Jobob: I liked what you wrote - its nice to have all the facts like that in the one place.

I just have to add a couple of facts about cycling. The people you listed may be the Olympic champions, but there are some new stars on the scene, so they better watch out - especially Leontien van Moorsel who will probably get beaten by Katie Mactier (Aus) and/or Sarah Ulmer (NZ) in the IP.

Keep an out for the Aus men's team time trial who have been unbeatable in recent years as well as our sprinters who want gold.

In the road races - well Oenone Wood is a good chance as the current World Cup (women's) leader and only a fool would discount a men's road team that includes Robbie McEwen, Stuart O'Grady & Michael Rogers.

And Anna Meares is a favourite for gold in the women's sprint and the 500m TT (she is world champ in that)!!!

PS - I know the stuff i wrote is biased, but it is true and anyway, someone has to show a bit of support for my country.
