Sports jocks underwhelm Sydney

I have to admit I have a fierce competitor in the anti-competitive sports stakes, and we're going neck and neck for the gold medal. Baz le Tuff sends this link with glee and the comment "I wish I'd been there".

Two hundred people do not a tickertape parade make. Those 200 must have been the athletes and their mums and dads, plus all the council officials, media reps, sports industry sinecurists and masses of PR people with clipboards, plus One Wino and His Dog. There is hope yet when only 200 people out of a population of four million turn on a damp squib like this on a fine day.
