Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2270361, member: 1853"] That just shows how little Fitzsimmons knows. The amount of work Dale Begg-Smith has put in to developing the Australian Winter Olympics program - not just moguls but others sport as well - is astounding, especially for someone who is a still currently competing athlete. If he didn't give a fig about Australia, then he would purely and simply focus on doing just what he has to do for his own success - as so many sportspeople do across pretty much every sport. Wouldn't have taken Fitzsimmons any more research than 1 phone call to the AOC or Ski and Snow Australia to find that out - but no it's easier to just take pot-shots than to actually find out some facts. And as for him "living in Vancouver" FFS - pretty much no Winter Athlete spends more than a max of 2/3 months in Australia a year, because - oh yeah we don't have any bloody snow!!!! In fact most Australian athletes in international sports don't LIVE in Australia because it simply isn't practical. And maybe he looked so pissed off on the podium because he loves Australia so much he was disappointed that he didn't get the Gold for his country. The thing is none of us knows what was going through his mind at the time and none of us know his true personality - there are a lot of people in this world who just don't show emotion publically. Seriously I am sick and tired of Australian's having to put people down all the time instead of celebrating their success. [/QUOTE]
