    Eliza. <br><br>
    The good news: you've just won an Olympic bronze medal.<br><br>
    The bad news: you've just bought yourself a whole HEAP of expectation from the whole country.<br><br>
    Onya. <br><br>
    My favorite moment of the games so far.

                  Yeah I just watched the interviews. She's like Irene van Dyk just all smiles. A complete star. I stayed up to 3am to watch it live and it was totally worth it. I agree with mokey that she probably suddenly thought too much about it and psyched herself out. But to be expected at 19 and her first major seniors event.

                              Will Willis go into the race poised like a loaded gun and will he empty the chamber?

                                          I suspect Damo missed the piston wristed gibbon thread. That thread will go down in history as one of the very best.
