yeh, its great. more of it. the latest one is “aaaannnnnddddd, I didnt even run all that well, so when I do, I’ll get the gold!” but delivered with the intonation of a 5 year old talking about a lolly for being good!!!

dont for a moment think that I am knocking her. I think she is great. more strength to her arm!!!! dont go changin’

‘Did you see me?’ has already worked its way into all my friends conversations. Hopefully it catches on all around Australia.

A breath of fresh air.
She’s worth gold in my books.
I’ve never enjoyed an Olympic moment so much.

Yeah – I did mean loony in a good way. None of those cliched answers. Cathy Freeman used to be the same.

She was asking the journalists afterwards if they wanted to touch it. “It’s real, wanna touch it?”. Great stuff.

we need more of this. hopefully, but most unlikely, the press will trample her at the first moment.

Agreed. She was so refreshingly honest. “Did you see me at the start? Did you see how pumped I was…”. Gold stuff.

Loony, well i know what you mean. I prefer her to the filtered, coached interviews full of cliches from most of the others. More strength to her arm!!!!

The interview of the games so far – she’s a classic. Loony, but a classic!

And a genuine world class athlete – we don’t have too many of them.
