Jane Fleming seemed to indicate Lewis knew what was going on. What a poor example of 'Australian Sportsmanship'. Most people didnt believe me when I tried to explain it to them. Much refreshing, then to watch later that night as our mens 4X400 shone through sheer Athletic ability. Honestly, though, I'd be much happier with a second place gained through being your best than a connived 1st place. Where is Derryn Hinch and his shame file when you need it? Honestly, Lewis has always buged me. Its not like she's ever run a competition time that puts her up there with the best. If only the Jamaicans had held their baton she wouldnt be looking so smug now. Scott Martin's lap of the 'G' has to have been a highlight of mine, along with the way the Telstra Dome crowd got behind the underdogs in every Rugby 7's game that didnt involve the aussies. Actually, i saw that through several events, a love of the underdog, or those who struggled just to finish an event in which they were outclassed. Now to see some similar aussie efforts as we build up to the State Youth Games. PS 'John So is my bro' That was exactly how I felt about Lewis.
