      I think we got poor calls in both the women's final and the quarter final. But at the end of the day you have to suck it up and lose with grace, something That was evident in 2007

              <p>Sounds to me like the wheels fell of the campaign somewhat well before they left for Rio.  Lost the dressing room or fights amongst the players or some such I expect details will emerge in the fullness of time.  </p>
              <p> </p>
              <p>Titj had a great run, but all runs have to end eventually.  In the end time catches up with us all.  It will for Hansen as well if we leave him in the post long enough.  </p>
              <p> </p>
              <p>Hope Fiji go all the way and their first medal is a gold.  </p>

                      Rowing is great to watch. Should get to bed but really enjoying these races.
