Fed a bit slow into his semi final. 1-1 in sets into the 3rd and final set. There is a thread for T&F btw, easier to follow if everyone posts in one place: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=354277 | ||

Always nice to beat the Aussies :3...with a WR is like the icing on the cake @Lmaster, yeah i seen the thread, but this thread has a few people in which are all watching different events and tell eachother different results so it is easier to stay in this one and keep track of everthing xD Plus anyway T&F is more than just Heptahtalon xD | ||

As for team GB, we are pretty happy so far but have lost quite a few gold chances too. Could be better but cant complain. | ||

Obviously. But until a weighted system is instituted, I side with total medal count. (A weighted system based on population size would be best, in which case Cuba dominates everyone). | ||

Media expectation is very different to public and committee expectation in the UK. In the article itself it says: "That figure almost doubles funding body UK Sport's London 2012 minimum target of 48 medals." | ||
