Much as we Kiwi's love to give the Aussies shit,it's good to see a sub-tropical country fluke a medal! :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:

I donno Mr T. Mby we are planning some big fiasco like the figure skating deal.

President Bush. "I think that some member of the Australian team is in cahots with the Taliban, we think that a 'Gun' that fires a burst of air at high speeds was used to knock him off balance. We damand Justice!!!"

Lol, who knows :hehehe: :hehehe:

Good on the Aussie !!!
Thats just part of sport...you have to take the good with the bad....the others crashed out, and on this one day the Aussie was in the right place at the right time.
Always good to see an under dog win.

And I state once more: Bush is an idiot!
Sorry for being offtopic.

I think it's terrible when one guy messes it up for everyone else. Like Nascar recently with that 18 car pile up. At least it's no some stupid judge's fault.

I give Ohno credit for finishing. I have seen some athletes wreck, and sit there and mope.

Yea, atleast he isn't acting like a baseball player. "I've jammed my finger and due to that I will not be playing for the rest of the season, and it is questionable if I will be able to play in spring training next year"

that race sucked. the freakin korean pulled Ohno down and Ohno was in front which gives him the right of way. that australian lucked out on two races. he shouldn't have gotten nowhere near as far as he did. then the stupid guy thought that he was the shit and the best... he sucks

the aussies name was on the medal......in three of his other races he lucked out as well....with people falling in front of him........the final race couldn't stop laughing when I saw the end...good luck to the Aussie...not his fault the others in front of him fell
