Yay Dipali welcome!

Yes there are quite a few good aussies. They are usually pretty good on the track, but weren't so good at the World Champs I went to last week. There's a few that feature on the European tours though. And you have your very own tour down under.

Kutenurse, an America called Jenny Read beat one of our gold medals into silver at the track world champs yesterday. Victoria Pendleton had already won two golds, was the current world champ, people would have bet their houses on her winning, and then your jenny read won! I was pleased for her in a way, as the commentators were saying she is getting on a bit and had got loads of 4th places before, so it's nice she can retire with a medal.

But, not to brag too much, here is the final medal results. GB got more golds than anyone else got medals! Roll on the olympics
Team G S B Tot Britain 9 2 0 11 Netherlands 3 3 2 8 Belarus 2 0 1 3 France 1 3 3 7 United States 1 1 1 3 Cuba 1 1 0 2 New Zealand 1 0 0 1 Denmark 0 2 1 3 Lithuania 0 2 0 2 Germany 0 1 4 5 Australia 0 1 3 3 China 0 1 0 1 Ukraine 0 1 0 1 Greece 0 0 1 1 Italy 0 0 1 1 Russia 0 0 1 1
