What are you looking at dicknose
4th for Aussie men's 100m relay
Yeah, incredible the media attention that's on that. About 5% of focus on the gold, silver and bronze earned so far in the pool and the rest on James Magnussen failing to perform. It's probably the wake-up call he needs anyway, he's a young bloke and after his past successes he probably thought it'd be a walk in the park.
Hoping Leisel Jones gets a medal so she can wallop a few cunts on the head with it.
Also, I wanted more coverage on the women's hockey result. I thought that was pretty good.

Australia not doing bad in the heats of the swimming, but they're killing it in the rowing.
If Australia didn't make such a big thing about it they wouldn't look so dumb.
The interviews were funny:
"So it seems you didn't win Gold like you're supposed to"
"Wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh"
"Or any other medal"
"Wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh"
"And got beaten by the French"
"Wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh"
"What were you thinking?"
"Wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh"
Its a game, the future of the nation doesn't depend on it, luckily - considering they sucked into 4th place.

It's kind of funny how everyone is focussing on Magnussen. It's not as if the relay team has three other members or anything...Ty wrote:

I think swimming two seconds behind his PB is something no one expected.
Slalom canoeing? Really?

Intense table tennis was interrupted for dressage. Fuck you NBC.
Well the channel that broadcasts the Olympics here thought it would be a really good time to change their digital signal and now it's shit and constantly breaking up. I live in the centre of the nation's capital city and they can't provide a decent service. Yay NZ infrastructure.
NZ womens quad sculls rowing team were doing so well. Last in first 500m, 4th at 1000m, 3rd at 1500m, putting on a big sprint finish, drawing in the front two boats and then bam, an oar snaps. Have to limp home dead last. Watched the men's quad sculls as well and I think the US team suffered an equipment problem too, early on they dropped back considerably and spent the rest of the race catching up. They almost did too but the Swiss just edged them out. NZ team won that one.
Keeping an eye on the three-day eventing too. Mark Todd is an exceptional horseman, he would be in medal contention on a dairy cow.
Edit: Oh for fuck's sake Australia, get over yourself. Started at work and hearing the Olympic coverage. "Heartbreak for Australia at the Olympic Games". Why? Oh because Emily Seebohm only won silver. Why do you hate your athletes Australia? They do their absolute best and the media just rubs it in when someone else does better. Seebohm is an exceptional athlete and silver is an exceptional achievement. No doubt she is disappointed that she couldn't quite make the gold so why on earth is it productive to start calling her effort 'heartbreaking'? Heartbreaking is the aforementioned NZ quad sculls team who were knocked out in the heats due to an equipment failure. Heartbreaking isn't being considered the favourite and coming second instead in a very tough field. Seebohm may be disappointed she couldn't push herself that bit further, she has the right to be. The media on the other hand has no right to weight down an great achievement by dragging her through the dirt.
Christ, the Olympics is meant to be about the competition anyway not the result.

I've been working in the Australian media for over two years, believe me I know. Exposure to it doesn't make it any less stupid.
John Birmingham in the National Times wrote an opinion piece on it, calling Australia an obese, unfit nation that's too quick to judge.
"We’re quick to judge Liesel Jones, who could probably swim two or three laps of an Olympic pool in the time it took us to drag our fish-white, beer-bloated carcasses across the width of an inflatable kiddy pool, even when motivated by the lure of getting to a soggy packet of Kettle chips on the other side before the dog gets its thieving snout in there."

US not dominating in the pool is a bit of a suprise. Locte being spanked by a frenchie and phelps has taken too many bong hits.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
gymnastics is so stupid
Australian media is bloody tiring.
"Now the News: First we're going to report how many GOLD MEDALS Australia has won and how more athletes are going to win GOLD MEDALS to add to their colllection of GOLD MEDALS then we'll interview an athlete with his GOLD MEDALS talking about how great it is to win GOLD MEDALS sand how he's gutted he didn't win more GOLD MEDALS no wait we're interrupting this to go live to the swimming where Australia is going to win GOLD MEDALS because we always win GOLD MEDALS and no-one else ever wins GOLD MEDALS because the GOLD MEDALS are rightfully ours and no-one else is allowed to win the GOLD MEDALS because the team have all said they're going to win GOLD MEDALS ands they've been working towards GOLD MEDALS all year and their coach has said GOLD MEDALS are their priority and Australia always wns GOLD MEDALS and always will win GOLD MEDALS"

Fuck Israel
I just fucking hate how they show swimming swimming swimming swimming and hardly anything else, unless an Australian might (not) win a medal. Show me one of the many sports which I never, ever get to see outside the Olympics, cunts. Like handball.

iQ is loaded with archery, fencing, skeet, rifle/pistol shooting etc.
But the mainstream media - swimmers crying get more time than all the other sports put together.
