Australia’s Matthew Mitcham just became China’s public enemy number one when he denied his hosts a clean sweep of the diving gold medals. If I am one of them Chinese authorities, I will start digging dirt on this guy to disqualify him so the gold medal will go to China.
In fact, I personally believe that this Matthew guy is is only eight years old and should therefore not be allowed to participate in the Olympics. Look at his facial hair for instance. It kinda looks fake, no? I think Australia, in its desperation to get a diving gold, pasted kangaroo hair on the face of this poor eight year old boy to make him look older. Boo Australia, you are sooo an age cheating country.
Gold medal winner Stephanie Rice and Australia’s gold medal bet Eamon Sullivan are Australia’s version of Posh and David Beckham. But they reportedly split up before the Games began.
But did they really split up? Nah! They’re still together according to Rice’s grandpa. So maybe this splitting up thing is just a gimmick then?
Congratulations, you earring-wearing swimmer. That was teh awesome. It seems that, as predicted, the girl swimmers of Australia will do better than the boy swimmers. The evidence so far: Stephanie Rice = teh awesome; Grant Hackett = a dud dude in the 400 meters. But to be fair to Grant, his event really is the 1,500 meters where he is the defending champion.
Meet the newest member of our Dara Mama Club: Australian basketball player, Rohanee Cox. Here’s some info about Rohanee from olympics.com.au:
During the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) season in 2000, Rohanee Cox suffered severe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage to her left knee.
Argh! This is bad news to the fans of Australian hurdler Jana Rawlinson and to those of us who are certified members of the Dara Mama Fans Club.
Jana, according to reports, will not be participating in the Beijing Olympics because of a toe injury. Bad, bad, bad toe. Why did it “decide” to get injured at this time. Jana is currently the world record holder in the 400 meter hurdles so she really has a good chance of bagging the gold medal in Beijing.
We got a lot of hits blogging about Canada’s Olympic uniform so let’s blog about the outfits of the other Olympic teams. Maybe we should stick to Olympic fashion if that’s what it takes to be world famous? Joke joke.
Anyways, here’s the uniform of Australia’s Olympic team which was unveiled last February. For some reason, this set of uniform reminds me of Leonardo Caprio’s “Catch Me If You Can”; you know, that movie where Leonardo’s a pilot (or a pretend pilot) running away from authorities.
Erin Philips, the basketball player. She’s a member of the Australian basketball team that won the 2006 World Basketball Championship.
And Errin Philips, the male magazine model. Now, just because she’s modeling doesn’t mean she’s forgotten about basketball. In fact, she’s got some warning to her team’s main rivals in Beijing.
