It is, indeed, a shame. However, it is my understanding that Ian Thorpe voluntarily retired from competitive swimming. It was his own choice. I'm sure I can speak for most Australians, as well as swim fans everywhere, when I say what a shame it is that he has retired. :'(

Yes, Thorpie is a favourite with all Aussies.......
And Grant Hackett came sixth Kerry.......his race is the 1500....thats the one he will win gold....

I don't watch a lot of t.v. unless I Tivo it, so no, I won't be watching this. I don't think Ive ever watched the Olympics.

Cannot believe the announcers of the women's gymnastic are lamenting the "good ole days" of Romanian gymnastics when Karolyi was in charge.
Karolyi is a martinet. His training regime back in the days of Nadia was brutal and cruel and did not take into account the mental, physical or emotional health of the young girls in his charge.
He's a shit.
