Men's triathlon gold and bronze for Team GB, impressive.

In a major shock Australia didn't take the silver :D

Australia will get at least one gold tonight in the 100mtr hurdles. Pearson is in a different postcode in that.

Queen Victoria races for gold against Meares later, eek! :unsure:

I'd like to congratulate Australia for whining, whinging and bitching themselves to another gold..... We all expected a race, not more complaints and bitching.
