Minnows like Canada and England?

Spouse once swimming completed athletics move ahead we'll be pulled back some.

Expecting nothing less. But tell spouse Aussies have plenty of athletic medal chances as well.

King Kyle dethroned, welcome the Flying Flynn!​

Aussie young gun Flynn Southam has dethroned Kyle Chalmers
by winning the blue riband 100m in a sizzling 47.13 over nite.

Australia wins a staggering 28 gold medals in the Glasgow pool – a new Games record.

Unbelievable run by Lachlan Kennedy in the Men's 100m. Silver medal in an Australian Record of 9.85.

Reckon he can go faster. Is still young in sprinter terms.

 

[Richie]

The 400IM is reputed to be the hardest of all swimming events, so I am blown away that of the top 20 Aussie men in this event, 11 are teenagers, two as young as 15, two 16. The women fare even better with 14 of the top 20 being teens, one Lucy Ma only 14. She and Dory Lee, 15, look to be the best female prospects, while Andre Labara, 15 and Leny Grigor, 16, ditto for the males, with both currently ranked in the top 10 nationally.

SMASHING IT SO FAR!!!!!

SMASHING IT SO FAR!!!!!

Who cares?
Lame competition.
If Australia win any more medals, they will get kicked out of the next one!

 

[LFC]

It’s friggin embarrassing tbh.
I don’t know why but it’s an utter joke of a tournament to me now.
First we more so tanked the games.
Near on killed it.
Next we provided Glasgow millions to support them getting us out of the poop.
Farce of a games compared to what it once was.
Sorry to offend but the way I see it.
