    Why would you want to watch swimming anyway?

    Because we want to see our swimmers beat you Aussies!

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Our former Miss Universe would beg to differ (as well as most of our population...). If you mean just the swimmers though, then I absolutey agree with you...

    Of course I mean just the swimmers...

    To say all of Australia is a bold claim and it's clearly untrue. Just look at Neighbours and whatever else it is you're famous for. :P

    That's why you were sent 'Down Under'.

    You were all, clearly, criminally beautiful, and must be sent off.

    If it weren't for you Aussies, US might be leading the gold medal count.

    CR, I saw it live. I don't know what was up with your local stuff, but nothing wrong here.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Because Phelps is the man.

    Anyways, NBC is just now - some four hours or so after the race happened, showing the first Phelps final, and they have the unbelievable gall to have a little logo saying it's live.

    I wish I had a remote that I could use to electrocute network executives when I disliked their programming choices.

    And more of the appallingly boring bios/featurettes on certain athletes on the same channel. Why, oh why?!
