On Monday the Waikato
Times ran an expanded version of this
Fairfax story about two of our Commonwealth Games athletes having a niggle.
In the 5000m Nick Wills inadvertently tripped Jake Robertson who, let’s say,
expressed his disappointment. All’s well that ends well:
Asked if he and Robertson had spoken, Willis said: “I gave him a hug and kiss after the race when he congratulated me on my medal just now, that’s all we’ve talked about.”
The WaikTimes
expanded remix includes a quote from Athletics New Zealand’s Australian-born high-performance
coach Scott Goodman:
“I will do whatever I can to help them. They can be the real duck’s guts [Australian term for brilliant].”
So it has come to this: subtitles for Australians.
