MARONEY COMES CROPPER AT COOGEE

SYDNEY, SATURDAY: Suzie Maroney's brave attempt to circumnavigate Antarctica ended in tears on Saturday night after the champion distance swimmer stubbed her toe leaving the Coogee Bay Hotel after a night out with the girls.

Despite being lathered in protective grease, surrounded by a shark net and urged on through loud hailers by her support team, Maroney's gutsy swim faltered at it's first hurdle, the door frame separating the Garden Bar and the beer garden at the popular Sydney watering hole.

Obviously inebriated and emotional, her blond locks matted across sweaty, tear-strewn cheeks, Maroney was physically put in a cab by concerned girlfriends, the conqueror of Cuba-USA crying "Where's Steeeve? The asshole.  I love him! Asshole!"

'Steve' was unavailabe for comment as he was on the piss with 'Jonno'.

An inquiry has been mooted.

She'll be back...the indomitable Suzie Maroney, who's  next swim is the tough Australia--Norway.

Eeee! Eeee! Further proof positive of dolphin intelligence--Flipper gets a semi. Nothing to do with Maroney but she's definitely a bit of cute, our Anna.
