Australians have had mixed reactions to her meltdown.

Young aussies aren't taught how to lose and how to lose gracefully.They have a almost arrogant attitude that they can't be beaten,it was great to see them suffer some humiliation especially with the mens 4x100 relay that everyone expected them to win and they totally crashed out,grow some backbone,show some grace and admit that on the day you were beaten by someone better,oh and by the way,wake up and realize that there are other countries competing at the games.I'm taking huge delight over here in oz at the fact that our little ol'Nu Zelund is winning more golds than the aussies,good luck to all our athletes.
