BEST OLYMPICS EVER

Previous Worms have given varying degrees of coverage to the Olympic Games, but this morning Australia’s progress warrants absolute top billing with four more gold medals overnight taking the country’s tally to a record 18, making Paris its greatest Olympics ever.

On an incredible Day 12, the four golds (so far) have come from skateboarder Keegan Palmer, who defended his title in the men’s park event, Matt Wearn who also defended his title in the men’s dinghy, the men’s pursuit team who were victorious in a pulsating final against Great Britain in the velodrome, and, not long ago, Nina Kennedy who won the women’s pole vault.
