Your PDF does not work. Y would Australia be teamed up with NZ as 'Oceania'? THe IOC does not recognize regions as entrants in the actual events: only recognized countries -- so why would you even say that? :blink:
I'm just stirring. As GBR is made up of England, Wales and Scotland, I was saying if Australia and New Zealand teamed up they would dominate as they have two very good squads. I'm more just poking fun at the British is all for having three countries to pick talent from. It wasn't a literal suggestion.

I have a question for you; why do you write 'why' as 'Y'? Is it really that much more efficient for you to type?

ROWING
Link to PDF of qualified boats for London 2012.
http://www.worldrowi...t_Bled_2011_WCH).pdf

Great Britain qualified 13 of 14 boats
New Zealand - 11/14
Germany - 11/14
Australia - 10/14
USA - 8/14
China - 8/14
Canada - 7/14
Italy - 6/14

Really looking forward to the Olympic Regatta. If Australia teamed up with New Zealand as 'Oceania', they would clean up. But unlike GBR, we like to go it alone with separate talent pools ;)

From what I have heard, Brisbane will get next chance at bidding on behalf of Australia, but being a serious candidate is another thing. 2028 would be the first bid of a necessary three-bid cycle you would think. With Melbourne the most likely trump card city to win a games.

I would prefer Istanbul too. Really like the swimming venue.

Golden Horn doesn't seem like it would be suitable for rowing. Do you have another venue Olimpik?

World Junior Rowing Championships are on at the moment as the test event for the rowing course at Lake Dorney, Eton.
