BBC News Article
This is an article from the BBC today that mentioned Australia's sporting success:

JB Sharp 13th Aug 06
Well done guys, two wins and a few good performances.
Here's a few photos of the parents and competitors. Good win in Novice Quad (blue) and single (Gus Macgregor). Likewise a very good effort in a scratch crew in the red quad.
Thanks to those parents who helped with the loading and unlaoding of the boats, without it there would have been no boats at the Regatta.
There will be roster basis of helpers for the coming regattas to ensure ...

Day 3 - US Masters Rowing Seattle
Started well in the D4- but over rated, led till the 850 metre mark and passed by a better Kent Mitchell Rowing Club crew (privately owned with sponsored rowers, all ex-nationals) to take silver.
In the D4x started very well and led by 1 length at the 300 metre mark when we hit a buoy (booee) (unfortunately course buoys are 12 inches high), Campbell's blade broke around pin (send to Croker) and that was the end of the ...

MRC Time Trial :: 2 August 2006
Guys, well where was everyone? Ten starters commenced the TT this am.
Big Jim Bat turned up at the start to check out the speed of the crews but had a cold, and also the DNS and DNF excuse.
