Olympics
Okay, so I'm a sports junkie that's in serious withdrawal.
The feats of the athletes over the last couple of weeks have been amazing. They just keep getting better and better.
Michael Phelps - Usain Bolt - Their performances were mind-boggling!!!
But I'd like to take a moment to show my pride and appreciation of the athletes from my own country. We (Australia) came 6th on the medals table (with 46) behind China(100), United States(110), Russia(72), Britain(47) and Germany(41).
For a country of 21 million that's not bad. In fact, it's bloody good. On a popluation basis, China would have needed 2700 medals to equal us, the US would have needed 660 , Russia 308, Great Britain about 130 and Germany 175.
Well done to them all and indeed to the athletes from all over the world.
Thank goodness for the LAPD news to help get my mind of the fact that there's still four years to London. It can't come around fast enough for me.
