Stuff the Chinese, Germans & Russians for beating our guys in the syncro diving!!!!  :(
Also, wtf is up with our boxers??  We can't get a win......you'd think aussies would at least be able to land a damn glove in the right spot for points   ;-)

Ain't it great when we can all become armchair experts in all sports  :lol:

Two more medals in the pool for the Aussies.

Bloody blokes can't do better than bronze though.

Hayden Stoeckel shared the bronze in the Men's 100m Backstroke.

But the honours go to Leisel Jones for getting gold in the Women's 100m Breaststroke!

Congrats to the guy from Togo (Togo?) who became the first ever medal winner (bronze) for his country in the K1  ;D
That's what the Olympics is for me (apart from cheering on the Aussies) to see the real underdogs do well - or just finish sometimes  :D
