Champions at sitting down???


/figures....

Trott was immense.

[Blade]

4 Gold from 4 entrys is mighty impressive.

[Blade]

2 false starts. This is stressful to watch god knows what it's like for the riders.

[Blade]

Worth the wait and Jason kenny was ace cool and then sling shot like a missle.

6 Golds and equals Sir Chris Hoys record. 10 Golds between him and his wife to be. What are their offspring going to be like ?????

[Blade]

2nd in the table with 19 Golds

[Kwacky]

That's the Kiwis out of the way in the hockey.

[D6]

That was a good game last night. I watched that. Nice ball to the face too.

[Kwacky]

Yet more medals today. We're ace

[D41]

Thank God our team don't have far to travel home.

All our medals are going to be SOOOO heavy to carry. All that gold.

[C00kiemonster]

Unless you've been robbed of course.... Oh you haven't.......

[Kwacky]

We've won more medals in more sports than the US. Take out swimming and the US looks very weak.

[Kwacky]

Good to see Jones retain her title in the Taekwondo.

[Blade]

Still second in the medal table

[D6]

The Americans all dope too.

We've won more medals in more sports than the US. Take out swimming and the US looks very weak.

Whaaaat???


So your logic is,,,take away some of our medals, and we don't look very good???


??????



But in all seriousness....I honestly don't like the nationalistic angle of the whole thing. I understand it, I just don't care for it too much. So many of the athletes don't even train/live in the country they represent. They can always get citizenship elsewhere just to get on a team, etc.

I think it was Olga Korbett who had Dual Citizenship and trained for years in the US, but then always represented her home country??



I'm going to represent the USA at the next Olympics.

I'm a blackbelt.

At origami.

Nicola Adams Gold

[Kwacky]

What a result that is. Well done Nicky.

[Blade]

I wouldn't argue with her
