I think Kilauren misses out by a day. I think Pisces starts on February 20th and her birthday is the 19th. That would make her Aquarius. I am a Pisces however. The time difference makes it inconvenient to watch the Games live. Although Australia does well in most Summer Olympics sports, we don't have the training grounds for Winter sports so, we don't usually do so well in Winter Olympics. Therefore, they are considered a minor event here. It's not that snow sports are completely foreign because many Australians head to the alps in the Winter but, our mountains aren't a patch on what Canada or the USA or Europe has. Because of that lack of opportunity, we get very excited by a new hope like Torah. She is a national hero tonight. Her first phone call while she was still on the slopes was from the Prime Minister. Oh, by the way, thanks for Dale Begg-Smith. Mark in Sydney NP Beautiful Burnout - Underworld On 19/02/2010, at 11:45 PM, Catherine McKay wrote: > I really enjoyed watching the snowboarding.

I thought it was later than it is, so Kilauren isn't a Pisces after all. I honestly thought we had passed the 20th, but now that I'm looking right at my calendar, I see this isn't so. Time flies when you're having fun! I don't get the concept of people being from one country, but playing for another. I was watching the damn hockey game last night (and I rarely watch hockey AT ALL, but Olympic hockey goes so much faster than NHL because they're not calling time-outs every two minutes, so its not boring and it doesn't take three hours to play a game that is 3 periods of 20 minutes each) and discovered that the coach of the Swiss team (a really good team!) is a Canadian, and so are the coaches of a lot of Swiss teams. And a lot of athletes from other countries are coached and trained in Canada (or other countries.) So, it makes you wonder, who are they really representing? I don't get it. I think if you were an OK athlete who couldn't make your own country's Olympic team, then maybe you could represent another country that doesn't produce a lot of that kind of athlete, just so you could go to the Olympics, but I have to wonder how *right* that is? I thought you'd need to be a citizen, and, from what I heard about D B-S, they didn't say whether he was or not. So, I went and looked him up and, according to Wikipedia, which, as we know, isn't always right, he was on the Canadian team, but left because they told him he was spending too much time on his business, so he went to Australia, where he was allowed more flexibility. And now he's an Australian citizen, so I guess it's OK. But the fact that he won't talk to media, except for Australian media, makes him come across as a bit of a weirdo. But he's good too, and I won't think of him as a traitor anymore. ;-) ________________________________ From: Mark-Leon Thorne To: Catherine McKay Cc: jonipeople LIST Sent: Fri, February 19, 2010 8:00:43 AM Subject: Re: Happy Birthday and snowboarders Hi Catherine.

Australia has no national baseball league so, anyone who is any good at baseball is in the USA. We have lost basketball players, tennis players, golfers. The earliest sportsman in my memory that we lost was Greg Norman. Not that he could have represented Australia but, it still feels like betrayal. As I said, we don't have very good ski runs here so, if anyone wanted to advance in a mountain based sport, they would either have to emigrate or do a huge amount of travelling. This will be an issue for Dale Begg-Smith if he wants to continue competing. We do have developed ski runs and resorts but they are not to the standard of Canada's. The migrations of athletes is amazing. Some of our most successful athletes have immigrated here. Like, Tatiana Gregorieva. Then again, Wayne Gretzky doesn't seem like a down home old fashioned Canadian name to me. Didn't Nadia Comenici migrate to the USA? I agree with you, Catherine. Athletes should only be allowed to represent the country they grew up in and got their start in their sport in. The Australia press interviewed Canadians in the street about Dale Begg-Smith after he won his silver medal. One man said, "He trained on our Dime". Of course, that makes no sense to Australians but we get what he meant and most would sympathise but we also know how often that happens in reverse. I guess the expression here might be that they trained on our two bob. Mark. On 20/02/2010, at 3:37 AM, Catherine McKay wrote: > You're right.

The great hockey players in the NHL used to be mostly Canadian, (this was ages ago) and they would play for teams in the US (although it's not quite the same as being an Olympic athlete, because they're supposed to be representing their country, whereas a professional athlete - and I use that term loosely because, once upon a time, Olympic athletes were supposed to be "amateurs" - is a different story. Now hockey players come from all over - Sweden and other parts of Europe too. For that matter, we get baseball players and basketball players for our professional teams mostly from the US, because we don't have a lot of good ones here. And when it comes to actors, comedians and musicians, most Canadians who want to make it - including Joni - have to go to the US to do it. I have to say, though, I hate that expression about "doing something on our dime." It sounds too sour grapes for me. ________________________________ From: Mark-Leon Thorne To: Catherine McKay Cc: jonipeople LIST Sent: Fri, February 19, 2010 6:18:25 PM Subject: Re: Happy Birthday and snowboarders now njc Catherine, this sort of thing has been going on for a long, long time and all over the world.
