    Hi mig I heard the Australian teams were moaning about the crowd being too noisy in the rowing what do they want them to do sit their all glum and passive?, it’s odd but they call us whinging pom’s but they moan more than we do, sour grapes is all they should shut up and put up. After all actoins speak louder than words and were number 3 on the medal's board so there!, nah nah nah nah nah!!!.

    Oh diddums. The French are too temperamental for their own good and as for the Antipodean lot well, who cares? They've had plenty of success in the past so they shouldn't begrudge others their turn but they will as they're not used to losing. If you're not good enough then you're not good enough. Work harder. Simples. DD

    It's very unlike me to defend the Aussies and I don't know what's been going on with them and the Olympics. My experiences of them come mostly with cricket and, for all they usually sail away with everything, I find them very gallant losers when they do lose.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    The aussies usually do well in the swimming but other nations have caught up, China especially. Australia have all these sports institutes, funding and a sporting lifestyle, China has a selection process and children are fed and 'cared' for by the state but GB has also invested in sport, backed by sports science and technology so why shouldn't GB be getting medals.
