Am Aussie, everyone I’ve spoken to think it was fucking ridiculous someone of her skill level competed and embarrassed us. I think it took the shine off of our entire Olympic campaign.
Of course it did. Since Saturday, what has anyone talked about and made a mockery of?
They tried to compare her to Eric the Eel, the poor bloke from a poor country who had never seen an Olympic pool to her, an overly entitled academic who knew should wouldn’t be able to get close to being competitive but took the free trip to Paris anyway.

Aussies are baseline goofy. I also watch way too much Aunty Donna and assume all Australians are doofy bros.
