Our partner and one of the most patriotic Australians in history, Mrs Gina Rinehart AO, was able to join the Australian Dolphins in Japan this week as they raced against the world so well. Mrs Rinehart is the Major sponsor of the Australian Dolphins and this way enables them to be able to afford the long training programs that each athlete commits to, making it almost impossible to also engage in paid employment with the limited hours left each week and all of the disruption with training away and competing.

The celebrations never last long in swimming. Given a night off to party hard in Japan after dominating the world championships, Australia’s swimmers were also given a reminder that the hard work will start all over again once they get home. After finishing the championships as the number one team in the world – winning 13 gold medals and a record 25 in total – the Dolphins deserved their chance to let their hair down. And they sure did that, spotted kicking up their heels at some of the hottest night clubs in Fukuoka on Sunday. They had every reason to kick up their heels after eight days of intense competition because their performances – which included five world records – were exceptional.

But I’m not taking anything away from the US and they won the award based on the criteria that was there.”
