I’m glad Australians are on the same page as Dale Begg-Smith, too. If he had moved to Australia at the age of, say, five, and grew up there and everything, then I think him representing Australia would be understandable. As that’s not the case, I think Begg-Smith is trying to have his cake and eat it, too (or however the saying goes).

I’m still upset USA didn’t win the hockey game, but both Canada and USA played really well and that’s all you can ask for in a hockey game – to play excellently!

I am happy for Torah Bright and Lydia Lassila and if we have any other medallists (I don’t know) I’m happy for them too. But not Begg-Smith.

I didn’t watch very much of the Winter Olympics. I watched maybe three or four of the events, in total :P I did also hear about the progress of the men’s ice hockey final on the radio, because the presenters were rallying behind the Canadian team and kept commenting on the progress of the match (even stopping a song midway through when Canada scored the winning goal). Supporting Canada in that match is the closest I got to excited about the Olympics. None of the events I watched had any serious Australian contenders.

Can’t say I loved Hannah Kearney’s gold – I was going for Jenn Heil. :P

Overall a good Games!
