Answer 10

There's been a few pleasant surprises. Stand outs include Awesome Silver win by Sally in hurdles- Cant go past that classic. Bronze then Silver in the 20km and 50 men's walk respectively to be the first Aussie male in something like 100 years to win two medals in the one Olympics games- and only being in two events!. And I'd have to say the double clinched Gold and Bronze in the women's triathlon! Yay Emma for breaking the Aussie triathlon gold barrier and other Emma for backing up the performance with a bronze. Great to watch.
