Australian sports minister Kate Ellis has honoured her Olympic bet with British counterpart Gerry Sutcliffe.The pair had wagered on their nations' final positions in the Beijing medals table, and Ellis lost out as Team GB won 19 golds to Australia's 14.
She therefore accepted the ultimate humilation for an Aussie sports fan by donning a Team GB top during a visit to the Paralympic Games in China. Ellis was magnanimous in defeat. "It's great that there's a healthy rivalry between our two nations and I congratulate Great Britain on their success at the Olympics," she said.
"I'll eat a little humble pie along with the Australian team and we'll work a little harder for our future success."
