The Australian sports minister is set to don a GB vest and row a length at Eton Dorney after her British counterpart Hugh Robertson won a bet over which country would win more medals at London 2012. Senator Kate Lundy, the Australian sports minister, will wear a GB vest while rowing at Eton Dorney (Picture: Getty) The bet was struck with Aussie minister Kate Lundy, and with GB standing third in the medal table ? while Australia languish in 11th place ? she admitted defeat and will now take to the water at Windsor. She told ITV?s Daybreak: ?If Australia got more gold medals then Hugh was going to put on a hockey T-shirt and dribble the ball around Australia House. ?But if Britain got more gold medals I had to wear the GB shirt and row a length at Eton Dorney. ?I have cheerfully conceded that I think I will be rowing this time around.? The Australian minister also admitted that she was surprised at her country?s medal haul, with just four golds so far, but praised the British performances. ?I think a lot of Australians are looking at the result saying: ?Where are we??. But can I say all credit to the British athletes who are having a fantastic Olympic Games.? PICTURES: Images from London 2012
