264302 2004-08-22 15:56:00 Just got my breath back after encouraging Sarah Ulmer... long long distance.
She not only got gold, but broke the world record she set the other day - and what a great ride it was.
Wow!
(And I'm not normally interested in cycling)

264303 2004-08-22 16:06:00 Yes, I know it should've been an Off Topic.
Was too exhilarated to think of that - and don't know how to change it.
Some kind person may deal with that after I've gone to bed.?
(Am puffing more after her ride than she looks to be, dammit)

264304 2004-08-22 20:59:00 Amazing isn't she! I wish they'd shown a replay of it before I had to leave for work - I was fast asleep at 2:45 ;) Read the report on teletext though :D

> Yes, I know it should've been an Off Topic.

Who cares in this case :)

No - The Tall Ferns (NZ Women's Basketball) made it through to the quarter finals. The Tall Blacks (NZ Men's Basketball) have not and are unlikely to.

And they've taken the total gold medals won by NZ women at all Olympics to 5 (counting the twins as two medals).

264311 2004-08-23 06:07:00 I am blown away by Sarah's recent performances too! And none of the three women who got gold seem to have tickets on themselves either. Just unaffected, natural people.

Some have pointed out that our gold medal winners are all women - no-one has pointed out yet that they are all blondes as well... Maybe there will be fewer blonde jokes from now on!
