Not all men look sexy when they cry. Some look like big red baldy bears.

But the show of emotion is endearing all the same. Well done Mr Hackett! He just successfully defended the 1500m freestyle title on what has been a golden day for Australia.

P.S. Memo to journos, can we please give up that horrible phrase "guts and glory"?! Sporting prowess does not just come from the gut. Some alternatives:

• Biceps and Brilliance
• Shoulders and Success
• Arse and Achievement
