Only 1/2 the family complement of LRJ's tonight, and we got Gold.
Inspired by hearing your mate Kenny on the ABC in the build up to the race in the car on the drive home. No show pony that lad.
Chez Jarse was pumping more than it was when Radike Samo scored against the Darkness last year, as the lads crossed 750 metres. Edge of the seat stuff and lots of yelling support from afar.
Well played Hugh, those LRJs have sequestered much "luckiness"!
Yes, Ken is very much a "laid-back" lad, sadly I missed that interview.
Ken proposed to his girl friend Naomi after his final, after paddling with 'the ring' hanging around his neck! They have been an item for over six years and both lots of parents and some family members are over at Eton Dorney. Naomi and her parents have been friends of ours for 25 years, and I'm looking after their house and garden whilst they are enjoying the "Olympic experience"!
I have personally held 3 Olympic medals: Ken's Gold and bronze, and a soccer gold. I wonder how many Australians have held, or even seen, an Olympic soccer/football gold medal?!!
My LRJ's assisted 16 year-old Gold Coaster Brittany Broben to the dizzy heights (pardon the pun) of winning a silver medal in the 10 metre womens platform diving! That's one 'Brit' who we all wanted to do well!
