Well we're a diddy country its impressive enough getting to all these finals against countries with many times our population O.O.


like australia/france ?

France have a bigger population and many more pools, to the aussies I tip my hat.


We sucked for a loooooooong time at swimming; hell until the last decade :D
And we don't have that much of a bigger population; just saying that it's not really the deciding factor compare to culture/momentum.

We will still win on the medal count, usually fourth is pretty good for GB. They were hoping to beat Russia this time but based on the first few days it looks unlikely. Cav, Adlington, Armistead, Daley/Waterfield could all have golds already ability wise.

We still got a bunch of rowing and cycling to come up. I doubt we will golds in much or anything else though this time round =/.


Mo Farah?

Yeah but we got 19 in Beijing and they want to improve.

15? Doper. (am I doing it right?)

Are you serious. From almost top 50 to winning gold is not suprising to you? It was suprising for herself during the qualifiying stages.

Just saw the korean girl loose the bronze-fight in fencing... She made it surprisingly close against a chinese, but in the end she choked hard and lost 4 points in a row.

Can't help but blame the malarky that went on in the semi final on that. She could not have had a good head going into the bout.

She did remarkably well for someone with a broken spirit and mind... I'm proud of her, and I'm sure the entire country is feeling the same.

2 weightlifting-events has been held so far for men and two north koreans have won and while doing so made olympic/world records. The world will inevitably end up loving the great leader and ask North Korea for information about how to do it! I hear that anabolic steroids are your friend. As long as you do not have to compete while taking it. It must be quite an advantage having a national anti-doping agenture, who teaches you how to dupe doping controls instead of working against your winning-chances!

Well the same cannot be said from our point of view. This disrespectful attitude of her was pathetic to me. She isn't the only one who got disappointed by judges. To think you are alone in the world is very despicable.

Yea, Korea is enfuriated by the decision but it is too late. Korea already burned and robbed 3 times by terrible calls. It is nice to see most people supporting Shin and saying 'You are the gold medalist in our heart' and stuff, but some immature people obviously trying to terrorize Heidermann's facebook... that is embarassing and they shouldn't do that, it wasn't her fault, although she didn't handle it mannerly.

To Otolia: refs made a wrong call. It was blatantly a wrong call. They even admitted they made a mistake. Athletes practice 4 full years for these events and to be robbed like this and feel helpless is just terrible. She COULDN'T leave the arena because by fencing rule, that would mean she accepts referee's decision.

Why not. They can compete and if they get busted then they get punished.
