It was an exciting game. The RG's had an early lead, but the Ice tied it up in the 9th and won in extra innings 8 - 7

kathlyn picked the number 8, so she is the winner of this SPORTS QUICKIE

Australian flagbearer Kurt Fearnley says the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony broadcast gaffe must be put into perspective, saying there are issues affecting people with disabilities that are more worthy of "firing up" about.

Television viewers were denied the chance to watch para-athlete Fearnley lead the Australian team into Carrara Stadium, with organisers deciding to bring all athletes into the grounds before the ceremony so they didn't have to "stand around".

That decision has been widely criticised, including live on air by Channel 7 commentators Johanna Griggs and Basil Zempilas, while Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) chairman Peter Beattie admitting that they "stuffed up".

But in an interview with wheelchair tennis star Dylan Alcott on radio's Triple j Breakfast, Fearnley, who heads into retirement from representing Australia with a marathon gold, said there were far greater issues affecting people with disabilities that were worth highlighting.

"If we're going to fire up, I just kept thinking about it, there's so many reasons that we could be firing up right now," Fearnley said.

From everything I read and what you have posted, its seems like everything the committee did for the closing ceremonies was totally wrong.

That's right, John. Considering the lead time (years) in planning for a CG . . . you'd think the organisers would have considered their options more carefully. As it was, they very quickly cried 'mea culpa' and apologised profusely!
