Where Have All Our Bloody Gold Medals Gone?

We’re deep in to the post-swimming medal frenzy. The rivers of gold have slowed, and Australia is diligently scouring the beach with a metal detector for anything that resembles a precious metal.

Thankfully, sailing is keeping us afloat, with Matthew Belcher and Will Ryan picking up another ‘just show up’ gold medal. Does this mean we are on the cusp of a sailing boom? And what’s in an seafaring AusKick pack anyway?

Elsewhere, boxing sensation Harry Garside is taking the world by storm, sinking seasoned Kazakhstani veterans with his rapid hands and painted fingernails, drawing comparisons with some of history’s greatest fighters, and Wil Anderson.

Andrew Hoy has done his bit with a silver and a bronze, fuelling dreams of a berth in Brisbane 2032. And better yet, Coatesy got in on the act to share war stories- and wasn’t it good to see two Aussie battlers get their dues?

Wrapping it up, we talk about the need for naked athletes, Bill Shorten, Shane Heal on the corpie circuit, and the massive revelation the IOC is still drug testing athletes.
