Yeah absolutely. He did not look too flash after that race...

And an absolute sportsman about the loss too, not blaming the illness, and congratulating them what beat him.

[martybabe]

If I may interject, as a pom, I thought it was brilliant, gongrats to them and NZ.

Did anyone else hurt thier arms rowing excitedly on the sofa or am I the only nutter.

Oh congrats to the shot putter too, sorry can't remember her name but watta girl. :apint:

Not knowing them... but they appear as two extremely down-to-earth, average people with exactly the right attitude.
The very best of congratulations to them both!

[chanceyy]

Nope - I was doing that too.
My wife thinks it is hilarious, the only sport she watches is me watching sports LOL :first:

[EJK]

Now waiting for the Stake Sammy :rolleyes:

[Krayy]

Oooh, I'm annoyed now. It seemed to me that Comrade Clark tried to hijack the twins' success on Holmes' show this morning using choice quotes like:

"I admire them because they've been getting hard time in the media lately and their popularity had gone down. But as underdogs they rose to the occasion...bullshit, bullshit, bullshit"

Why does she have to turn their success into a party political broadcast by comparing their situation to her socialist republics downturn?

:2guns: FOAD Ms Clark

[enigma51]

I love nz

Just last week everyone was going on about how shit we are doing in the olympics and we should not be spending money on so many sports but just a few blah blah blah now we all on about how fucking great we doing!

Make your minds up people its a suprise anyone did get gold with the support they had last week!

RANT OVER

Congrats to all our medal winners and to those who didnt make it congrats to qaulifying and representing NZ

Hmm, never saw the twins in the same negative way I see our 'beloved' P.M. - so I wonder where she got her perception of them from??
