Was there an olympics on?? Bugger. I must have missed it. When did all this occur. I didn't see any of the usual hype that we had for sydney.

Australia is the drug cheat capital of the world - I am cheering for us to lose each and every event- and next time an athlete says this medal is for Australia it should be taken off them and put on display somewhere and the athlete should never touch it again - after all it was not for them but for Australia.

Like every other country isn't on something Just cause our media are a bunch of wankers doesn't mean they are telling the truth. Has any of our cyclists that have won gold actually tested positive to anything other than vitamins?
It's a disgrace that our media continue to bag our athletes, other countries would never allow this to happen as it would be an embarrassment to national pride and the face of the nation...WE HAVE NO SHAME

I'm with you Jaster - Damo, of all people.... "don't believe the hype..."
Can't wait - I really love watching the Olympics, regardless of how Australians perform.
Not looking forward to 100's of hours of Channel 7 "Postcards from Greece" and other soft-focus $hite, but SBS is thankfully on the ball. Hopefully they get the hint with several other years of poor coverage and get it right this time - i.e. Mute button for McAveney.

no
yes probably, but yes probably
no
yes probably, no
highly unlikely.

Needless to say, i am loving the Olympics.
Few comments;
Channel 7's Day 1 coverage - Awesome. Showed sport all day.
Channel 7's Day 2 Coverage - Great... until Prime-time. Then endless freaking replays of our 2 gold medals, soft-focus dribble. Time after time.... Save it for the non-Greece daylight shift please?!
SBS Coverage - Thank god for SBS. They just get on with the job.
I really don't like hearing that "We're in 2nd position on the medal tally". I like to think that at the end of the day that countries aren't competing against each-other, there is no prize for 1st/2nd/3rd. It's just a tally... Besides, once the gymnastics and athletics medals start rolling in, we've got nuthin'!
Left the TV on last night and woke up with annoying loud shrieking of Softball. It's 3am, flicked to channel 7 to see Petria turn, chase and overtake de Bruin for gold. Awesome - and being that we know Petria's sister (who is over there watching) made it feel even better... =D>
