Hi Ronni,
Not only was it a great race, the crews showed great spirit and dignity after 
the finish and at the medal presentation.

Cheers, 

Michael.

[Ronda Brown]

Thanks Stephen,

Yes it was a great race, we did not expect the Brits to start so fast, It was a 
surprise tactic.
Lane 2 was not as protected for Australia, but you can't take anything away 
from the British Team, they rowed a excellent race and deserved to win the Gold 
medal.

We are very very proud of our Aussie Team and of course we are exceptionally 
proud of "Our Will". Did you recognise in the medal presentation that he has my 
blonde features :-))

I had a phone call from my Brother and family after the Final and the boys are 
proud of their Silver Medal... They wish it was gold, but they gave it 
everything on the day and very happy with Silver!

Kind Regards,
Ronni

Re: OT - Australia Men's Four (Oarsome Foursome) Rowing for Gold Sat. Night

[Ronda Brown]

There are two Finals of the Men's Four one is FINAL B (which does not have an 
Australian Team competing) 
and FINAL A (which has our Australian Team competing)

It was listed that the FINAL 'B' would be run first at 5:30PM WST and the FINAL 
'A' (our Aussie Team) would be run after that at 6:30PM WST
Now I notice they just have listed "Men's Four Finals" 5.30PM WST.

So I will be watching from 5:30PM onwards  don't want to miss it!!!
I have set EyeTV to record as well, so covering all bases :)
Champagne is chilled ;-))

Chn Nine 9 & GEM 90 are televising live from 3:30PM

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Ronni
 
 I have been enjoying the rowing so it will be nice to share a personal 
 interest this evening. Today's West has the Men's fours final scheduled 
 for 5.30 pm. Maybe some preliminary lead up to the actual event. Also 
 describes it as "the most anticipated showdown of the regatta with the 
 Poms the favourites". Good luck to your family.

And rowing is the only sport where you sit down and go backwards!   I see that 
720ABC is slating the final for 6.30pm WST

 They are in a very good position to beat the British team, the team are 
 feeling very confident they have the speed and technique . They rowed an 
 Olympic fastest time and feel they can better that speed in the final.  My 
 brother phoned me tonight and said the team have something 'up their 
 sleeve' for the Final... We hope so and wish them all the best of Aussie 
 Luck.
 
 Bring Home Gold!
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: OT - Australia Men's Four (Oarsome Foursome) Rowing for Gold Sat. Night

[Ronda Brown]

OK Bill, I'm wrong with 'Bow' then because Will is the fourth rower at the back 
of the boat...(good looking kid like his Auntie:)
John Dunkley-Smith is the first rower at the front of the boat... we want the 
front of the boat across the line first :)

Re: OT - Australia Men's Four (Oarsome Foursome) Rowing for Gold Sat. Night

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Laura & Tom & anyone else interested in the "Men's Four" Rowing Final A.

Thanks Laura for the Good Luck... Aussie Good Luck!

A very kind  person emailed me offlist to tell me that 'Final A' which is the 
one the 'Oarsome Foursome' and our 'Will' is in, is on at 5:30PM today not 
6:30PM as I mentioned previously.

Then I had a phone call from my sister in Melbourne alerting me to the change 
of time.
Originally the "Men's Four Final B" was to be run at 5:30PM and Will's "Men's 
Four Final A" was listed to be run at 6:30PM.

The Final B must have been run earlier?

There has been a lot of press since the first heat of the Men's Fours A saying 
this is the best chance Australia has had since the last 'Oarsome Foursome' of 
years ago to knock the British Team off. In their first heat they rowed a 
Olympic Best time, which got the Media in an frenzy and the British worried ;-)

I noticed the odds are still in favour of the British Team (and should be as 
they are the World's Best & have been for some time), but our team have the 
speed and technique to beat them, if everything goes according to plan :))

They will be giving the race their all; they know they can go even faster... 
and they want Gold!
Our family are very excited and very proud of the team.

Just before 5:30PM the champagne will be opened at my place in anticipation of 
the boys bringing home GOLD for Australia!
Whatever happens we are very proud of the four rowers and of course especially 
of "Our Will"!

Bring Home GOLD!

Cheers,
Ronni

Actually Ronni the man in bow position is No 1 ( and gets across the line first 
- which is what we are hoping for)

Hi Ronni

I have been enjoying the rowing so it will be nice to share a personal interest 
this evening. Today's West has the Men's fours final scheduled for 5.30 pm. 
Maybe some preliminary lead up to the actual event. Also describes it as "the 
most anticipated showdown of the regatta with the Poms the favourites". Good 
luck to your family.

Kind regards
Laura

THank you for not attending the Olympics. You already have the Gold medal for 
taking us all to Mac olympus. Without you there would be no WAMUG and we would 
be fighting the Titans of unknown maladies.
