Jana Starts Early

Although the London Olympics don’t start for two whole years, according to my big ticking Olympics watch, Australia’s biggest prospect and finest athlete (it says here) Jana Rawlinson, has started her preparations early.
For years, the season of the Games has been marked by a seemingly endless series of comedy mishaps and capers from Rawlinson. The press have taken to following her around, just to see what she’d do next to make sure she never, ever won the gold medal she wants so dearly. But now she’s caught everyone by surprise by announcing that her breast implants are coming out in the name of Olympic glory. “I loved having bigger boobs but I’m back to being as flat as a pancake,” she told an excited nation, as everyone wondered when exactly she’d be picking up the next foot injury, knee injury, or slating a few athletes who’d wandered into her line of sight.
In other news, Rawlinson announced that, as soon as her divorce from British hurdler Chris Rawlinson was finalised, she’d be marrying British hurdler Chris Rawlinson. Can’t wait for two more years of this.

“It's changed my whole life. I can move here now, play the circuit and really push these guys.”

Brisbane’s darts star Simon Whitlock, moving to England where they actually have boards to practise on.

Anyone who’s read Andre Agassi’s brilliant autobiography, in which everyone he meets (except Pat Rafter, obviously) turns out to be a total %$#@**, will be unamazed to hear that the “simmering feud” (love that simmer) between Lleyton Hewitt and Bernard Tomic is likely to be fixed when they’re having snowball fights in hell. Most other sports, you’d make a quick phone call and maybe go for a beer. But tennis players? Nice is just a four-letter word, man.

Quick! Who’s the saviour of Australian cricket? Is it Marcus North? No! Is it Nervy Shane Watson? No! Is it Andrew McDonald? Aaargh! Is it Phil Hughes? Maybe! That Shaun Marsh can hold a bat, but. Draft him in. And his brother. The Fabulous Flying Marsh Brothers! That’s who will save us. Pakistan, though. Really good side. Full of stars. Sigh.
