Yes I saw someone note yesterday that all of Aus and NZ's gold had been won by women. Must check on NZ to see if their men have made any progress yet.

Nothing wrong with admiring the human form…I do it often BUT it shouldn’t be the primary reason we watch them?

Honestly I have barely tuned in. Yesterday when I tried I couldn't get the Nine stream to play. Maybe they have blocked my VPN.
 
GOLDEN DAY ON CLAY! 🥇🥇🎾

Matt Ebden and John Peers have become our first men's doubles Olympic gold medallists since Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge at Atlanta 1996!

Now it's the IOC doing the cock blocking.

Skating into the history books
👏
🥇
🇦🇺

Arisa Trew is the youngest Australian Olympic medallist, passing Sandra Morgan who won Swimming gold in 1956 at the age of 14 years and 183 days. Arisa won Skateboard Park gold at the age of 14 years and 86 days.
 
The Aussie commentators are hilarious in skateboarding! I have NO idea what they’re talking about but their enthusiasm is infectious! Go Mitch and Nick!
 
Thank dog ( thank you @timmy ) the dinghy class sailing FINALLY got underway and actually finished! Umm…calling it off 2/3 through was brutal but perhaps worked in a weird way for Matt Wearn…he only needed to finish 7th to win gold but crossed the line first! Yay!
 
Keegan Palmer an Aussie? I wondered how that could be in Tokyo and I still wonder? Seriously that family are Yanks? I’ll take the gold for us though! Haha!

I had to check as well. Same with the surfers, because they all have yank accents. But it's because they live there I guess haha.

Keegan was born in the US, but moved to the Gold Coast at 1. Went to school here and stayed until he was 14, then moved back to San Diego to pursue his career in Skateboarding. Aussie Dad, South African Mum.

Wikipedia has been getting a severe workout this week lol.
