Anyone else disappointed with our swimmers See Darcy bombed out of the semis...may as well have been barred from being selected. Also disappointment for Emily Seebolm (spelling) as she really did try and win gold for Australia... Absolute nail-biter in the Women's basketball with that huge on the siren shot made from outside the half-way line to force the game into O/T. Too bad we couldn't win

Havn't really got in to the Olympics that much this time around, It could be to do with the coverage on 9, There seems to be to many ads and just focussing on **** events, Sounds like HDT and Wrighty are better off because they have Foxtel, Which gives heaps more choices.

6. The only swimming weapon of mass destruction we have over there is Grant Hackett. LOL! ;D ;D ;D 1. Really enjoying the rowing! 2. Really enjoying the weightlifting 3. Really enjoying the swimming - not so much for our swimmers though - a little disappointing but you can't have it your way all the time, even Phelps is not getting it his way! 4. Also enjoyed the shooting and archery! 5. Love the Gymnastics - those girls and may I say blokes are frickin INCREDIBLE with what they can do with their bodies, strength and agility. Boring 1. Dressage 2. Boxing 3. People bagging the swim team 4. people bagging our athletes. Looking forward to: 1. The velodrome 2. Sally Pearson 3. The rest of the rowing 4. Mens 100m 5. Womens 100m

The missile lost by 0.01 in the 100 Metres freestyle, I watched the race and I must say he was very unlucky.

When we wore gold caps we won gold medals. Can't be just a coincidence...

And yet we still have only 1 Gold medal after failing again today to score gold. Seems the USA and GB are rubbing it into our faces!

Swimming in Australia has declined since the golden times of Thorpe, Hackett, Jones, Lenton etc etc.
Wasn't long ago that you could flick to channel nine and watch some telstra style trial somewhere, not anymore.
Apart from that I am happy for our swimmers and what they have achieved.
Media just expected way too much of them.
As for D'Arcy, every dog has their day!
Olympics are slowly starting to wane for me!

Too right donk...be glad to never see him again...yeah the Australian team has probably performed below expectations but the medals we have achieved especially that one in white water rafting we should be immensely proud of
