When you cross that finish line you’ll know…

Smell that Olympic spirit! It started wafting in before the games had even started. I think I got the first sniff when every country in the world aired Cool Runnings in unison.

Some people say, you know they can’t believe
Jamaica, we have a bobsled team!


I watched the opening ceremony, and there was not a Jamaican in sight! How disappointing…

Having an Aussie team is almost as odd as having a Jamaican team. Strangely enough we did get a couple of gold medals last time around. Good old Steven Bradbury! He only won because everyone else in the men’s speed skating final fell over. He just skated past the tangled heap of elite speed skaters on the floor, and then it was GOLD! GOLD! GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA!!!



It was the most awesome sporting moment ever.

Alisa Camplin won gold in the aerial skiing, but there are fears that she may have to retire soon due to recurring injuries. Apparently landing a ski jump with a bung knee isn’t something you can keep up for very long...



Fortunately her superb attention to dental hygiene should support her well into her old age.

I've never seen snow. Is it awesome?
