I'm sorry but if Aussie coaches are so great it speaks even less highly of your athletes.

Australia: Best coaches in the world, but still sucked. Oh dear.

Maybe you should ask yourself why so many of your coaches would rather work with our guys

I'm sorry but if Aussie coaches are so great it speaks even less highly of your athletes.

I am Team GB, don't really care how the US did.

Did you miss this part:

"If you want to mess with figures like this I believe YORKSHIRE alone got as many gold medals as Australia. Let that sink in mate. YORKSHIRE, is just a single county in England, and they got as many golds as you. Incredible."

You either got hammered by GB altogether, or if you want to diddle with figures you lost to Yorkshire. Either way LOL

humphreys wrote:I really don't think you are letting it sink in that Yorkshire, a single county in England, matched you.

How can you keep making these arguments about Australia being better than England when you cannot even beat a single English county?

Have a good think about that, and think about how you might refute that argument - you can't.

Or do you want to ban Scotland, Ireland, Wales, AND YORKSHIRE from your comparisons?

Face it man, your country needs an overhaul if it wants to redeem itself from future Olympics embarrassment.

Aussies give me the LOLs. Such a proud people, so little to be proud of

If we are Lucky.

God knows the English have done their best to cheat already.

Don't know if you heard but as Australia's best coaches betrayed their nation & went to China & Britain ... ect ect to work for the enemy & the Big Bucks $$$, Australia was forced to employ the third rate coaches from England, ect ect to coach our team.

Oh & 4-5 weeks out from the games the head coaches got tougher & imposed tougher rules & qualification times on Australia's team, & then cut the number of Athletes going to the game in half.

on top of that the British have rigged the draws in the games.

Take a look at field hockey ........ Australia has been the worlds best team for decades & decades, we have been beaten as-well tho.

However @ this Olympics, Australia is the Favorites in both the man & Woman's Events.

& as it so happened ((( ALL ))) Australia's games drown out of the hat/bowl have Australia playing their matches in the Dark @ 3-4-5 am ..... while ((( ALL ))) Britain's matches are in the warmth & light of the sun in the afternoon at around 2-3-4-5 PM in the afternoon.

Just a Lucky draw or 100 draws, for their teams right.

Don't even get me started on the equestrian.

Australia was once again odd on favorites to win the equestrian events.

Then our horses pulled up injured & that was the end of that.

Personally i think it's a the English cheating once again.

I reckon their vets & the English officials, & or customs personal went all Tonya Harding on Australia's horses.


One of Australia’s earliest Olympic medal chances – the three-day eventing equestrian team – remains confident of a strong performance despite two rider withdrawals in less than a week.

Reserve rider Megan Jones pulled out on Thursday after her horse, Allofasudden was ruled lame by vets. Jones had only just replaced Shane Rose and Taurus days earlier when Taurus was vetted out due to soft tissue injury, reducing Rose to tears.

Despite the unsettling chain of events, hopes for the four-member three-day eventing (3DE) team remain high on the eve of the first phase of the grueling event. The dressage component kicks off at London’s Greenwich Park on Saturday and Sunday, followed by the testing 45-fence Cross Country course on Monday, and the final Showjumping event on Tuesday.


Replacement horse Allofasudden scratched.

The Australian equestrian team had lobbied Olympic officials for a replacement team member, but were denied.
reducing the team to four team members down from the 5 needed.

yhe, the thing is the Chinese team, along with the British team, ... swimmers, rowers, bike riders, sailing, so forth, so on, ect ect.

Even the USA has athletes who use to be on the Australian team now representing the USA.

& it's not so much that the Australian coaches betray their nation an coach another country's team for money.

If an Australian coach wishes to coach the Chinese team or the British team, that's all fine an well. ( it's a free world.)


If an Australian coach ( swimming ) or any other sport wants to turn his or her back on their own nation & coach the Chinese or the British for a few extra dollars a year, that's their call.

But were it pisses off Australian's ( like me ) is this.

If an Australian coach decides to turn his or her back on Australia an coaches the Chinese or British team, for a few more dollars, i say let them.

That's right .......... Let them piss of an move to sh#t hole, dust bowl China & train the Chinese in some dirty, toxic Chinese river in the sweltering heat or polluted Chinese city, living in some Chinese hut. ( that's fine )

Or if they wish to coach the British team in the dismal British weather, the cold rain, the bad British hygiene, the diseases & inferior living standards ......... Again that's fine it's a free world.


But no ...... they don't go and live in china or Brittan do they ...... No rather they bring the Chinese & British Athletes over here to Australia, where they use the Swimming pools & beaches, rivers, bike tracks .... ect ect, that the Australian tax payer payed for.

while at the same time preventing other Australian's & future athletes from completing their own training programs.

These athletes from around the world use Australia's sporting facility's & benefit from Australian tax payers funding & in return do nothing for Australia in return, they don't even contribute to Australia through paying tax or charitable services .......

They Blow into Australia, use our facility's, push Australian's out of their way & prevent Australian's from using the very facility's we payed for & then blow out of Australia again.

& then Australia wonders why it's done so bad in the medal tally at this Olympics.

Get over it. You'll do better in the para-olympics because you're a crippled nation anyway.
