Biggest unexplained AUS mysteries:
Haven’t heard any explanation on either.
What explanation do you want, Emma has always said that her biggest goal is Paris and she did 24.35-52.83-56.88 so definitely not bad and they always said that Mollie’s injury was nothing major
Ironic that the video uploader made certain that the people most interested in watching the videos, Aussie swimming fans, couldn’t watch them in their home country. Well, a trusty VPN will soon rectify that situation.
Stupid-looking copyright issues.
The commentary on these videos was fairly dull. It conveyed none of the excitement of the events. Channel 9’s was vastly better, despite Thorpie not knowing when to shut up.
Which commentary is it?
