They used Nigaloo, the white whale, as the mascot for the games. Beautiful choice! :swoon:

Nigaloo?

Sounds like a crib belonging to a Canadian Gangsta rapper.

It's a famous white whale which we see each year on its way to and from Antarctica. The Japanese will probably harpoon it now that they know about it.. :(

I just heard that all three of them accepted their suspensions without appeal. The best thing they've done in all this saga.

Casta Semenya just won xir heat in the 1500m. Is there still controversy surrounding her?

The bowls was good. Very exciting.

I enjoy bowls. Lots of skill and tactics.

Australia is smashing the shit out of everyone in the swimming. We just won our 4th clean sweep (gold, silver, bronze in the one event) so far, with two of them today. Quite possibly another one coming up in about a minute.*

Also been enjoying the shooting and weightlifting. The athletics has started now, so there's lots to watch there too. An Australian guy won gold in one of the disabled categories 100m sprint in 11 seconds with cerebral palsy and a gigantic moustache.. :)

How do they manage to cheat in the swimming?

Do they get shorter lanes? Or is it translucent webbing for the hands and feet?

It will all come out in the wash. Expect more blubbering and tears.
