In this picture (taken on Sept 02, 2012), you see Australian sports minister Kate Lundy, an avid rower, who has just finished rowing 1000 meters at the rowing course at Eton Dorney, in England. Curiously, she is wearing Team Great Britain colours (red and blue).

She had made a bet with her British counterpart (whom you see in the picture) as to which of their nations would win more medals at the recently concluded Olympics. Since she lost, she had to row the course. If Australia had ended up with more, he would have dribbled a hockey ball in Aussie colours.
More on the wager.
