hooker

"oh, my, god! annd oh, my, god!"
if you know me, you'll know exactly how i would have said that...

aussie has never won a medal in the pole vault event
but tonight
steve hooker won!!!
its gold medal and an olympic record
fantastic!!!

when asked how he feels, he said:
"i feel on top of the world!!! it is amazing"
i feel on top of the world too hahaha so affected!!!

and i was so touched when he said:
"i want to thank my parents - they are the most supportive parents - they are so great!!!"
makes me miss my mang ang pang

and, aussie as he is:
"im sure my friends are in the pub now kicking some beers for me"
"i know they are all watching, thank you australia"
yah, its already sooo late and im still watching, you are welcome

he also shared his medal to his coach:
"he is one of my best mates, im so privileged to work with him, this is his win too!"
that makes me miss my mentors

and for the last question - so how will you celebrate tonight?:
"i am with so many amazing people right now, for sure will find something fun to do"

go go aussie aussie!!!
