dancingbrogues Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think Michael O'Shea might take the omnium - Clancy seems to be quick but not a scrapper, and he should have put clear air between the him, the Ocker and the Dane. O'Shea has both speed and endurance. I wouldn't be too cross if Meares got Pendleton finally. VP already has a gold from London, and her ego isn't especially gracious in victory. She doesn't have to be of course but she's had advantages Meares hasn't - her father was a competition cyclist and the leafy London stockbroker belt is a bit different from a coal mine in Queensland. Meares has a fantastic story, gritty background and recovery from a broken neck and in a 'normal' year would have a lot of Brits cheering for her.

Jonafin Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Australia's 2nd Gold goes to Tom Slingsby!! Well Done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Congrats to Australia..Tom Slingsby will now be a national hero!. Look, the Gold only medal table is kind of unfair...Australia has done really well on the OVERALL table! Which is something to be proud of...NZ would be way down the table on the true count.

Durban Sandshark Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Opals women's basketball team likely will get bronze if they defeat China in the quarterfinals and then face the USA in the semifinals (can't see the Canadians score the mother of all Olympic women's basketball upsets). All because the Opals lost to Les Bleues in group play OT game even with Belinda Snell's game-tying shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
