For heavens sake
When did Australian's become such self-involved tossers? I thought it was bad enough all the bullsh*t about refugees and the nonsense of 'pull factors' - but an inquiry into the performance of the swimmers at the Olympics. I mean FFS - maybe it wasn't about us? I mean, I realise the world revolves around us... but maybe it was as simple as other nations have caught up with us and our excellent training methods?
This happened with tennis, with rugby union, with... well everything really. We develop a great training method and a pool of talent, and for a few years we are the best in the world, or one of the best. Then other nations come here and learn what makes us great, or Aussies go overseas and coach or whatever - and other countries catch up. Sometimes we get good again, sometimes we don't.
But seriously? An inquiry? tossers.
Also - the assorted IOC members poncing about trying to blame the education department or claiming they need more money or whatever - head tossers.
Stop being dicks - all of you. Suck up that for once we are dealing with other talented athletes, and sometimes other people will won. Honestly we are acting like someone has been pinching 'our' medals.
