Day three recap...

Confusion reigns at the two venues.
----------------------------------------

The final cat flying/leaping finals have begun.

At the stadium next door the meowing preliminaries also began.

Fans watching the Flying competition heard the athletes yowling for attention and this caused concerned afficianados to leave the flying arena and crowd into the meowing venue with sacks of treats and kind words for them.


After officials reassured the concerned fans that the athletes were merely warming up and in no need of treats, scritches or headbumpies, they were herded back to the building where the
cat flying finals were to continue.

Cat Meowing
------------------------------------------

Cat Meowing is a realtively new sport at these 2004 games.
It takes it's roots from begging for treats, attention or no reason at all!

Owners were expected to run to where the meowing came from and attend to the heart wrenching cries for ???? It's been one of the oldest disciplines across history and it's making it's debut here in Athens.

Aussie team arrives
-------------------------------------------

The slow boat from China docked and finally the Aussie contingent has arrived. When asked about the delay a team spokesman only said, "Who knew there'd be rats on the boat?
We were able to combine some practice, hunting and all around
fun on the trip over, We lost track of time......"

Welcome Aussies!!
