Just faded a bit late.

I asked this in the other thread, is this actually true or is it perceived bias?
Great effort Skye. So close to getting through there.

Well that was predictable. Knew she wouldn't get the decision her way.

That 1st Rd which she won but the judges went 3-2 against her was the difference. Had she won that opening round she wins.
Either it's perceived, or there's a worldwide conspiracy amongst international judges against Australia.
I'll let you decide which is more likely

Inexperience?
She won Gold at the last Commonwealth games. This was a bit of a step up but she did us proud with that effort.
I felt she just won that opening round. Judges didn't agree.

Honestly I have no regard for sports that come down to arbitrary ranking based on Judges opinions, whether we win them or not i think they are all bullshit.

It is not a thought out conspiracy it is just a nah **** Australia mind set from a heap of international judges across a heap of sports. Especially Northern Hemisphere judges.Either it's perceived, or there's a worldwide conspiracy amongst international judges against Australia.

Yeah, I have trouble with judged sports too, but there is zero chance they will ever not be in the Olympics so just have to live with it

Ow I know, i just don't care about them.
Have you been listening to Hamish? Porte did not win a Bronze medal today in the Time Trial. Rohan Dennis from Australia got the Bronze.

That was weird...
Anyways
Congrats to Rohan Dennis.

Day 5 summary...
Positives
Rowing - Just brilliant
Titmus - Already a champion
Dennis - Roglic was streets ahead of the race but managed to clinch bronze in a tight race. The first medal outside of the water.
Kookaburras and Hockeyroos continue on their winning ways
Boomers 2/2 despite not playing at their best
del Solar and Clancy 2/2 for Beach Volleyball
Mixed doubles through in the tennis
Negatives
Olyroos - Shit tactics from a shit manager, just sat back and invited the Egyptians to attack. Fair enough against Spain, but a win was needed here. Can't just sit back and hope, and rely on another match for your fortunes. They did exceed expectations (I didn't anticipate any points) but the way they went out was abysmal. At least go out trying.
Nicholson bowing out but is still young and will be ripe to go again in Paris
Both women's doubles crashing out in the tennis
All in all, a brilliant day for the Aussies and a lot to be proud of.

Hooray for Foxy!
Gold at last.
How tough was that?
The Brit was 3 secs quicker than everyone else, Fox watching everyone else go before her and fall well short, she comes out, with all the pressure on her and the weight of expextations and goes bang, 3.6 secs quicker.
That's the performance of the games for us so far and close to the performance of the games overall.
