Jacqueline Freney & Matthew Cowdry - Superstars

None of the superlatives I can think of are enough to describe Australian swimmers Jacqueline Freney and Matthew Cowdrey.  Matt is the all-time greatest paralympian ever and Jacqueline won eight gold medals from eight events.  I can believe it because I saw it with my own eyes.  If these two were representing GB they would be knighted by now.  Sir Matthew Cowdry sounds rather good.......
Disappointingly, the Australian media, with the exception of the ABC, barely acknowledge, not only these two, but the rest of this amazing team.  Our abled bodied athletes could learn a lot from their humility and sheer joy they get from doing what they love (and I guess sometimes hate), and the fact that getting a PB was better than winning a medal.  What really left me in complete awe were the armless swimmers! How hard must that be?  At what age, I wonder, does some-one without limbs decide that they want to swim butterfly.  I can't even do it with two arms!!!! 
Thanks to the ABC for their great coverage and thanks to some of Australia's finest ambassadors.
