Australians in whingeing shock. They are a happy bunch when they are winning, otherwise grumpier than your average grumpy person. Remember they were the bunch that thought it was hilarious to call no ball every time Muralia came into bowl, but got very upset when the Barmy Army did the same to Brett Lee. Fuck 'em.  |

It's OK to take the piss out of Australians. They are up for the banter and can give as good as they take.

The Aussie's always have a moan when they lose... and I don't mind that. Their attitude to sport is fantastic; losing is not good, taking part doesn't count, and being a good loser is frowned upon.

Also just to add thank God Murray/Robson didn't win the tennis, Robson getting gold would have been a travesty, a truly awful tennis player. Silver's good enough for her.
Bet she'd still whup your arse, besides she's still only 18 |

Does anyone else find Bolt a bit scary?

I think it's great to hear the stadium singing the National Anthem during the medal ceremonies.
Even at the Tennis they sang it after Murray won.
Can't remember it happening at any previous games

The stadium looks impressive as well.
A shame it won't be suitable for football.

You should be better at fishing than that at your age Jan. |

Not fishing at all, if Robson was half decent that'd have been another gold.
And whether she'd beat me or not is completely irrelevant.

Fraser-Pryce always looks so happy I just want to hug her.

A truly awful Olympic finalist eh? In the first set she was the best player. |

I suspect she may have once shat in Jan's sandwich .

She's Australian, we should never have expected her to do well in this Olympics, just like her compatriots...
