      @Damo Can those Canadians not win anything else?

      I've been taunting a Canadian friend that we were poised to strike.

      We won the high jump - and those feckers came back with gold in breakdancing!

      And that stupid C1 canoeing to match Lydia! 🙂

      If we are tied on golds I think that means we win because the breakdancing is only worth half a medal.

                      Five Million People.

                      Ten Gold Medals.

                      What an amazing performance by Team New Zealand.

                          Has any country of New Zealand's population ever got into double figures in terms of Golds before?

                            Scary thing is she is only 24. She could totally dominate again come LA 2028

                                          Squash is for 80s stockbrokers

                                          Losing wrestling and boxing is disgraceful. The nation directly behind us on the medal table will be furious.

                                          You should be pushing for Squash. Paul Coll is a good bet for a medal. He's the Commonwealth champ. But he'll be 36 in 2028.

                                          Might be a bridge too far for Joelle King unfortunately.

                                          And I'm guessing you haven't seen squash since the 80s.

                                          It's fast and furious.

                                          And yes, losing the core sports for faddish fuckwittery is very disappointing.
