.......... how are the athletics going? Aussies won many medals yet? Yes, here's a few results: Heat 1 Women’s 100 metres. Sally Mclellan (Aus) 1st; Onijora Nwnyika 2nd (must be from Lancashire) Women’s marathon – Final – 1st place Kerryn Mcann of Aus Aus also appears to have claimed 1st, 2nd & 3rd places in the final of the women’s 20km walk 3rd place in the final of the women’s shot put 1st, 2nd & 3rd places in the final of the men’s 20km walk 1st in the final of the women’s hammer throw 3rd in the final of the men’s shot put 2nd in the final of the men’s 5000m 2nd in final of women’s 1500m 3rd in final of the men’s long jump 2nd & 3rd in the final of the women’s 3000m steeplechase Not bad & hardly on the end of an athletics "whipping" from England old bean. Bring on the soccer world cup. Pity we didn't get to meet England first to sort of ease us in to the competition! BTW, how are your lot faring in the total medal count? NZ must be breathing down your necks by now!  |

Swimming went very well Windy. The women cleaned the pool of medals. Lets not talk about the men.....
I see Australia also won the 400m last night.......

It was a good run by Steffensen last night to win the 400m
Also I think Baz left out a 3rd in the women's discus and 2nd in the heptathalon and 3rd in the decathalon.
Also everyone's favourite athlete Jana Pittman is racing tonight

Drama Pittman? Can't stand her, but I'll be cheering because she's an Aussie.
Twas a great run by Steffensen......when they were talking to him before the race he was saying it would be on the bends where he'll win the race as he changes his running style....he talked the talk and walked the walk.
Well done son.
