Britain are really strong in Cycling these days. Deal with it.

Interesting seeing UK in the 3rd place in medals table so far. I will be surprised if they remain there. Russia usually finish in 3rd.


Aicar pretty good for road yo, Voeckler could tell us a bit about that well the whole europcar and sky team ^^
congratz on the track tho but that was obvious and you don't need unsportmanship manners to get gold which is sad.

Good from the crowd. Pretty sure any British athlete will get a good reaction if they're here.

He got cheers from the crowd. I am not happy though. He can go f@ck himself! He should be banned for life. He only stopped taking drugs because he got caught. He has done massive damage to Athletics and should be shunned by the other Athletes.

Don't see who can threaten the brit for 3rd, does Korea still have some good golds opportunities?


I'm a bit surprised the Russians aren't right up the top...

They have 23 medals (4th in that regard) but only 3 golds. I guess they are just a bit unlucky.


Our athletes tend to choke a lot.
Maaaany upsets, like that shooting guy who set the NEW WR in qualification round and lost in final round.

At least these are silver medals today, last years we were all bronze. So its kind of improvement.

Join the club :D We'll see who can win the most silver medals by the end of the competition.


I feel you well i still have hope in some of "our" sports

Pretty funny to see Brits defend their athletes without any questions at all. Britain has amazing cyclists, that much is clear. But something questionable happened, and your precious athletes are not exempt from criticism. Deal with it.

I don't even have any stake in this. I don't see why I would be bitter towards Britain.

There is obviously a suspicion of doping, because of people like Chambers, Marion Jones, Ben Johnson etc. However you have to have the presumption of innocence unless found guilty otherwise you simply cannot celebrate the Sport at all.

Chambers is a certain cheat and should be condemned, not celebrated. He will always be remembered as a cheat.

in the 100meters final it'd be ppl who have been previously suspended. probably 2 or 3.
in swimming federations don't suspend doped athletes or give ridiculous suspensions (Cielo/Bousquets)

Using the rule that entitles you to a restart in qualifying is standard in the velodrome, it wasnt just Britain who had restarts. Maybe you should take a look at the quote of the head of french cycling.
