Twice now Ian Thorpe's stuck a bunch of flowers in the US competitor's face during the podium photograph.
During the 400 freestyle ceremony he put his non-flower encumbered hand around Grant Hackett's shoulder, and the flowers in Klete Keller's face. After the 200 freestyle today his clear hand went around van den Hoogenband, and the flowers to Michael Phelps. One more time and you'd think it might be deliberate...
(OK, so I find the first week of the Olympics boring. Still watching at 2:30AM, but it's definitely a little boring. Except Yawara-chan of course.)
