How many events have Australia choked at? I witnessed at least two yesterday how many total during these olympics?
>Their cheating deathmarcher chokes and finishes 2nd
>Their best Olympic basketball team ever chokes and doesn't finish in what should have been a guaranteed medal
We choked about 5 swimming events where we were "best in the world", both BMX racers, the basketball and that 10k swimmer who lead for 9k. Also a few of the rowing events.
Honestly we should have had 15 gold medals if you go on past performance in those events over the last year. The AOC predicted 15 golds.
They need to tear apart the whole organization and just copy the Brits. Whatever they did has failed for a 2nd time in a row.
>shit performances
>poor athlete behavior
The wimmenz basketball team choked too and lost to a much worse side, it's honestly hard to keep up with at this point.
I was thinking that it's because millennial Australians are the first truly pampered generation of Aussies. The Olympians of earlier were closer to the hard bastard Aussie battler stereotype whereas these ones are still comfortable even if they lose. There was an aspect of "making it" from nowhere if you won before, now the athletes feel entitled to it and will quit out of spite when they lose.
The British have taken the US route and developed professional institutions and funding, while we just rely on the same crap we were doing 20 years ago but with weak willed millennials and far less money than was being spent in 2000.
Campbell sisters got BLACKED in the village and choked
Their polevaulter choked, letting BASED, ELITE and MUSCULAR Eliza take the bronze
all our golds have been complete flukes desu
Less money is being spent because we're not gearing up to host, like Britain were/have been either side of 2012.
Choked the 50km deathmarch as well
Not to mention Men's rugby, and both Men and Women's basketball and Hockey
To be fair, our women's soccer team would've been a coinflip for gold if they didn't get cheated by Brazil
>All that shit Australians were talking the first 3 days
16 gold 58 overall - Sydney
17 49
14 46
8 35
8 29 - Rio
Australia?
Mens Hockey team too. Ranked #1 in the world with a bullet. Literally plane lands in rio we win gold. No medal.
It's time for another friendly reminder kids:
archive.4plebs.org
shes a fucking honey, you should make her queen of NZ
who gives a fuck about /hoc/ during the summer olympics?
Autism
in addition nobody gives a single fuck about field hockey. male or female nobody cares.
they inserted corporate types into the head of the Olympic committee, swimming Australia etc. In the early 2000's we had gold medallists and athletes holding these positions
"I was really happy with my performance, it would have been nice to get a medal, I gave it my best shot, but I am just so happy to be here competing" etc etc
...
>How many events have Australia choked at?
Almost as many as the Netherlands
>Cambell sisters
>Mack in 1500m
>bunch of other swimmers
>death march guy pulled out of the 20km walk and choked in the 50km walk
>Matildas
>both basketball teams
>both hockey teams
>long jumper fouled all three jumps
>couple of rowers
truly the darkest timeline
Don't fret, Aussies. Surfing is coming in 2020!
We'll choke in that too to John John Florence or someone like that
So, will the girl's rugby sevens team be the ones to be the most famous after these games?
No one gives a fuck about rugby sevens, they've already been forgotten.
It'll probably be our gold medalist in the modern pentathalon who's remembered most because of the meme event she won it in while everyone else choked around her.
>BMX racers literally won every single race of the semis with ease
>both choked in the one gold medal race
When will BMX come home, mates?
If you want to see a squad of Aussies getting a thrashing check the rugby union game. It's embassy 2bh
australia has the harshest drug testing in the world with our athletes being tested significantly more than any other country; our athletes also need to be tested for 2 years before the olympics take place meaning we can't go to the USA and train without still finding a way to be tested and show ASADA we are drug free
that and the fact ASADA's penalties are worse than WADA's AND if you are an athlete in australia and you are caught selling drugs you can get banned (even if you aren't using)
the fact australia gets any gold medals in the olympics shows how much of a joke the rest of your roided up monkeys are
How much of an idiot are you? We all knew this was going to happen, and no one except for China gets anywhere near USA's medal tally.
>need to tear apart the whole organization and just copy the Brits
The Brits copied us after they won 1 gold in Atlanta. They also fund it with shitloads of dosh from national lotto and pinched a lot of our best coaches. Why do you suppose they're so good at cycling and other sports we used to get a lot more medals in?
mens and womens hockey
both were gold medal favourites and got BTFO in the quarters
holy fuck, you LITERALLY post on Sup Forums for atleast 9-12 hours a day
put your mother out of her misery and off yourself you pathetic piece of shit
>both BMX racers
That shit seems like a lottery. Or at least the start is so important that if you get out infront you're good.
No, you don't give a fuck. You're not everyone.
Well fucking throw money at them until they come back.
I wrote London off as a fluke (we won a lot of silvers) but now it seems we're in an embarrassing decline. Australia is supposedly a sporting nation and these performances are unacceptable.
They need to strip funding from shit like AFL and NRL stadiums and fund stuff we can win in on a world stage. No one else cares about our meme handegg codes. Let sponsors fund that shit alone.
>That shit seems like a lottery.
It isn't. The same riders have been dominant over years.
Kayak last night too, favourites, finished last.
Anna Meares didn't even make the final of her pet event.
JUST
>Anna Meares didn't even make the final of her pet event.
Now she doesn't have her arch nemesis Pendleton to bounce off she might have lost the hunger.
At least based Chloe won a gold out of nowhere.
Everyone else can hang their heads in shame. Especially the swimmers.
>they'll never chase each others bottoms on live TV again
>they will only ever do it behind closed doors
Anna Meares is ancient though.
The problem is the replacement generation aren't champions, they're merely participation trophy winners. All the young Australians in the cycling were just top 10 and no better.
>Kitty Chiller lets the woman off the hook
abc.net.au
really makes you think
time to watch some live choking
Kitty Chiller needs to be sacked. They managed to fuck up after a review announced changes following London.
>Americans still buttblasted about per capita
that was pretty dank
did the exact opposite of choking
>lives in hungary
really makes you think
Thorpe was the beginning of the end
>wah practice is boring i quit
>The problem is the replacement generation aren't champions
Despite our success these games, I see this happening to us, as well.
Side effect of living in countries during the Internet/Smartphone age. Entertainment is cheaper than ever and kids would rather lazily chase fuckin' Pokemon or click the like button on facebook than go outside and play sports.
Sporting goods sales in the US is at an all-time low, as well.
>I see this happening to us, as well.
Nah, Australia is a substantially wealthier (median income is far higher than America) and more spoilt country than America. I say that as someone who has lived in America for over a year, so you can't possibly argue me.
In America, the minimum wage is $8/hour and if you fail, there is no welfare state that is going to bail you out. It is a far more ruthless society than our nanny state which rewards laziness and incompetence.
regardless, we were promised a hoard of super fast boongs inspired by Cathy after 2000s. Literally not one.
No, "we" were not "promised" anything by anyone
that happened exclusively in your head
child, I was 20 when it happened, we were promised exactly what I said.
Thorpe put in the work and got 5 gold though. The current generation can barely get one gold:
>Magnussen chokes in 2012
>doesn't even come in 2016
>Campbell sisters win WCs
>choke in multiple events at Olympics
>Horton wins 400m
>loses dismally in 1500m
I think every swimmer who has joined since 2012 is weak as fuck. We were fortunate the 2000-era swimmers lasted as long as they did through to Beijing.
I await to see whether 18 year old Kyle Chalmers wins again in 2020 and builds an actual legacy or if he just vanishes like the ones from 2012.
get off Sup Forums, dad
people like you are as bad as the media. You clearly know jack shit (not saying I do, but even I can see you are talking out of your ass) and make sensationalist claims
>Horton wins 400m
>loses dismally in 1500m
Horton was NEVER a favourite for the 1500m. Even if he did his PB, he would only have got Bronze.
But just like every other retard in this country, you fell for the Channel 7 meme of calling him the new Hackett or Perkins or whatever
They all went to the AFL, mate.
AFL and NRL swallow most of our best athletes. The USA can survive NFL and baseball because they're massive. We can't.
so ignore the one-sided funding >per capita towards abbo athletes, ignore all of the infrastructure put into desert shitholes. You think they didn't want a pay-off? And they didn't over-promise and completely undeliver?
Abos are only 2%of the population. I don't expect them to start getting regular golds until white Australia is racking up at least 20 every olympics.
what the genuine fuck are you talking about? Are you UNIRONICALLY implying that Australias Olympic failure is down to the lack of Abo sprinters?
KEK
The government sinks billions of dollars into Abos, the vast majority of which has nothing to do with sport and most of it yields little to no results. Sport has nothing to do with it
Import more Brits.
I'm talking specifics to what we're talking about. Not just sprinters, half-olympic size swimming pools put out in the middle of fucking nowhere. Alice Springs has a better athletics track than Adelaide's.
The AOC poured money into this shit, are you UNIRONICALLY saying the gross mismanagement of funds of this nature has no effect on outcomes? Could've bought the Campbell sisters a pretty fucking sweet psychologist to stop that choke at least.
>lack of Abo sprinters
GL teaching Abos discipline and work ethic
>tfw one of em chimps out in an Olympic wrestling match screaming "OURLANDYACUNTS!!!"
saved to my American banter folder lads
To add:
>McEvoy Fastest Aus freestyler and swam 47.00 in relay leg
>bombs out in 100m and again in 50m
Other past chokers include Sullivan.
I think another issue is that the commonwealth games is not competition enough for aus swimmers. SHould look at what germany and hungary did and do a great britain and fund athletes in uncompetitve and obscure fields and import east african distance runners and Caribbean track and field specimen. Also fund weightlifting and get in slavs and pacific islanders.
>men's basketball
>choked
you went out to an objectively better team who completely dominated you
in women's basketball you choked really hard, though
Tens of millions of tax payer money are given to these little shits and they act like princesses and schoolkids goofing off. I remember the stillnox fiasco at London and apparently the swimming team are still being cunts to the other athletes.
Our head team pyschologist was pinched by GB.
Send more convicts to literal Monster Island, you say?
4 Medals
