Greece just won their first gold medal, in synchro diving, as ALL the favourites screwed up their last dives - China, USA and Russia. Hmm, cynical side of me has made a reappearance, which comes up when Iraq keep winning in the soccer LOL - who paid whom off? Nah, but was great to see the Greeks go nuts when the medal was in the bag :)
The Race of The Century? Even cutting it down to swimming, that is a BIG call. Even taking into consideration the fact that the medal winners are probably among the three best internationally ever, big call. It IS the first big moment of these Games though, and I got up at 2.30 in the morning Aussie time to watch it.
Canada is on the board with a synchro diving bronze, but New Zealand is still not in the medals, not surprising, weren't in any finals yesterday. A couple of our swimmers got into semis, don't think they made the finals though, our women's basketball team won against South Korea (who got fourth in Sydney), and our lone archer made a real game of it against someone ranked a helluva lot better than him, was tied until the last two arrows, and went down by three. Participation, personal bests, quality LOL.
China, Australia, Japan, United States and France top five of the medal table.
Later taters
