Fresh Dribble

The party capital of the world this Saturday night would have to be Vilnius. There's fireworks, flags and dancing in the streets as Lithuania has just defeated the USA 94-90 in the basketball.

This tiny wee Baltic nation is bonkers for basketball, here's hoping they can keep going into the finals. And keep up that party mood, guys - I'm off to Lithuania next week for a holiday!

Retraction

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.

Now hurry up and grow your hair back, buddy.

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
  

Tasty Tears

Is it just me or is it incredibly sexy when sporty men cry?

Today Britain's Matthew Pinsent took his fourth successive Olympic gold as part of the coxless fours team. No wonder the fella's emotional. I think the laurel wreath really adds to the look, I just wish they'd take my advice on the togas.

UPDATE: It's been a champagne day for Britain, with a gaggle of golds and minor metal. I can't help feeling proud of em, despite my loyalties being further south. The UK press were so quick, as always, to savage the Team GB in the first few days of competition, writing them off Worst Team Ever and trotting out the usual editorials questioning the millions of Lottery funds poured into UK sport. So Saturday has been a big finger to those scumbags. Scumbags who'll no doubt be crowing about Our Heroes in full colour liftouts in the Sunday papers.
