Aust/NZ/Canadian/UK ladies-ready for the games?

[crazycanuck]

Hey ladies,

Have you watched much of the coverage so far????

I watched the swimming yesterday..I'm still amazed on how fast they breathe...they don't really look like they're breathing either...

This morning in between bouts of feeling yucky i watched the Men's triathlon. I managed to get through the swimming & cycling leg before having to turn the tv off as noise wasn't helping my headache & nausea....

Í had to laugh at the lawn bowls coverage...How many folks over 65yrs were up watching that

Would you Aussie's stop thrashing everyone - it's just not fair!

Torn now between supporting the English/Scottish/Welsh - and the Kiwis!
But I get four teams to cheer on - yay!

Loved watching the Kieren last night - and the track cycling today.
One of the NZ track cyclists, Jason Grace, owns a bike shop around the corner from me http://www.calibrecycles.com/.
Such a shame he missed out on a medal - I was yelling from the couch, but sadly he couldn't hear me!

OK, the Aussies are doing well. But what about the 7s and Moss Burmester in the pool, not too shabby for the Kiwis?! Did you like the haka at poolside? That was cool.

I really enjoyed watching the triathlons yesterday. I was very surprised to learn that the Aussies and Kiwis dominate this sport. I just want to know do they have chamois in their swimmers? It could get a bit uncomfy 'down there' after 40kays on the road....

whoa... the mens and womens triathalons... and the indoor track cycling - I'd never heard of a kieran before (have I spelled that right?

Oh... *falls in heap to ground in despair* ... why cant we have cycling like this ALL the time on telly?

Picks self up in a rush and races to remote...

Better make the most of it, huh?

Aaaaaah the Commonwealth Games.......I wish I could sit in front of the t.v. all day and watch it. The one thing I am sick of though is them playing every medal ceremony that Australia wins gold - I have the national anthem playing in my head non-stop now which is rather irritating.

How good was the track cycling!! God the sprinters have the biggest quads ever!

Totally agree with everything you've said. But at least in the cycling coverage, they not nauseating like they are in the swimming. If they say one more time, "she's going for gold".... I'll puke.

And how I'll miss the dulcet tones of Phil Liggett, when the games are over. What a legend he is... I swear cycling on TV is NOT cycling if you're not hearing Phil commenting. His knowledge is remarkable. Did anyone catch his interview on late news on nine the other day?
