‘Oh, sh*t, am I actually in this?’ Home-country darling sends Olympics into frenzy

Australia began their Olympic campaign with a bang on Sunday, as Ilona Maher’s scorching shorts sent fans into an online frenzy.

Maher, who calls herself a home-country darling, set tongues wagging back home with her patriotic post on Twitter in which she declared her Olympic uniform hotter than the weather in Tokyo.

Her tweet, which also included a series of drool face emojis, read: “So the opening ceremony is tonight and the amount of DMs I’ve received about wanting to see me in this outfit is crazy 😂” and “um, hello? it’s 30 degrees here. (That’s 86F).”

The post has since been shared thousands of times and has amassed thousands of likes.

Her cheeky tweet comes ahead of the 2021 Olympics, which is the first Olympics to take place in a year other than 2000 since 1940. Tokyo will play host from July 23 to Aug. 8.

Rory: Olympics has potential to match Ryder Cup

Rory McIlroy has suggested that the Olympics could one day match the Ryder Cup in terms of prestige.

The Northern Irishman, who is a four-time major winner, said that the Olympics has the potential to be “just as big” as the Ryder Cup.

“I think the Olympics has the potential to be just as big as the Ryder Cup,” McIlroy said. “It’s a global event, it’s watched by billions of people around the world, and it’s a chance to represent your country.

“I think the Olympics is a great event and I’m proud to have represented Ireland in the past. I think it’s an amazing experience and I think it has the potential to be just as big as the Ryder Cup.”

Schauffele, Rahm Share Lead in Olympic Golf

Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm are tied for the lead after the first round of the Olympic golf tournament at Kasumigaseki Country Club. Both Americans shot 68s to finish one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who is tied with Sepp Straka for second place.

Schauffele, the world’s fifth-ranked player, made five birdies and two bogeys, while Rahm, the world’s second-ranked player, had six birdies and three bogeys. If either golfer wins the gold, they will become their country’s first gold medalist in men’s golf.

McIlroy, the 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, made four birdies and one bogey, while Straka, an Austrian ranked 161st in the world, made five birdies and two bogeys. Straka’s performance is one of the tournament’s biggest surprises so far. It’s the first Olympic golf tournament in which the best players in the world are competing.

Fitzpatrick Out of Olympic Golf with Thumb Injury

Olympic golf has been dealt another blow with the withdrawal of Matthew Fitzpatrick from the Tokyo Games due to a thumb injury.

The Englishman, who won the 2016 Olympic silver medal, aggravated an existing thumb issue during the Scottish Open last week. He withdrew from the event after the third round and has now made the decision to pull out of the Olympics to focus on his recovery.

Fitzpatrick’s withdrawal is a major disappointment for Team GB, which is already without world number one Rory McIlroy. The 27-year-old was expected to be one of the team’s key performers, and his absence will leave a significant hole in the lineup.

It is not yet clear how long Fitzpatrick will be out of action, but he is hopeful that he can return to competition in time for the FedEx Cup playoffs.
