Aussie Rugby Sevens Team Campaign For Gold
The former athlete took aim at ABC journalist Tracey Holmes, denying claims in an article by her that suggested Channel Seven was aware of the plan to snub athletes, despite the network claiming it was shocked by the decision.
Beattie said the decision was made to limit the time athletes, many of whom were tired from competition, had to wait outside the stadium.
The move left Seven commentators Basil Zempilas and Johanna Griggs defending the station from accusations that it was to blame.
Griggs said she had never seen a stadium so empty halfway through a ceremony.
Zempilas began, saying they "did get it wrong tonight". "I can't be more honest about it than that", Mr Beattie said.
"Wake up, we're all in this together", she said, asked about the importance of having an equal number of medals.
"We can only show the pictures that are provided by the actual host broadcasters", Griggs said.
"We are naturally disappointed that the good intentions of the creative did not necessarily work for some of the athletes involved and the broadcast audience". "But instead we thought we were going to broadcast an innovative and exciting show".
GOLDOC made the decision that the athletes would enter the arena during the pre-show, which is not broadcast. "They made the decision not to show the flagbearers".
How seven teams can even their National Basketball Association playoff series. (Sorry, Spurs.)
Toronto will be the favorites in this series indefinitely, and, 888 Sport has them up at 1.33, while the Wizards are at 3.45. As 16 teams fight to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy, I will break down who will survive - until the second round, at least.

UEFA condemns Michael Oliver abuse
Buffon was sent off for dissent by English referee Michael Oliver after he awarded Real Madrid a stoppage-time penalty which sent the Spaniards into the semi-finals.
"We were looking forward to being part of the Closing Ceremony and being recognized for what we had done in the games".
"They're actually wrecking a tradition that is so important and part of the Commonwealth Games", Griggs said, live on air. Many athletes were seen leaving the stadium while the closing speeches were still in progress.
She added: "When you start to see the athletes that have come here and the standard that they are, we can compete with anyone anywhere".
This is a clear distinction from the past competitions where settlement for entitlements was mostly an issue as they were either delayed or below the agreed figure, which may sometimes lead to protests from the aggravated athletes. "We got that wrong", he tweeted on Monday. "Way too long. Dare I say a little self indulgent".
The decision by organisers to leave the athletes' entry to Carrara Stadium out of the broadcast meant viewers missed seeing wheelchair racing gold medallist Kurt Fearnley carrying the Australian flag.
But everyone agreed the competition itself was fantastic.
On the medals table, Nigeria is ranked 9th after Aruna claimed his silver medal, cumulatively giving the country 24 medals throughout the Games.
Fearnley summed up the mood of the athletes.
