Nah, we win because we cheat!

The target audience of the BBC is... well, it's Britain. Obviously Phelps and Bolt get a lot of coverage, but otherwise they're naturally going to favour events with British competitors and commentate them for a British audience.

Don't trouble the joy of the Brits. Since they are winning everything; sometimes greatly, sometimes strangely, sometimes unfairly, they think they are allowed to behave like obnoxious little pricks. And after being abrasive they will report you. This isn't a Olympic Thread anymore, it's a "GB is winning and the rest of the world can go fist themselves" thread.
But the worst in this pathetic showing, is that some of GB athletes are completely forgotten despite being way more respectable than those highlighted today. Like the Men's Handball Team who is a bunch a semi-pros playing at their best against everyone. A sight to behold but some people prefer shinies over personal accomplishment.

The overwhelming focus on the Team GB cyclists is this Olympics. This is their target and their training and season is all geared up to peak here over all other competitions. Cycling is not a high profile sport in the UK, and only really gets media attention during the Olympics. The cyclists know they have to perform here in London because the vast majority of Brits neither know or care about track cycling otherwise. Team GB dominated the cycling last Olympics too and I expect them to probably do the same next time, although some big names will have retired.

I'm enjoying these Olympics despite some dubious events (in Badminton, the judoka etc etc). I have no interest in blaming athletes but I am pointing out the poor behavior of all Brits in this thread these last 3 or 4 days.

Isn't sport about having a little luck if you wanna win the big titles?  They can only blame themselves.. So many opportunities and a missed penalty kick.

It is massively annoying. It's a struggle to find out who even wins other events if a British person isn't on it through BBC. At the last olympics there was a day-recap video that covered every event that happened that day and the results. This time around, that only exists for those involving British athletes.
Frankly, it's absolutely ridiculous. I understand that it's the home games but it's a world competition, just because we suck at badminton doesn't mean it shouldn't be news worthy.

There is a show on about 10 past 12 each day called sports day. Has a 5-10 minute segmant recapping everything non british going on in the olympics. That and this thread is the only way i find out about events which dont have brits in.
Pretty dissapointing tbh.

well everybody prepare and want to win the olympics, not only the GB team. World championship in Australia was just a couple month ago, so I don't think the GB could have improved that much in such a short time scale. Anyway mechanics are part of the sport so there i no problem with that.
