I dont mind all the matches but it does make the medal count lopsided. It seems these long competitions for teams should earn more medals. Maybe for bball and football you should get a gold for each starter or something.

That’s why they’re busting their asses to get out there when they could be chilling in the off-season.
And for other sports that are included, it’s easily the pinnacle of their achievements.
Lol. Right?!

It’s really weird how Melbourne got to host it before Sydney.
Been trying to find the Billy Connolly clip on race walking
Not really Melbourne was the richest city in the world up until the Second World War, also the sporting capital of the country, The Brisbane Olympics should have been in Melbourne but we got screwed by Kevin Gosper the Australian on the IOC.
What happened?
