Two more golds complete Australian domination - Track Day 6 Round Up
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...ug04/aug26news
The track portion of the Olympic cycling program concluded last night
with the men's keirin and Madison, and the women's points race.
Australia confirmed its status as the dominant nation in track cycling
by adding two golds and a bronze to its tally of nine track medals
(including five gold) in the keirin and Madison, while Russia added the
women's points gold to the men's points title it won yesterday.

It's for you, brother

Gutsy Loretta Harrop dedicated her triathlon silver medal to her
brother Luke, who was killed in a car accident more than two years ago.
Harrop went agonisingly close to winning Australia's first Olympic
triathlon gold -- but the winner was as Aussie as they come.
Geelong-born Kate Allen, who has switched allegiance to Austria, ran
down Harrop in the last vital metres.

Australia confirmed their status as the new force of world cycling
after dominating the Athens Olympics with six gold medals, two of them
on a memorable closing day's competition at the Velodrome. Ryan Bayley
clinched the sprint-keirin track double and Stuart O'Grady and Graeme
Brown teamed for a dynamic victory in the 50km madison to round off
Australia's greatest cycling performance at an Olympics.

Speed king Ryan Bayley and Graeme Brown claimed an Olympic double each
tonight as Australia completed its dominance of cycling at the Games

Bayley won the keirin in an electric show of speed to go with
yesterday's sprint gold only minutes after 4000m team pursuit champion
Brown teamed with Stuart O'Grady to win the madison race.

dontchya just love the way the media is claiming Kate Allen a
Australian ( place of birth, date of birth etc). Austrian is a spellin
mistake of course! And naturally, if you're Australian (ie a *true
Australian who never gives up ) then it's genetic to win Olympi
gold, particularly if you have two wheels underneath you!

Seriously, I watched the end of the triathlon and my heart went out t
Loretta. Allen ran an excellent race - very strategic and finishe
strongly. Harrop bust a gut and raced her heart out. Both women deserv
accolades, even with spelling mistakes in their nationality :

When I saw the Women's Point Race my first though was where's the res
of the field?
Surely that made it much harder to get a lap as against the Men's.

As far as Allen, my understanding is she fulfilled the Aussie dream o
marrying into a Pub, then became a serious athelete. Not the sportin
mercenary that some are claiming

It's pathetic. We claim every foreigner who spends five minutes growing up
here as our own and we won't let anyone go either. She married an Austrian,
she left Australia eight years ago, get over it.

Well she did only leave Australia 8 years ago. Most of her life wa
spent here. However she changed her allegience to Austria, so she'
Austrian. We don't call Irena Lashkow or Lauren Mark Russian o
American. I think we have our fair share of foreigners turned Aussies

Can someone please, think of the children, and pronuonce [sic] "keirin"
coorectlu [sic] as "kay - rin"?
Admittedly, Kirin ("key-rin") beers (aka biiru) are [nihongo de] sugoku
umai ando teisutorii juroppsu [tasty drops, but ... umm, I'll just get
back in my box]

Anyway...
We ROOOOOOOL! (in track cycling, at least...)
