handstands and roly polys

I am enjoying the Olympics this year. The main reason is that I have no expectations and a clear understanding that the host nation is using this opportunity as a very expensive propaganda exercise. After having my heart broken at the last Rugby World Cup and the Sydney Olympics I have learnt to enjoy the sport and achievements of New Zealanders on a different level.

I feel sorry for Moss Burmester because he just missed out on a medal but really, he swum his best time ever, broke a couple of NZ and Commonwealth records and is a total star. Well done mate, not many people can say that. So what if he didn't get a medal? He did his absolute best and it is so not about us. That Michael Phelps is a freak and he is amazing but one in a million so not really comparable.

Nic is loving the games and fascinated by the heats, semi finals and finals and can't for one moment understand why 'handstands and roly poly's are in the Olympics'. Yay Nic, that it very funny.
