Just amazing.
I couldn't hear the commentary, but as soon as he came up, I said "he's won it".
Great start. Great run.

Bugger Big W, I hit the Gawler Arms and had a sneaky pint.

To be honest Bruce did not go over the top (think Cyril) with his commentary....

Good work DW - sun not past the yard arm either!

A beer was good, but it would've been even better with the commentary. I can understand the bumps.

Broke Johnsons World Record.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

ABC commentators were reciting Johnson's record before the race, "but that looks like a stretch".
One of the things I love about sport is its unpredictability.

Hockeyroos flop out in the quarters, any chance one of our medal hopes could deliver something for us.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Agreed, pretty sure they did well at Commonwealth Games & World Champs of late.... The hookeyroos actually promote themselves quite well on twitter & instagram but havn't been able to back this up..... Disappointing really

Really disappointing to see Jamie Dwyer bow out in this fashion. The bloke is a dead-set gun, a legend of Australian sport.
