Plus she will hate the reference to hello kitty lol

No she will think its all about her!

Could be worse I suppose with the head of Athletics Australia being Mark Arbib!!!

with the quality of press in this country they would complain about the order of athletes disembarking.

 

[JackNah_8]

Just let the flag bearers come out first, not Kitty.

 

[sydney eagle]

She'll still find something to complain about it.

Plus she will hate the reference to hello kitty lol

The creators of hello kitty will have every right to feel annoyed about being associated with her !

THE 2016 Olympic Kitty Shockers

- Leaves out Tomic and Kyrios from the tennis, making us have zero hope in that...on the basis of 'um..they were naught'
- Bans athletes from ceremonies for staying over at a best friends house...then backflips on this to save herself lol
- Predicts a medal tally twice of what was realistic!
- Gets off the plane first when it is the ATHLETES welcoming home, not the Kitty welcome home!

 

[masai]

Well look who wants to keep her job and stay in the spotlight for the next 4 years.

Apart from the fact she seemed to make these games as much about her as possible, from a purely performance perspective we had our worst Olympic result since Barcelona.

But the hello kitty jokes will be flying thick and fast if she stays on.

Is Kitty a good friend of Nova ?.

Don't forget the fake basketball tickets given to the athletes, she probably played a part in that

Placing curfews

We can write a book about kitty

I can't think of a worse book to read!

At least Paris Hilton's book would then be the 2nd worst book ever!

Think you're a bit harsh on Kitty there. Points 2&3 would be from the AOC, she was merely the spokeswoman.

However I did find some footage of Kitty arriving

A book highlighting her failures.... I bet other nations have better chef de mission. It's unfair we get an attention seeker and a dud.

I find it funny that she says after Mack Horton calls out Sun Yang, that "We all athletes to be themselves" but makes sure that Tomic and Kyrgios are not allowed or basically draws out Flanagan's issue and just stops her from going. DUI is apparently a lot better than being Nick and Bernard.

The thing that she stands directly behind Meares in the Olympic Opening Parade of Nations was lol and then the plane thing was loler. Oh Kitty...

Please provide evidence of Kitty affecting Anna Flanagan's ability to attend the games. I resume you think Kitty was also to blame for Michael Diamond not going!

I know a bit about the background in relation to Anna Flanagan, it had bugger all to do with Kitty.

Anna's boat had been sinking for a while.

 

[JackNah_8]

Flanagan was allowed to attend the games by AOC but wasn't selected by the coach? (I cant remember the exact details)

 

[The Passenger]

lol at the team manager deciding she'd be the face of the welcome home party.

 

[JackNah_8]

Our athletes want more funding...um ok,

If we want to push for medals then we need to increase funding. Unfortunately it's the way it is now.

 

[JackNah_8]

I think Europe has a good system and why not offer a hecs-type funding program.
