Sweet sweat

The most hilarious (or heartbreaking or inspiring - depending on your point of view) Olympic medal win must be in today's triathlon when the Aussie girl got beaten at the post by the Aussie/Austrian girl. I turned on for my first viewing as they were standing on the podium and the Aussie commentators were carrying on about her mum and dad back home on the sheep station outside Melbourne; how she was born in Geelong etc and the camera was on only one face, so imagine my surprise when they played the Austrian National Anthem. Took me a few minutes of raving that they were playing the wrong national anthem before I sorted it all out.

The funniest thing of all was when the Aussie journalist interviewed the Austrian winner and she said "I'm really an Aussie"! - wonder what the Austrians made of that comment.

Ah, the Olympics, always good for a good laugh - or cry!
