were BS, twice we got done on the bell and the ref let them tap and run.
Yeah that was pretty devastating considering their form all through and the high expectations coming into the games, maybe complacency was the problem, who knows. Being beaten back to back by Rugby-novice nations such as Canada and the USA is inexcusable really.
A real chance for another couple of medals yet too!
