    Anna Meares- Broken Neck in 2008 due to a horrific cycling accident, Miraculously competed in Beijing olympics and has continued to race and now finds herself with a Bronze already in these games and on track for a gold in her final sprint. Truly Inspirational and truly amazing.
    The Country is behind her and lets hope she get take gold home for Australia.

  17. Allan says:

    Just did some research.
    Great Britain Olympic side consists of 18 players of an average of around 24.67 years: Take out good old ryan giggs and your average comes down by almost 1 and a half years.
    Classic, a 38 year old playing in a U23 competition.

    Just something to tug at the heart strings

    Romance was in the air at the beach volleyball today.

    Between matches during the second session, Tom Holt risked having sand kicked in his face (literally, perhaps, as well as metaphorically) when he got down on bended knee on the court to propose to girlfriend Elfi Czinegeova.

    She said yes!

    A crowd of thousands witnessed the moment when the pair, who are amateur beach volleyball players, agreed to tie the knot.
