One of my work colleagues Brendan Dowler was in the Rollers team that won gold tonight. I need Hawkey to come back and tell me I can have the day off tomorrow.
I hardly watched any of the regular olympics because there is just too much commercialism in it, especially with swimming. Paralympics was heaps better. Commentary was amateurish but it made it better in many ways. And the athletes seemed so much more excited to win any medal at all.
Where else can you see a shotput guy who must have weighed well over 100kgs be part of a 4 x 100 relay and get bronze. Fantastic stuff.
