The hatchets are already out,blaming the coaches and the athletes' 'attitude' and ' lack of discipline'. One athlete said all that needs to be said,in my opinion "we were beaten by a better side"
The churlish attitude being displayed in our media makes me want to throw up,reinforcing my disinterest in the Olympic Games since they were professionalised. I like to watch the ice skating, gymnastics and ski jumping for the aesthetics,not the competition.
I can blame that on Australians having a grossly inflated sense of importance in the world. We think we are as important as the United Kingdom, while in fact we are about as important as the Netherlands or Poland.
