Congratulations to Leisel Jones on winning the 100 metres breaststroke. A fantastic effort & worthy gold medalist.

I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting her last year at the Williamstown v Werribee clash. Very nice & so accommodating.

Got a pic of The Coon Pup with her too.

How good was the women's 200 metres x 4 relay?

I was at work & listened to Ray Hadley's call & it sent shivers down my spine, something the replay on channel 7 failed to do.

Well done Stephanie, Bronte, Kylie & Linda.

6 seconds off the world record is just amazing. At one stage there was about 5 teams under the old mark.

Our girls in the pool have done such a great job. All five gold medals to date from our female swimmers.

Heard on the news earlier something about Hackett not feel well - anyone hear it?

Yeah, the was a rumour that he wasn't going to swim in the heats for the 1500 metres. The swim coach just said that he will be swimming. Good news.

Did anyone catch the Italy v Ghana match in the men's football the other night?

Quite possibly the worst match in Olympic History.

A draw meant both teams would go through, so they played kick-arounds for 90 minutes. The match flowed like glue, and by the end the commentator was losing the will to live.

Very forgettable.

Italy was already through actually. They possibly played some of reserves. Not point busting a gut for no reason.
Its not the first time this has happened nor will it be the last.
Nothing beats Germany v Austria in 82.

Re: Beijing Olympics 2008

Did anyone just happen to see the Mens 100 metre sprint final just a few minutes ago?

The Jamaican Usain Bolt absolutely destroyed it he ran 9.69 and a world record to boot smashing his own record of 9.72 that he set in June this year. He left the others for dead. Awesome run.

Congrats to our Womens Swim team - exceptional meet.

How awesome is Michael Phelps?

I remember when Mark Spitz got 7 Gold - all those years ago and did not think that I would ever see the record beaten.

Re: Beijing Olympics 2008

How awesome is Michael Phelps?

He is unbelievable 8 gold medals and the thing was he proclaimed to the media that he would win them all prior to the games starting. Apparently he has quite a healthy appetite they mentioned on SEN last week how much he ate. Phelps says his day consists of swimming, eating and sleeping at that is all - the sacrifice paid off well 8 gold medals and blitzing in the pool.
