Donβt understand how @7mate can show episodes of Pawn Stars with captions from 6.30pm to 7.30pm every week night yet doesnβt provide captions when airing its new series βPawn Stars Do Americaβ ( I know it has captions within when aired in USA so are we treated differently in Oz?

Gusty decision by @ee_oly for listening to her mind and and take time out to look after herself.
Not an easy decision no doubt but certainly a right one if your mind is telling you otherwise.
There will be always be another swimming race to challenge - later.
Stay well Kaylee

Just to put this win into context: Arshad Nadeem didn't even have enough money to buy a new javelin. He didn't have proper coaching or a training facility. His village banded together to raise money to send him to the Olympics.
Arshadβs win is cinematic.

Believe it, Nadeem.
You just became Pakistan's first ever athletics Olympic champion. π΅π°π₯Ή

Mondo goes 6.25 for new WR in pole vault. The last WR in a menβs field event set in the Olympics was 1984 in the decathlon by Daley Thompson

So let me get this right.
@Channel9 paid $305m for the right to showcase the Olympic & Paralympic Games up until 2032.
amp.theguardian.com/sport/20β¦
Yet has cited it has generated $135m in advertising revenue to date.
mi-3.com.au/15-07-2024/sneesβ¦.
But wonβt caption ALL their channels??

@Channel9 are not just promoting the Olympics but also Paralympics including contracting people with disabilities as commentators. Yet those who can βhearβ have a choice how they wish to watch these events eg free-to-air, streaming & digital apps. But not ALL are captioned? Why?

Why are millions of Deaf/ hard of hearing Australians - who also support our Olympians & Paralympians - being denied equal access to watch ANY/ALL of the shows @Channel9 & @9Now on TV, streaming and APPs because itβs not captioned?
As an Olympian Iβm disappointed @DylanAlcott

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. This photo is iconic.
Capturing the moment before history is written.
4 Olympic Games in the making.
Focused, committed, βin the zoneβ and about to put it all on the line.

Super fight back @TheMatildas - delving deep within and maintaining the pressure. Full of twist and turns - and those VARs!
Shows the potential within you all.
Maintain the faith πππππ¦πΊπ¦πΊπ¦πΊ π₯

Sensational effort @jessfoxcanoe !!!!!
Putting it all on the line and then that nervous wait.
After four consecutive Olympics she finally gets that long awaited gold for slalom!
What a journey, what a fighter. What a story of sheer perseverance. ππππ¦πΊπ¦πΊπ¦πΊπ₯

Memo to: @9Now
Any reason why all the live streaming channels about the Olympics are not captioned yet those that are shown on free to air are?
Not only is this discriminatory but goes against broadcasting expectations especially if u r also going to cover the Paralympics?

Well done my fellow Australian Olympians for braving through the rain & soaking up the event.
A very different opening ceremony. Loved creative they were & also utilising the Effiel Tower too.
Now let the fun begin!

Is it me or were three of those NSW tries (3rd, 4th and 5th tries) came from forward passes? One maybe borderline but two I thought the receiver was ahead of line of pass.
Not taking away the other efforts for the other tries and the intensity NSW players are applying

Did you know? The Olympic flame is lit using the sunβs rays, a tradition which ensures purity. βοΈ
Although there were cloudy skies on the day of the Paris 2024 Flame-lighting Ceremony, the backup flame which was used had been ignited the previous day through this fascinating process. π₯

Canβt express my outmost disappointment and frustration with @7plus for not ensuring the Australian Athletics Championship is made accessible by way of captions across all days. Very poor form when it would make it accessible during Stawell Gift event. Why not? Discriminatory?

Thoughts are to the kids of @eddiebthe3rd for being subjected to such slur whilst innocently playing in their own backyard.
We remember Goodes being booed by thousands in stadium.
Sadly not only racist but also disability slur also occurs daily, but we have to tolerate it? No!
