Well here we are well into the Olympics and i don’t know about anywhere else but watching the games here in Australia you could be just about mistaken for not realising that there was much going on other than swimming going on. Even more so the event has for us Aussies been dominated by the great performance of Stephanie Rice who has won two individual gold medals and another gold for relay gold with all three in world record time. Until these games i had only seen the media circus surrounding her and her ex boyfriend Eamon Sullivan so it is pleasing to discover that she is so down to earth and a pleasure to listen to.

For me I more a fan of other sports and in particular the basketball, hockey and football which has been a challenge, the coverage is revolving around the swimming, diving and gymnastics. Sadly Australia is out of the soccer and on the way out of mens basketball so i just got to pin my viewing hopes on the Opals, Australia’s womens basketball team and our hockey teams!

Oh and one other thing. Comme On Aussie!
