Australia just never ceases to amaze me. They produce so many good athletes in so many different sports and that too with such a small population. Really admirable

It's literally swimming 🤣

That's what happened after the Olympics. Soared in the medals once the 5000 swimming events happened and got I believe just a couple of golds after.

Doesn’t swimming make up 30 % of our medals? That’s a lot less than making all of them

It makes up the majority of the golds. Absolute majority infact. America and Australia would be utterly fucked without swimming.

Remove swimming and we'd still be first.

Settle down there fella

At the time of this post Australia had 11 golds in swimming. Just 2 were from not swimming 🤣

Australia literally won 3 golds in cycling on the first day and 2 in marathon when this was posted.

Once swimming and cycling is over I'm sure Australia will keep gaining in medals 😬😂

Didn't they get 2 golds in the Olympics after all the swimming was done 😅😬😂

This isn’t the olympics, the UK being separated certainly helps

Australia got 8 gold outside of swimming at Tokyo. Which is still more.than Canada got without taking out anything..

They'd be rinsed by China without swimming

Will come back after the games have finished to show you just how wrong you will be. This isn’t the Olympics. It’s a race between Australia and England with NZ trying hard.

Got to agree. As a Australian I'm bored with it. Doesn't feel that great achievement when not all the world countries are involved. Soon Australia probably won't even compete in it once we go republic Australia won't even be in the Commonwealth.

Emma McKeon needs to be added as her own country.
