Im proud of GB actually, in 3rd position

Counting medals like it's a **** measuring contest is stupid.

Tell that to Michael Phelps

About as long as it takes Usain to bolt over the finish line.

I meant, from country to country.

If I was ever racing someone with the name of Bolt, I would forfeit. And from the looks of it in this case, everyone else should too.

Or just a bit of fun

I'm enjoying us being ahead, although I think we'll be lucky to end up with 13-14 golds in total which give the Aussies a good shot at coming back this week

Yea its just a bit of fun, nothing serious.

Cant believe Bolt, 9.68 secs man! And he started celebrating with about 10m to go. He's almost superhuman.

To be honest, I'm suprised you guys even made double figures...Australia, back in front as of this post. Equal in gold, but we have more total...

*edit*

Ironically, two of our golds from today came from one of the sports i singled out in my "useless Olympic sports" thread...

Thats only because your uneducated of the talent we do have.

Oh mein Gott!!! Jan Frodeno from Germany won the triathlon ... Unger came in 6th. Canada got a silver with Whitfield ...

I'm so stoked! I had tears streaming down my face when I saw Frodeno break away from the pack at the last few seconds ... those long legs came in handy!

I'm so happy!!!! I really wanted Germany to win this and thought Unger had the best chance, but I was wrong. Regardless, we'll take the gold!

Our Long Jumper Jade Jones is jumping at the moment but she's allergic to sand! How wierd is that?
I wonder how she came to the decision as a kid to start training in an event she was allergic to?

 

[Big_Idiot]

[Big_Idiot]

[Big_Idiot]

[Streamline]

Yeah, what the hell. The UK has never won this many gold in the history of anything, ever...You pretty much got Aus beaten now. I swear you won like 2 golds in Athens.
