First gold in the Field for 60 years

and guess what the last was


John Winter (3 December 1924 – 5 December 2007), also known as Jack Winter, was an Australian high jumper who won that event at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London with a jump of 1.98 metres (6 ft. 6 in.)

A 23-year-old bank teller, Winter won Australia's first, and to this day only Olympic high jump gold medal.

then along came a HOOKER

[Wedgie]

That was amazing, didn't even know we were a chance of a medal in the pole vault!

Absolutely stuffed but had some things to do at home before I hit the sack and glad I stayed up!

Fair dinkum how good was that last night, Steve Hooker was just unreal. I like him better because he looks like a late 80s Dermie All he needs is a VFL Hawthorn guernsey
