Its a shame the woman's sculls cant also do a 1000m, 500m, 2500m, forward, backwards as well...then we could clean up in the medals like the other countries do in swimming...

At least we have the kayaking to come, Lisa "Big guns" Carrington must be a serious contender again

Lisa Carrington. One should not find someone with shoulders like that so attractive.

[MiketheSnow]

Could have gone in ‘Awesome’ thread but good here

Tanaka wins the creative Olympics

[Stargazer]

Women's 800m freestyle (heat 1).

Thomas at 2nd at the moment.

[Stargazer]

Thomas still in 2nd after 500m.

I watched some 3 x 3 basketball the other night and put it down as some the worst sport I've ever seen.

It's just practice.

I guess you could say that is what weight lifting is too, though

Scrummaging practice will be in there by 2036, I reckon. Maybe the goal kicking practice before the coach turns up,could olympasize that.

Slip cradles by 2040. Or net bowling? Who can best banana bend swing the 2 piece cricket ball.

I'd watch

[Stargazer]

700m, still in 2nd.

[Stargazer]

Thomas wins the heat!!! So good!

She'd snap you like a twig with those arms

Personal best: Thomas takes 6 seconds of her entry time.

How old did they say she is? Only 20?

[Rapido]

A PB.

But what does "shaving 6 seconds off her entry time"mean?

Surely not 6 seconds off her PB?

[Stargazer]

Geez, there's a 13-year-old from Canada in the next heat.

Hwr qualifying time?

Yes according to Stuff.

Summer McIntosh. She's 14.

Finished 4th in the 400 m freestyle final, so very good for her age.

[Stargazer]

Thomas' time in the heat was 8:32:51 according to the Tokyo 2020 website.

On the FINA website it says that her personal best is 8:34:19.

If the FINA website is correct, she didn't take 6 seconds off her pb. It must be her qualifying time.

Earlier this year, at the "Hamilton Qualifying Meet", her time was 8:38:41. I assume that's her qualifying time.

That 8:32:51 is her new PB.

[Stargazer]

Wow, heat 2 was so much faster!

McKintosh finished in 8:25:04.
