Rio 2016 - Aussie Aussie Aussie - Oi Oi Oi

That usually is the death of an athlete. Sadly we live in an attention seeking, publicity hungry environment where people value quick bucks. Unless you are exceptional e.g. Usain Bolt, such publicity will harm an athletes career. You only need to look at one of team GB's examples i.e. the diver Tom Daley, he's a famous gay face, has books out, loves the limelight and he came last in his solo event. In the double he took bronze just about. Most of our athletes are warned to shun the spotlight, they take their training seriously.

Well, yes, that's usually spell the end of an athlete, people starting to get too much attention and instead of going back to do what they do to get to that point, they just lost themselves in the sea of medias and social medias

A lot of our rowing and cycling were pushed out because these people that done great in Athens and Beijing did not follow up, the name of the game should be the older generation athletes doing good than inspire a new generation of athletes, instead, the older generation inspire the newer generation to become a TV queen.......You see how good we are in 2000 Sydney Olympic and dominate the pool with the American in Athens (we got 7 and they got 12), then move on to Beijing still good with 5 gold, then suddenly in London, we only got 1. Folks like Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett all inspire people to become a TV star instead of Olympic Athletes.

On the other hand, the US Swim team manage to get their people feet on the ground, you don't know that many team USA swimmer beside a few great one, but most medallist you have had never heard of. That help keeping the American swimmer to get real and focus on what's important.

Totally agree.

Here is one "athlete" you should give the boot to;


Came sixth in her heat, 37th in the world...Terrible runner and a waste of Aussie tax dollars.


At least she got to do her little "routine" before getting her a$$ royally handed to her.

Well, most of these people are more "star" then athletes.

Talking about Channel 7, you know the person who commentated on the race you just put up, Tamsyn Lewis-Manou is a former athletes herself. And you know she got almost zero fame in the field, but she found fame in a Reality TV show called "Dancing with the Stars" by winning third

This is the women behind the voice in the race


Man, I want my track athletes to win bronze in a track race, not on a dancing reality program...

I think we are more rely on the media to get the hit instead of winning race, it does not matter if you run 37th in a race, as long as you race and you got on TV, that's A-OK. Problem is, instead of pushing yourself to be the best, you are only pushing yourself good enough to be on TV. That's not gonna be enough.

A lot of our athletes having this mindset, compounding with low motivation from the commonwealth government, it is going to spell disaster.

Lol, yes she is pretty, and I'll the photo. The reason for this is because that is exactly her problem i.e. she is pretty but not good enough to compete on a world level. She's a social media darling. I'm glad the Aussie coaches have publicly shamed her, I hear Coke are not happy either about her "performance". It's simple if she can't perform she will become a nobody, and she will have to say adios to all the fame as well.

This is not just happened in Australia, it happened all over the world too, another one of those story is this Canadian Tennis player Eugenie Bouchard, the media have blasted her she care more about her hair before a match than how's her back hand, she always hug the spotlight

on the other hand, when you look at some of the American Athletes, like Katie Ledecky, which was just 19 and won 4 gold and 1 silver in Rio

This is how she look like normally

This is what she look like when she dolled up for an award.

Katie+Ledecky+Golden+Goggle+Awards+LA+5tR1mBb5s8ql.jpg


Well, I will just lay it out in the open, if you search on google and put Eugenie Bouchard and the word "Sexy" in it, it generate tons of picture, And if you put Katie Ledecky and the word sexy in it, you won't have any result, to be honest, Katie Ledecky looks a bit like a freak...And that's why she have won 4 gold in Rio and 5 gold in total

on the other hand, you got Chloe Sutton on the same team, but then she also gone with the TV fame instead of sporting way, hence she wasn't even in the Team USA squad this Olympic.

I did not watch her at all, on the other hand, I had saw how Monica Puig defeated world number 2 and make history.

She now got all the attention she need back home in Puerto Rico and in the US too (Puerto Rican is American) and some crazy TV host in Puerto Rico even go so far to compare her with Serena Williams....I am going to see if she can go up instead of catching the fame train in 4 years time.

But man, credit where it due, she did demolish Kerber in that game.....
