Mens cross country race was so good, insanely close finish for an hour and a half of absurd endurance and skill.

I thought the italian had it, but on the last lap he hit a wall of acid on a climb and did not recover. He ended up third though!

Best fans ? Uhm ... I'll wait for Rio for that. South Americans countries have traditionally more psyched public than the Europeans countries, may some likes to think as better than the rest of Europa. Best organisation since Sidney (first Olympics I remember clearly) most definitely.

Well any sort of public event, the people come out to support from up and down the country, the amount of people that came out on the streets to support the athletes in the cycling/marathon/walks were insane and even the lesser known sports the support was insane.

Why would you say they are different? From what I've read they are remarkably alike.

I actually quite like old boris, ok he might on raised prices on buses from 20p to 2.35 in 7 years but other than that he's done pretty good for London.

Anyone know where I can find a breakdown of the medals from 2008? I'm just curious as to what events China got 51 golds in compared to London's haul.

Thing is even if South Americans are more enthusiastic than Europeans, Europe has the infrastructure to at least fill most matches decently whereas in Brazil some just might not turn up for events that are not interesting.
