Gah - this means New Zealand is now ahead of Australia on the medal table!

Let's hope it's not an omen for the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup ...

Is there a one-person Haka for the shot put?

(Though off-topic, I'm adding some video footage of the NZ rugby team's pre-game haka, just so non-rugby folks will know what we're talking about)

A haka is a Maori posture dance, one version of which has been adapted by the All Blacks to get psyched for the game and scare the you-know-what out of their opponents. Check out the faces of the South African players as they watch: priceless...

(Also off-topic) Nice to see Tana Umaga leading the haka in the clip you've put up jordan..
