The Olympics are Over.

It has been tough for the past two months with the Olympics rapidly following the Tour de France.

Any Aussie wanting to see these events live needed to stay up late at night, and for the Olympics sometimes get up early.

That has now finished and one can revert to a normal sleeping pattern.

There is to be a degree of soul searching over the performance of Australian competitors, as many believe we have not done well.  Lets just congratulate those who mad the standards to compete.  They are pretty tough anyway.

The sailing was terrific, and Australia has at last received some rewards in this area.  The women's match racing was excellent, with the final between Australia and Spain a bit of a gut wrenching event for Australia with the skipper being lost overboard..........you have to go back and get them!!!  So Australia won the silver medal.  But it was quite a good spectacle to watch.

If you have been watching late night European sport.......well..........yes, the Vuelta is coming soon.

Back to some late night TV soon.
