Good on the Aussies, who seem to have done well at this Games.

Shame on Australian TV which showed the first two dives, skipped the rest to show only some of the final dives- hardly gives you an understanding of who was the best when you miss half the dives! OH well I guess they will show it about 15 times today so nothing will be missed...

Oh well, there goes the theory that judges are being routinely bribed to give Chinese higher scores. The silver medallist must have been gutted! Well done to all the medallists.

Australia did well with 14 gold top spots, in various sport disciplines.

I am happy for him. He should be really proud to give Australia its first diving gold for men, or at least in 80+years.

Well, the Chinese can't have it all. But whatta you know ( are you listening boobug? ), the Chinese have also reached that "magical" 100-medal barrier. As I told before, nothing to brag about.

Good to see a proud gay man declare himself just that as he was interviewed as well.
