The rowers had a tough time of it last night on a very choppy surface.

I thought the opening ceremony was a bit Ho hum, obviously done on the cheap compared to some previous ones

The Americans isolating themselves on their cruise liner might make them more comfy but also may make them a target
 
i have never been this disinterested in Olympics

The negative lead up to the games was enough to put me off
I might watch it if it comes up channel surfing but i might watch for the daily wrap up, might be better value
 
It's a New World Record…

Haha, all the Chinese coming out whingeing that he is not guilty. Then why did he serve a suspension? Do innocent people serve suspensions?

Can't wait for Roy and HG's take on this.
Remember in 2000 when the Americans said they'd "smash us like guitars" then we won the Relay and did the guitar dance. If we beat the Chinese in the relay I think our boys should do a mock needle in the arm dance. That would really give the Chinese something to whinge about.
 
Women and their Guns..Congrats Catherine Skinner Trap Gold Medalist..

Great final in the women's Seven7s Rugby
Aust get the Gold!
NZ the silver
Looking forward to the men's
If Hayne was good enough for the Fifian side , they must be favourites
 
Brazil are gold medallist thieves.

Saw a video doing the rounds on Facebook, far out! They're certainly not scared of being seen.
 
Great to see the Boomers going so well, think they will get a medal this year and I think it will be silver behind team USA

Rugby girls get the gold, great to see

I honest to God didn't realise it had started until this morning when I saw someone reading a newspaper about it.

Without digressing too much off topic I think the amount of money they spent on this is a shame considering how poor some of the Brazilian communities are. The slums like the flavellas, drugs, Zika, illnesses etc…How much did this Olympics cost? Anyway

Well, Dellevadova is getting paid 50 million you would hope he is playing well.

Likewise Bogut (20 Million Aud), Patty Mills (4 Million AUD), Baynes (30 Million AUD) , Bairstow (bulls) (6 Million AUD) , Joe Ingles (7 Million AUD) all on multi million dollar deals that would make the NRL look like peanuts

The boomers are on the rise. A lot of the team didn't even bother with the Olympics. Exum and Simmons for example

Exum still recovering from his injury, Simmons was never going to play after being drafted but will be there in 4 years time, plus Maker who will make an impact on the team

Aussie basketball has an exciting future ahead

Yes Delly got a deal of a life time, he definately isn't worth 50 million but good on him for getting that deal at the right time

The NRL should take a good look at the big 3 American sports and see how professional they are run, my opinion is the NRL couldnt run a chook raffle and is a decade behind the AFL and 5 years behind Rugby Union when it comes to running of the game
