London, England— Wednesday, following his team's 64 points to 52 win over Canada, Wikinews interviewed Greg Smith of Australia's national wheelchair rugby team.
((Laura Hale))  You were the flag bearer for Australia. The Canadians had a flag bearer out there. Any special meaning in this game with two flag bearers from your sport?
((Laura Hale))   Before this game we had an opportunity to talk to [one of the founders] of the sport, Duncan Campbell, and he said the Canadians were supposed to beat you by a few points. 
((Hawkeye7))  You've already got [three] Paralympic gold medals, and yet you switched to wheelchair rugby.  Why was that?
((Laura Hale))  You guys think you have a serious shot at the medals?
((Laura Hale))  You played a great game.
