The recent contrasting behaviour of Australian runners at the Commonwealth Games provides models for us to follow and reject. The 4x400m women's team protesting at England's gold medal when they had been clearly beaten by 10m was a low moment in Aussie running and sport for that matter. Craig Mottram got tripped up and lost out on a potential gold medal, but was able to write it off as part and parcel of racing. He shook the hands of the winner and other place getters and gave a philosophical interview after the race.
Good sport Craig, great attitude! Poor form to the 4x44m team!
The medals they have are a reminder to them of their bad sporting attitude.
