Valerie Did It! & The Twins Did It Again!!

From no medals to 5 medals in one day. Naturally NZ's 2 golds were won by women.

Valerie won with her first throw of the evening and was never really threatened.

Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell won the Womens Double Sculls gold for the second time, sucessfully defending their Olympic title - by a single onehundreth of a second!

I'm smiling.........

You may be smiling, but the girl on the left isn't. What's wrong with her. She looks about to bite someone's head off. She looks a angry as the Swede who tossed his medals down.

I just read your coments at Piffle and stopped by - and this "Naturally NZ's 2 golds were won by women." made ME smile!

Priscilla, not a flattering shot I admit. No tossing of medals, Val had to wait t day to be presented with hers

Hi Coffee-drinking-woman. Yes NZ women are a a fairly stroppy independant lot - we've all had the vote since 1893.
