Much has evidently been made of Australia's performance at the London Olympic games. Some are arguing that Australia should be providing more funding to sports, I even saw a graph that suggests that the rise in sports funding correlates with a downwards trend in how many Gold medals Australia has won.
But I just think back to the Beijing Olympics. My favourite moment involving an Australian didn't end with a Gold medal, it ended with Silver. Sally Pearson's pure joy at attaining a silver medal in Beijing, dancing about with her fellow competitors following the race, was the best moment of the Olympics because of the joy and surprise the occasion presented.
