Double vision

Australian flag bearer for the opening bash, Jane Saville led home an Australian one-two-three in the 20km walk - with sister Natalie taking silver. But you will need to keep your eyes peeled for another pair of siblings in the men's 20km walk later on Monday. Dominic and Daniel King compete for England - but the pair are identical twins. Their careers aren't identical though as Dominic took part in the Manchester Games four years ago where unfortunately he was disqualified.

Surely if we have a pair of identical twins there is some way we can get at least one of them to win.

Can't one of them go for a 'natural break' behind a bush on the course, at a spot where the identical brother is waiting? A set of fresh legs wouldn't go amiss half way through a walking event.

Hi Guys, I have recently made a post on my blog (workingnomad.com) about the completely biased coverage by Australian Channel Nine here in Melbourne.

Has either of you guys witnessed Channel Nine?

Luckily I have tickets for the events I want to see so I can give Channel Nine the boot!

Thanks,

Anthony.
