Aussies Aussie Watch - Tokyo 2021

[Drummond]

Drummond for you Day XX thread later tonight

Amazing thanks haha! Seriously I’m not sure why I’ve put them together every night around midnight when I’m wrecked and half asleep! When the schedule, for the most part, is out well in advance!

 

[catstorm]

Surely we'll arse another unexpected one. If we win the Hockey that'll give us 16.

Just need to pull one from nowhere to get to 17.

We are still a show in the women’s beach volleyball, in the semi having just knocked out the number 1.

Skateboarding is back in the park today and tomorrow but still devestated that the master Shane O'Neil didn't show the country what a magician he is with a skateboard

 

[Chism]

Do we have a serious Medal chance in the Men’s edition of park skating??

No. Yanks.

 

[JP Sauce]

Melissa Wu off to a good start in the 10m diving qualifying, by the looks of it.

 

[pepsi]

We are on a medal alert in the men's skateboarding right now.

Keegan Palmer leads with a score of 94 after his first run. Every skater gets 3 runs. Best score counts.

One hand on the gold! Legit double medal chance here

16 gold medals for Australia.

Gold for Australia in the kayak with Green and van der Westhuyzen getting up in a nail-biter.

 

[Pedantic]

What a 15 minutes for Australia!

 

[pepsi]

RECORD! IT'S A RECORD!

17 GOLD AUSTRALIA

% of gold medals at the Olympic Games

Total number of gold medals/total number of events

1956 (Melbourne) = 13/151 (8.61%)
2004 (Athens) = 17/301 (5.65%)
1960 (Rome) = 8/150 (5.33%)
2000 (Sydney) = 16/300 (5.33%)
2020 (Tokyo) = 17/339 (5.01%)
1896 (Athens) = 2/43 (4.65%)
2008 (Beijing) = 14/302 (4.64%)
1972 (Munich) = 8/195 (4.10%)
1952 (Helsinki) = 6/149 (4.03%)
1964 (Tokyo) = 6/163 (3.68%)
1996 (Atlanta) = 9/271 (3.32%)
1968 (Mexico City) = 5/172 (2.91%)
1992 (Barcelona) = 7/257 (2.72%)
2012 (London) = 8/302 (2.65%)
2016 (Rio de Janeiro) = 8/306 (2.61%)
1932 (Los Angeles) = 3/117 (2.56%)
1924 (Paris) = 3/126 (2.38%)
1900 (Paris) = 2/95 (2.11%)
1912 (Stockholm) = 2/102 (1.96%)
1984 (Los Angeles) = 4/221 (1.81%)
1988 (Seoul) = 3/237 (1.27%)
1980 (Moscow) = 2/203 (0.99%)
1928 (Amsterdam) = 1/109 (0.92%)
1908 (London) = 1/110 (0.91%)
1948 (London) = 1/136 (0.74%)
1904 (St Louis) = 0/95 (0.00%)
1936 (Berlin) = 0/129 (0.00%)
1920 (Antwerp) = 0/156 (0.00%)
1976 (Montreal) = 0/198 (0.00%)

20 Gold medals would surpass Athens under this criterion.

We'd need to win 29 or 30 gold medals to surpass the 1956 Olympics Gold medal tally.

Overall, we've had a great Olympics. Well done to all athletes for equalling the magic 17 gold medals.

Moloney with our first ever medal at the Decathlon at just 21, incredible stuff! Again, individual brilliance and heartbreak in the team ball sports. A seemingly too common occurrence in the Olympics for us. Hopefully the Boomers can snare bronze and the beach volleyball girls can get gold.

Awesome find, thanks!

Also, that should be everyone in Victoria first day of lockdown sorted!

We are going to beat our 17 gold record. I can feel it.

I think Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar can win the beach volleyball tomorrow.

Its gonna be tough to get another one if they don't win. Maybe Light Heavyweight boxer Nathan Garside can be the surprise gold medalist for this games. Although the K-2 1000m guys who won today would challenge him for that title.
