The Olympic 1500m swimming event is Australia's Super Bowl?Really?REALLY?
>1500mHoly shit.. Is that a relay?
In before Oz rage!!! lolThere's no way thats true. Please clarify Aussies.
>>260897No, and it's not even close to the longest swimming race. That would be the marathon, 10,000 meters. 100 laps.
The NBC crew claims that Australia has shut down to watch this race
>>260897It's on now, coming up to the half-way. They said it runs around 15 minutes.
>>260918Oh my GOD that race is so fucking boring.Its worse when you're on a team that does that shit, and you have to pay attention the whole time because you're the one shoving the counter in the wall and signaling to the swimmer whether or not to go faster or slower.FUCK
We can go to commercial and this shit is still going on. Jesus.I will LOL if the Canadafag wins it. No Aussie won't be able to believe that shit.
>>260931Dump some box jellies in the Aussie's lane.
lulz no Aussies have posted yet. They must all be glued to their TV set like the fucktard announcer said.
>>260890>>The Olympic 1500m swimming event is Australia's Super Bowl?>Really?No, just no. The Ashes, Rugby of any code and Aussie Rules are fucking miles ahead of splashing in water.
why can i not see this on nbcolympics.com
>>260954They stopped showing live shit outside of US Basketball. This morning, I tried to watch a live Handball match. Turns out they delayed it two hours and said it was live anyway. The match was already over. I was lied to and humiliated in my own home.
>>260931lol. Why would you listen to what they say?
BWAHAHAHAHATUNISIA WINS
SUCK IT AUSSIES! HA HA!
nice bronze canada
OH GOD THE FAIL
>>260954because they don't put the primetime events online.
>>260954because its on tv right now if you aren't american then watch it on cbc.cathat race was boringggggggggggggggggggThey need to shorten it by a few hundred meters. They had nothing left at the end. It's like watching the marathon.
Ausfailia riotsCan'tada obviously can now.TUNISIA TROLLED YOU FAGS
>>260971westcoast here. i guess thats what you get for living in the by far greatest part of america, we miss some olympic coverage
Australia's collective anguish was heard around the world
aussies got splashed.... nice super bowl. 25 million of kangaroos hiding in thier sack with same.
Hackett lost? If true that's seriously amazing, he hasn't lost a 1500m race in something like 10 years.
>>260963Nobody listens to what they say. Everyone was laughing at him for being ignorant.
>>260987He's not as fit as he used to be. And it looks like his nose was bleeding at the end of that too.
Ausfag here.Great race by the Tunisian. Hackett's just too old for the sport now. He's still one of the greats over long distances.Silver brought us to 4th. :)
>>260987Hackett swam the anchor and did well but Australia was a little too far behind already. Tunisia won.
fuck you hakit you cunt
Fuck it, my OP tripcode sucked balls.Time for relay! :D
thats only like the 5th gold medal australia has blown in the pool we suck
This is going to cost Australia big time at the end of the Olympics. We really should've won more golds in the swimming, now we're probably going to finish outside the top five. :(
>>261022Sullivan x 2, Trickett, Jones, Hackett?
>>261025Britfag here, don't worry, once the Ashes starts next year, you won't remember anything about this shit.
This olympics have made me sad. I am no longer a proud Australian :(
Well at least our women's team is still winning shit. 4x100m medley gold and a new WR
>>261093Our women are awesome. It's the men that shit over everything.All will be forgiven if we beat the American team in this relay, however.
Sullivan fucked up he was bawwwwing over losing that fine piece of pussy.
>>260918What? No fucking way they're making the marathon swim in the pool, the triathlon swim is open water ffs.
rice is kinda cute, and the young one wasn't bad, but goddamn the rest of your women have downs or somethin
>>260918it's an open-water swim so it's the EQUIVALENT of 200 lengths. Doing a 10k swim in a lane pool would suck so hard.
>>261071As a Canadian I say FUCK YOU, at least you guys didn't arrive to the Olympics a week late.
Man we need to import some niggers for track and field srslypoor showing pool paddlers
>>26093199% of Australia doesn't really give a shit about swimming since the Thorpedo retired to fuck models in the ass.International Rugby? Yea, but not this crap.
