The Australians do pretty damn well for a country of 20 million people.Comment

My comment was more directed to the Aussies seeming to fail by their own metric. Its not often I see Aussies humbled and gracious in defeat but that seems the posture they adopted through the gamesSafer worlds through superior firepowerComment

My wife was complaining about lack of sleep b/c that she stayed up too late to watch the Olympics (She tends to be a bit of Olympics addict). Only to find out that immediately after the Olympics were done it was "Shark week" on the Discovery Channel.Normal programming should now resumeLast edited by Ogie Oglethorpe; August 15, 2012, 09:38."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Even if not for the olympics it could be a new element to the Ironman competitions. Grizzlies and great whites. All you need to do is run/swim faster than the next guy.
