It's funny how most of the sports we win medals in, we are sitting down. Kayaking, Rowing, Cycling and Sailing.

On our arses. I still remember the LA Olympics headline in the Oz papers ..

Are those breakdancing videos legit? It's an actual competitor and not some warm-up comic act? Ive seen better breakdancing from kids in shopping centres. Must be a pisstake.

Paris looking beautiful for the Olympic men's marathon.

Good start for Aimee Fisher. Leading her semi final at half way.

Aimee Fisher wins her semi final!

Dame Lisa Carrington cruises into the final with a faster time than Aimee Fisher.

It's going to be a great battle between them in the final.

Carrington will win. The pressure will be too much for Fisher. I hope they can go 1-2

Any idea of a stream where we can watch this race?

@DaGrubster Discovery.

Tae kwon do looks stupid.

@sparky

You have to pay for that..!?

Metraux hits her tee shot into the water. Nerves already? Lids, looking resplendent in black, seems relaxed and drives her shot into the heart of the fairway

Carrington and Fisher lining up for the K1 500m final. Here's hoping for a Kiwi 1-2 🙏

[canefan]

Lisa too good, Fisher comes fourth? Unbelievable

[antipodean]

Well done Carrington. Fischer left too much to do in the last 250m.

[Donsteppa]

Awesomely and unsurprisingly, another gold for Carrington after soaking up the early pressure. Fisher left her run at bronze too late from the back of the race.

[antipodean]

That Hungarian has guns that would put a lot of men to shame.

[sparky]

That is Gold Medal number eight for Dame Lisa.

Time to put her on a bank note.

Lisa for ABs coach!
