i dont understand why they are performing so badlyCoaches don't look happy, suggesting that they're not performing as expected.
The Aussies are strong in the swimming which has obviously finished now, I think we will end up ahead of them again.We comfortably beat the Aussies in 2008 2012 2016 and 2021

Looking at the BBC app, it might work out okay for them. Finishing 3rd means they'll avoid the NZers in the semi final. They'll be up against the 'muricans. Which won't be easy, either. But the Kiwis seem to be the fancied team in this?Coaches don't look happy, suggesting that they're not performing as expected.

Qualified third against some very strong teams - the cycling has got a lot tougher as the other teams have caught up with our technology (and less asthmatics post rag brailsford). I certainly wouldn’t be expecting 8 golds in the cycling, I think 3 or 4 would be remarkablei dont understand why they are performing so badly
