More gold
So, as frequent readers of this infrequently updated blog would know, our household are Big fans of cycling both track and road. So it is with no great surprise then that I am over the moon that Australia has won my fave track event, the 4000m team pursuit.

I remember watching this event in the early 1990s/late 1980s and seeing the German team charge around the track like an amazingly well oiled machine....

Now its the Aussies turn. Congratulations Brad, Graeme, Luke and Brett. And an especially big congrats to Peter Dawson and Stephen Wooldridge who rode in the heats (to a world record) but were left out of the Gold medal ride.

This morning I heard that, unlike Swimming, the people who ride the heats for a team event in cycling and miss out on riding in a medal winning team DON'T get medals. How crazy is that!!! SOOOO unfair.....and unaustralian to boot (how I hate that turn of phrase). Message to the IOC - Change this one ASAP!! No way should Phelps get a gold for swimming a heat and watching the final yet Peter Dawson and Stephen Wooldridge miss out after riding a world record time.

In other Olympic news. Are the Australian Women's Eight the biggest bunch of K*^Ts in the world. So Sally Robbins bonked in the final. You can be shattered but don't forget without her you wouldn't have been there....now their behavior has been UNAUSTRALIAN!!!
