[quote=DODGER,315431]Hooker, the Australian winner of the pole vault was almost disqualified at one point in the competition for giving another competitor advice on wind direction. Perhaps a demonstration of the camaraderie that exists between world class athletes. Very few people really understand just what needs to be done to be able to perform at that level. The jingoism that is created by the media to feed the masses is just that, bread for the circus. Anyone with the smallest grasp as to the history of the modern Olympics would understand why it was re-launched in the last centenary and it wasn’t to give oxygen to any nationalism movement. I choose to ignore any sort of medal tally on that very basis. I applaud and salute all of the athletes no matter where they are from. Why don’t we all just do that. Now, I’m off the church, who’s coming? Dodger. [/quote]
