How come we haven't got anyone who can make the start line in either marathon?

Couldn't they let Liza Hunter-Galvan out of the pen for a couple of days?

I think Zane or Jake would be massive chances for gold here if they were fit enough.

Chris B.

@hydro11 Zane has stepped up to marathon distance but is injured, I think?

You'd think we'd have some other capable marathon runners though!

Meanwhile the Silver Ferns are crumbling in their bronze match. At threequarter time they've had more shots than the Jamaicans but are trailing by half a dozen points.

@canefan Does there have to be an investigation or is the "You're fired" email to Southby already drafted and finger hovering over the send button?

She should have an "I quit" version already on its way!

Chris B.

Clawing their way back - down by four with five minutes to play.

Need to pressure a choke from the Jamaicans.

Chris B.

But the Jamaicans pressure the choke from them. Score four in a row!

Bronze or no bronze, the loss to Malawi should seal Southby's fate

Finally over, if they were a horse it would be taken out back and shot

Silver Ferns lose 55-60. I'm really glad they didn't get up. They didn't deserve a medal.

I swear Bailey Mes must have incriminating pics of someone. Why the fuck she keeps making it into the starting line up I don't know. Actually felt sorry for Folau, she was having to work three times as hard, and try and take as many shots as she could which is ridiculous for a GA. Your GS should be your gun.

In happier news, King and Landers-Murphy take the first set in the women's doubles squash final.

Gold!!
Shame King can’t play netball...

Mokey

Was an anti-climatic way to win, with a no let, but YAY GOLD!! Joelle has played some seriously awesome squash, and I think was quite happy to get her own back on the Indian chick.

Not a violent person but Janine Southby has a beet punchable face
Could see how gutted Katrina Grant was, the coach looked more annoyed at the questions (the questions were more then justified)

Cyprus has kicked our arses in the per capita medals count!

Was wondering why they insisted on Folau throwing in from the baseline when she is the better shooter except based on the bibs they were wearing.

@virgil Did they ask her if she was resigning?

If she said no, you could follow up with an, "Ah, waiting to be sacked then, eh?"

Any link?

@Mokey from Stuff:

With starting goal shoot Te Paea Selby-Rickit bedridden with a virus, New Zealand started Bailey Mes in her place. Mes again struggled with her shooting and was subbed in the third quarter for Ameliaranne Ekenasio.

Explains half of why she was starting

Mokey

@chris-b Any sports journo worth their salt should be laying into Southby. You can't argue with the facts, under her watch the Ferns have slid backwards at an alarming rate.
