Can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of the synchronised swimming. I mean who watches it?

Boomers knocked out by a cohesive Serbian team.
Three time NBA Dally M winner, Nikola Jokic shows why he deserves such plaudits to put away the Aus team in overtime.
Good game but perhaps one that got away in the end.
Time for a overhaulComment

Certainly not me. It's a ridiculous "sport".Originally posted by mightyrooster View Post1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.Comment

It's called Artistic Swimming - A wonderful spectacle - Ballet on and in the Water - Would the legendary Prima Ballerina Margot Fonteyn be good at Artistic Swimming - Yes for certain - Artistic Swimmers require amazing stamina and flexibility and the ability to hold their breath under water for over 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutesOriginally posted by mightyrooster View Post

I’m not having a go at the athletes Salvo as they are all amazing and I could never do what any of them do. I just find the sport as a spectacle boring to watch.Comment

Four golds overnight see us hit 18 gold medals Our greatest ever haul in a day and at the Olympics over all.
With 3 of these being won by men perhaps this will stop the sexist comments belittling our male athletes being made by a certain poster hereLast edited by Andrew Walker; 08-08-2024, 08:19 AM.I respect all our moderators here.

It's a great achievement and agreed... now is a time to celebrate the athletes and their achievements across multiple sports. No more needs to be said other than that all these medalists are amazing and they're all Australian!Originally posted by Andrew Walker View PostComment

Sorry you see my comments as sexist. They were only intended as a bit of fun. I love all of our athletes and support them all. I will cease to participate in commentary from now on.Originally posted by Andrew Walker View PostComment

That last sentence sees you come across like a former prolific poster on this site who now chooses to frequent t this place on an irregular basis. My comment was only a bit of fun as wellOriginally posted by mightyrooster View PostI respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future.

Don't stop commentating MR, i have enjoyed it, lol i was going to have a cheeky swipe saying finally the men have started lifting their weight now and it would have been all tongue in cheek as i'm certain Andrew Walkers comments were more meant as a bit of fun.Originally posted by mightyrooster View PostComment

Oh Andy please don’t say that. There’s been a lot of angry, nasty and sometimes abusive stuff being said on the Chookpen lately which I haven’t been enjoying. It’s hard to keep up with what’s fun and what’s not these days. I also haven’t been feeling the best the past week so sorry if I’m a bit sensitive at the moment, but my comments about the ladies success was not trying to be political.Originally posted by Andrew Walker View PostComment
