Followed closely behind by Australia panning the mud on the banks of the Thames for a sliver of dignity & respectability.
Can't wash off the stench of failure though  |

I think ANY athlete that has made it to the Olympics, and represents their country with pride, can NEVER be regarded as a failure. They are ALL champions as far as I'm concerned ! Metals are meaningless. Australia and the rest of us should all be proud of them !
Best regards.....// Ernie in NH

Quite agree, can't help taking the P155 though.
Our girls got Gold for the Sculls, which is amazing, as they were reversing.

Fortunately the sailors look like rescuing aussie pride, not that the Channel Nines coverage gives it any airtime, what a bunch of useless f%cks the TV stations are....

The Somalians were disqualified because they thought sailing and shooting were one sport!!!!!!
