Maybe this is a different sailing division to the guaranteed ones. In the one they were showing, we had to beat italy by 2 placings apparently. Italy capsised, then we capsised multiple times, so i think we'll be stuck with silver/bronze

Yeah aussies got creamed. Aw well, they weren't expected to win. Most of the other countries usually stack all their best rowers into the eights.

5:13ish for a winning time though, that's absolutely amazing.

aussies guarenteed 2 gold in the sailing apparently. 1 crew has already won on points before the last race and the only way the other crew will lose the gold is if the silver medal contenders finish first and the aussies finish last.

I can't see us winning many more golds with all the water sports wrapping up though.

we have a chance at gold in hockey (men's and females), as well as the water polo (again, both sexes).

also, we're almost guaranteed a gold in the BMX

oh yeah i totally forgot about the water polo. we're in the runnings for a couple of medals in the basketball too (mostly for the women, the mens are a bit of an outside chance).

BMX is new yeah? i never knew we were highly rated in that.

Yeah, first time it'll be included in the olympics. I checked the odds and the aussie guy is at $1.01 payout for winning the race! incredible.

And we def. have a chance for the women's basketball. Will prob get silver though :(

edit: we also have a chance for the women's triathlon. also the men's
