Swimming? Eight splashes moving slowly up and down a big pond re-down for differernt ways of splashing again and again so some freak with big feet can win several gongs? Oh, yeah, yer an Aussie :Playnice:.

When I say bit of swimming I mean the last lap of Hackett's race and an eye over the medal tally.

The opening ceromony might be worth watching. It'll be spectacular that's for sure. Not to sure if I will watch or not. The Chinese are going to win most. Will be interesting who gets caught cheating. I'm picking someone from Taiwan but that's just a cynical guess.
