Julia Ratcliffe just won GOLD in the women's hammer. Aussies silver and bronze. Awesome!
We're killing it these games. Well done that ball and chain chucker.
Not sure what our "usual" tally is.
Will have to Google.
We won 14 golds and 45 medals in total last time.
How many realistic gold medal chances do we have left?You ask me that two days ago I'd not have mention Radcliffe or Liti.
At least McCartney and Adams.
@Virgil looks like there's 6 boxers still in the mix at QF and SF stage including Nyika.
@Virgil don't reckon we're a shot at gold for any of the team sports though.

No I wouldn’t bet the house on either the 7s or netball to come through for us..

150 medals up for grabs in the pool. That's where you pour funding to pad your medal tally.
Fucking Australia.

Some of the squash doubles combos - Coll and King? Mountainbikers should be decent shots. Bowls - esp. Edwards and Smith. Shooting - whatsername.

Swimming is a joke. "I'm the fastest doing the technical doggy paddle" Whoppee fuckin' do. The point is to be quickest over a distance. At the same time they can get rid of walking as a sport. Learn to run weirdo.

The Silver Ferns are a giant clusterfuck and have been since Southby took over as coach. The defence do some great things, then our midcourt fuck it up, or if it makes it to the circle, useless shooters like Mes or Selby-Rickitt don't convert. They are not international standard. If you are regularly shooting at less than 85% +, you have no business playing this level.
I actually hope Uganda pull it off against Scotland. Would take a miracle in terms of the goal differential they need (I think it's like 37 goals) but the Silver Ferns don't deserve to make the semis.

Don't these guys just hang out in the village? I'd imagine East is pumping at the moment

If it's percentage (rather than goal diff) it's not just score x number of goals more. Gets messed up for every goal the opposition score. It's a moving target.
(Tried to work it out her daughter's finals last year ... messed too much with my mind ... just wait till the end and see what falls out ...)

@canefan pretty sure there was a similar article written (regurg) at the summer Olympics too.
they were saying on the radio this morning SF need to lose by 10+ and Uganda win by 10+ for SF to miss out I think it was.

Even if we get through it will only delay the inevitable. Throughout my life we have spent the majority of the time playing second fiddle to straya. But this is a fresh hell right now, we are minnow bait

Just crunching some quick numbers based on what the opposition may score:
Uganda would have to win v Scotland (who are averaging 39.5 points per game):
45-10
51-15
58-20
64-25
70-30
76-35
82-40Malawi v Wales would require scores of:
91-10
97-15
103-20
110-25
116-30
122-35
128-40
