You should look at the previous olympics to see our form, the training is all set up for this. We lost one gold in the velodrome this time (through DQ) so far, but I think we only lost two events in Beijing. We are as strong here as the Americans are in the pool. | ||

It also seems that pistols are the new bows: Korea is smashing it with number 1 and 2. The far away leader from the qualification ended up choking and the number 4 from the qualification ends up taking first. The chinese ends up amazingly with last shot almost dead center and takes back third after the 'nam shooter chokes. This pistoling thing seems mighty volatile: Very nice! | ||

Not really, USA wins half the medals, here GB wins 80% and they don't dominate the sport the rest of the time whereas the USA does. Same with China in Badminton, they win all the medals but they have the best athletes between the Olympics. You make it sound like Australia, Germany and France don't prepare for the Olympics ... Sure GB have the best structures but the domination is still very annoying. | ||

A bunch of British people are very good at riding around in a circle. | ||

As Mo Farah showed yesterday, in a close match, the home advantage is pretty huge. | ||
