The women's 4x100 are very good. Great medal chance in that.

You've not listened carefully enough, jim! The 'foreigners with little idea of English/Aussie pronunciation made Ian Thorpe into Jan Torp. Say Jan Torp with a bit of a French accent and there yer 'ave it!Who the fuck is "Jan Torp"?

I think it could be improved if they sloshed a few gallons of sump oil on the last lap!Have you watched it ? It's a great spectacle to watch, absolutely mad.

Just run it 1 or 2 days before the other relays.It's probably due to the other relays later on that they don't.
Not too sure it would have changed too much, we would have had a better chance with Hudson-Smith and Dobson.
Not convinced Mclaughlin would have ran for the US, she seems a bit race shy.

Just seen the relay team interviewed. They all seem well grounded individuals.

I wanna have a bit of a rant from the other day. What's the point of mixed doubles in archery? It's not like there's any sort of teamwork involved. It's just the same as the singles except you take turns with someone else. It seems like it's mainly an excuse to give South Korea another medal. If you're going to do that, why not have mixed doubles in the shooting too? Or shot put? Or javelin? Or high jump?

Yeah, she’s been absolutely dominate for a long time.
She’s the most decorated female American Olympic athlete in history now, I think.
