Jeez I hate her. Would it be too much to ask to launch a court action to get some of that wasted taxpayer money back.

Also, it looks like Aust should pick up 2 gold in the mens and womens 470s in sailing.

And Zim chick wins gold in the 200m backstroke - she now has 3 silver and a gold from these olympics.

And the British lass is about to win gold in the 800m.

Remarkable win by Phelps. He was on a half stroke and yet somehow still managed to tip out the Serb, after trailing the whole race.

And congrats to Coventry. She's some swimmer.

And well done to Rebecca Adlington on matching a 100 year old feat of winning two swimming Golds for the UK.

Hehehe, I have to agree on Lewis. She has well and truly taken over the mantle as Drama Queen extraordinaire for the Australia. And she's sh!t.

So is that definite on the Sailing Golds??

Not definite but if I sort of understand the competition it is going to take something freaky for us to lose - like me predicting certain gold.

The Redgrave class final is on now.

University of Vanessa.

Steve.

And the Aussies win. Drew Ginn is now a 60% Redgrave.

How unAustrylyen are you lot about the Sugarbean?

Isn't she one of your outstanding supermodels - the new Body?

What have you got to complain about - looks AND sporting excellence? Everything you Ozzie men want (as long as she brought the beer).

I'm thinking you're all just jealous because you can't have her. ...

Drew Ginn sounds like a boring alcoholic cardsharp.

Just checked. I see they now have two bronze, equal with mighty Chinese Taipei and one behind the superhuman Indonesia. Very Happy
