Ryley Batt puts his wheelchair onto one wheel and wheelies across the court before the game.
He can also do bunny hops
Commentator calls him "Houdini". Ryley is FAST. British commentators are amazed. He seems to pass through gaps that no one else can see. Can move faster than anyone else on either team. Likes to share the ball with low point players.
For the Australian team objectives, see the interview with Michael
Scott and H pin Hickling in a corner. He cnnot escape. Gets really aggro. Rest of team has no hope against Batt and Bond, who are running riot.
Crowd boos when Ryley Batt knocked down from behind.
Announcer announced Australian medal count, and said that Australia was fifth.
The presenters was notified at the last minute. Uploaded sheet. Not sure who was the late change, Edward Windsor or Stephen Fry.
Stephen Fry gets more appalause than HRH. Waves to crod in acknowledgemnt.
Saw Jason, Michael and Kate at the game. Photogrphed them too but unable to upload. Will try later.
Strange but true: nobody is as overjoyed at winning a gold medal as Greg Smith, although he already has three. Knows all the drill. He bites the medal and raised his hands in the air.
Crowd getting e,motional during national anthem due to end of games. Still mumble rather than sing it.
Copyedits were needed to make the text less editorial.
There were some serious sourcing problems.
Team objectives clearly needed attribution; the talk page only alluded to an interview, for which documentation was not provided and no specific directions were given for where to find it. Couldn't determine attribution, let alone confirm.
The various scores were based on scans emailed to scoop, but the scans of the relevant page for the scores were largely illegible; it was nearly impossible to decipher the athlete's names, let alone the numbers next to them. Of all the data more-or-less corroborated thereby, Batt's score total was the worst — two digits, the first having a squiggly right-hand side so it could conceivably have been a 3, and the second with a slanting line that could have been part of a 7.
Didn't find anything at all about the medal counts (except the reference to "fifth" on the talk-page notes), which are a sort fo thing it's really easy to get wrong. Managed to dig up the final medal totals on the official web site, and since they matched the claims here for the results of this game, that lent plausibility to the otherwise entirely-unsupported claim that this was their last gold medal.
Seriously, folks, do better than this on documenting article construction.
The images did not have copyright data; I laboriously filled it in. We mustn't publish an article with images on it that have no copyright data. Note there is a plan described on the water cooler for future bot improvement to address this problem.
This is, of course, OR, giving its freshness a bit more staying power than that of synthesis.
The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
