Australian Thread
 

This is where we boast about how much better than the UK we are, because we'll win more gold medals.

We don't need to boast, we know that's the bloody truth. We are gun. When does it start again??

I'd start an India thread but I guess this would have to do for me.

Who are our big medals chances this time around? Anybody have a clue?

I saw something on the news about that cabbie driver of Indian descent whose apparently a gun wrestler, and if he wins a gold medal, he'll be the first Australian of Indian descent to do so. That'll be cool.

Wonder if he looks anything like him :ph34r:

Sandeep Kumar. Think he only qualified because Oceania has a certain quota of athletes tbh.

Sucks to be Nick D'Arcy... That is all.

Haha, reckon we'll come 3rd, behind China and, of course, the US.

So you think we'll finish in front of Russia? interesting...

I reckon we'll struggle a bit and finish around 7th to 9th which is still a fair effort.

Backing Grant Hackett to be flabby in general.

Yeah, reckon you're about right.

Supposedly finished 13th at the recent worlds, or is ranked 13th in the world. One or the other.

No, that's Tony Popovic. He retired from the Socceroos a couple of years ago. http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/...cm_537c5f3.jpg

Indeed, but only 16 people qualify for wrestling and it's usually 1 from each continent.

Nobody else's fault but his though.

Expecting swimming to be an absolute rort. The suits they're wearing streamline the swimmers to a ridiculous degree. World records will tumble, and plenty. Think most of them have fallen this year.

Will tune in regardless.

love olympics, wont be suprised to see Australia get off to a bang and then fade once the athletics comes around
