Quote from bartkun

Can I ask what is cold for Australian? Do you get like 0*C during nights? Lol

well... i think the past winter has been VERY cold so like 2 degrees celcius during night time ig

last winter it was not that bad so maybe 6/7 degrees last time from memory..

BUT our houses are insulated like SHIT so if you dont have the heater on (a lot of ppl dont bc of cost of living) ur fucked

Someone from my small town of 2.5k people has a good chance of winning a gold medal in women's shot put. The local theatre is having a watch party. I used to work with her father who sadly passed away recently and will miss her performance. I think that motivation will help her claim victory.

in love with flavia saraiva and rebeca andrade

I had a bigger intrest in the olympics, or all sports, when I was younger. Hardly watch the olympics and more, only if it's something I feel I really want to see.

selfmate I find it interesting that the Australian athletes have to transition from winter to summer to compete in the Summer Olympics.

Also, do you remember Sydney 2000?

I think they might train in other countries to get used to the difference in climate??? not sure though

what about them I remember Cathy Freeman (a famous Indigenous Australian) winning the 400m

and some of the opening ceremony

rebeca andrade is gold!!!!

Quote from alexS

Go Sabrina!!!!! She has it in the bag

she deserved it so much

my country wins no medals so fuck the olympics

I saw YouTube's main page about South Korea having won gold for women's badminton.

I'm proud of that.

I'm currently watching skateboarding and the Danish commentators mentioned how Kusaki Hinano listens to J-rock and J-hip hop, and they mentioned One OK Rock.

And well... I thought that it was common knowledge that "sakura" means "cherry blossom" because the Danish commentators looked at someone's name (her given name being Sakura) and said "I know that one part of her name means cherry blossom, but I don't know which"
