CONGRATULATIONS to Chris "Macca" McCormick (8.15.34) and Craig Alexander (8.19.04)who not only battled the rest of the world's best athletes to take out first and second place but also the heat of the island of Kona in Hawaii. What an incredible feat ! The last Aussie to win there (Greg Welch) was on hand commenting the race and was one of Macca's idols and heroes when he used to watch the race growing up.
Not to be outdone three Aussies also finished in the Women's Top 10 in 5th, 6th and 9th place which bodes well for the sport here in Australia. Let's hope that these awesome athletes get the same amount of media support and publicity that our other sporting teams get upon their return !!!
