I'll take that bet too, I reckon GB will get at least 5 golds over the weekend and Monday as the sailing, rowing and cycling finals come up

That's good, but it's gonna take a lot more than that. Believe it or not, Australia is good at other sports outside of swimming and usually tallies up 10 - 15 golds. You guys are havn a laugh if you think GB will even come close to that.

Well were on 5 now, and Aus only on 7 so its close. We just beat you in the mens 4 rowing.

yah and we got gold in the two races before that.

Big_Idiot · Aug 16, 2008

The fact is though your only 2 golds ahead

Big_Idiot · Aug 16, 2008

That would be one ahead

Streamline · Aug 16, 2008

And you're one behind. 6 golds - that must be a record for you guys

Big_Idiot · Aug 16, 2008

That's right. And Canada will be lucky to get 5 medals in total

Our athletes are grossly underfunded and get virtually zero support. It's really bad

Congrats on Michael Phelps amazing accomplishments :beerchug:

I still can't believe the US swim team. Absolutely fabulous! I think this has been the most amazing and exciting part of the Olympics so far!!!!!

And congrats to the Aussies, Kiwis, Germans and Brits, too

Big_Idiot · Aug 17, 2008

And now whats the results stream

I think we seem to be 2 ahead of you.

Big_Idiot · Aug 17, 2008

Dont mean to rub it in but its now 11 - 8

Streamline · Aug 17, 2008

That Hackett silver was heartbreaking

Phate89 · Aug 17, 2008

Do other countries go by Gold medal or Total medal. I see every other country say China is first, because they have the most gold. But American news says USA is first since we always go by total medal count

It is by gold count. But i suppose you can put it in your own perspective really.
