EPISODE 23: Tokyo 2020 Olympics Wrap Up | Days 11-13
You win some, you lose some.
For Australia the last couple of days, we've suffered some heartbreak at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The Boomers lost against Team USA Men's Basketball in the semi-finals, despite being up by 15 points. The Matildas also lost to Team USA, 4-3 in the Bronze Medal match. Our beach volleyball girls in Clancy & Artacho Del Solar lost the gold medal match to the USA. It's been a rough rivalry with the might of Team USA.
But we also won gold in the skateboarding with Keegan Palmer, gold in the 470 dinghy with Matt Belcher and Will Ryan and gold in the Canoe Sprint with Tom Green and Jean van der Westhuyzen. So it's not all bad.
In fact, the highlight of the last couple of days could be seen on the athletics track. A marvellous effort from Peter Bol in the men's 800m, followed by a bronze medal to Ashley Moloney. But the sportsmanship and comradery from Cedric Dubler to help Moloney get the bronze in the 1500m is what Australia is all about.
But geez the boys were flat in the latest recap episode. We hope you can join them and help create a safe space where we can share our angst and help put the last couple of days behind us.

Breaking down the decathlon in terms of performance and recovery
