Bad week for Australians in sport. Australian cricketers went badly in Sri Lanka, beaten in womens volley ball and beaten in the speedway championships. Talked about Grand Final and Mick Malthouse crying. Roy saying how un-Austrlian it was and how Collingwood would now be known as a bunch of cry babies.

Yana Pittman

Australian womens hurdler. Talks about counting steps between hurdles and how the more steps you do the better. Roy suggests start of with 15 steps for the first hurdle and work her way up to 19 on the last hurdle. After a form slump went on an eating binge and put on a lot of weight. Boyfriend told her that she was fat. Says athletes often get fat after a major event has finished because have spent so much time under a strict dieting regime.
