Whingeing Pom alert !
A bloke wrote into the BBC yesterday making a good point. Basically its this :-
Australia is better than us at Swimming
GB is better than Australia at Track & Field
There are DOZENS of different ways of swimming 100 metres (breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle etc etc etc) but only 1 way of running 100 metres !
Therefore Australia is better placed to win a load more medals than GB.
Plus you are also cheating by sending over a swimmer whose feet are SO BIG they are virtually flippers !!! (Thorpe with his size 13's) Surely there are regulations against this !
Ha ha !

Closing ceremony just as FANTASTIC as the opening (despite the rain!). I am moving from Manchester to Melbourne in Oct, so am looking forward to seeing the Games there next. (I may even volunteer!!!)
