Might have to return to the Gawler Arms to watch this ;)
She's a lovely young lady.

Meanwhile, I know of a local newspaper which got caned on Facebook for offering "bad luck" as a condolence to the local members of the team pursuit squad who gained silver. I don't know what everyone else says to their opponents after they beat them, but "bad luck" was usually at the top of my list.

Opals bomb out, they are usually a lock for a medal. What's going on with the Aussie teams?
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Bogut's as bad as Cambage - both bitchy, know-alls who aren't as intelligent as they think they are.
I don't get people see him as any different to each other.

He can play, as can Cambage. She's been huge for Australian basketball, as well.
But we're talking about off-court, aren't we?

Yeah i guess. He got a bit more of my respect in his interview after the US game.
Cambage goes to Splendour on the Grass instead of playing Olympic qualifiers, can't see Bogut ever doing that. Can you?
Anyway they better telecast the long jump!

Both very good sportspeople in the their own right, should both stay away from broadcasting their thoughts to the world though.

Cambages thoughts are fine, Bogut not the most intelligent bloke going around though, agreed on that one.

Great effort by Chelsea Jaensch to even get to the Olympics.
6.41 final jump not enough to qualify.
She's had an amazing adventure.

How's Kim Mickle in the jav? Popped her shoulder.
