TOPIC:

So what have we got left in week 2.

We have the five medal chances in the sailing as mentioned earlier.

They reckon we might win a medal or two on the horses.

The golfer is still up there.

Don't like our chances in any of the team sports apart from basketball (Maybe)

Anything else?

Waterpolo , girls maybe

Hockey

Equestrian as you say.

Forget track n field

Searched boxing, nothing i can see much there for us.

Diving , maybe.

Pity about Matildas it was a hearbreaking exit.

Womens beach volley ball a chance.

Grassy are you happy with the way Australia is going so far in Rio.
Bazza one of thoes less known sports will deliver us a surprise Gold this Week.Wont be Table Tennis but something else.

Australia v Great Britain 1976 to 2016

*TP = 3 for G, 2 for S, 1 for B
(2) = overall placing

Another epic fail, the Kookaburras smashed 4 Nil by Netherlands.

Worse performance in 44 years.

Men's Waterpolo lost first up to Serbia , but have beaten Greece.

Reality is they are unlikely to get far in the finals and have never matched it with the likes of Hungary.

Women are a far better chance.

I'm afraid to say that we've also slipped in two of the five sailing events where we are a medal chance.

From 3rd to 10th in the Finn Men.

From 1st to 4th in Nacra Mixed.

Still 3nd, 2nd and 6th in the other three.

GB certainly got their act together in the past few Olympics...their low 96 medal tally looks like it might have led to a change of approach....nice work their La Hincha

Thanks DW

Time for Aus to do the same.

First time out of the top 10 since 1988 now looking likely with gold medal chances drying up rapidly.

I wonder how many millions of taxpayers dollar$ have been spent for each medal?

Have the GB Olympic athletes not been funded by a UK lottery since the turn of the century?
