    I'm calling suss on the Chinese guy who won the 100m free too. In a slow pool he smokes everyone and sets a new WR? yeah, absolutely nothing to see here.

    “Not humanly possible” said the Aussie swim coach.

    Of course he'd say that. How are the rest of their swimmers? If they were dominating perhaps one could point to a systemic issue.

    I bet if an Aussie or Yank swam that fast they'd be singing a different tune.

    Mens 4 comfortably in second but seem to be slightly falling back off the Yanks.

    Wow. That last 250m from the Americans. I would've sworn with 500m to go they were going to be overtaken.

    Absolutely. We flew that 500-250 to go to get neck and neck then the yanks just took off.

    Brilliant morning. One of each out of 4 races. Can't complain.

    Rowing is where it's at mate. We just annihilated them in the mens 4. Thats all that counts ....

    Seriously though, that is expected isn't it? Hockeyroos (or whetever they're called) are fairly handy.

    That Olympic medal-winning performance was Brooke Francis and Lucy Spoors' first race win since teaming up in the double scull.

    Timing eh. 🙂

    NZ now sitting 11th on the medal table. Not bad for a country of just over 5 million
