Olympic Medal Table watch
- Thread starter bazalini

How about a Race to Space Olympic event
Wouldn't the Russians have won that already then?
Its all a conspiracy
the yanks will paint their spaceship pink
Stick to your canoes
Whatever you have to tell yourself
Power walking 
10 km walk .. what a waste of space, half of them look like they're jogging.
Most boring sport ever - and they look fecking stupid.
feck are you serious?
Did I really miss Olympic Power Walking?

I don't know how long left but they're still running ... erm, I mean walking.
Another Gold for Britain in cycling. Top two finish.
Don't be deliberately obtuse.
Or is it because we Brits are fecking rubbish at swimming?
what a great result for that man Chris Hoy, 2x gold, lives in Salford - probably United fan
What's this event now? Is it the final event of the women's heptathlon?
We're rubbish at Athletics
We got three golds in it last time
Two Kelly Holmes and our 4x100 relay team (or was it the 4x400?).Won't get any this time though.
Was anyone actually watching that walking shite this morning? It looks absolutely ridiculous.
How do I keep missing this!?!?

Won't get any this time though.
Yeah I know we got three golds last time but like you say unlikely to get any this time. Although Phillips Idowu is a our best shot.
Gold number eight for GREAT Britain:
Gold number eight is delightfully dished up by a jubilant Yngling team, with Ayton and Webb adding another shiny piece of precious medal to add to their endeavors from Athens four years ago, alongside 21-year-old Pippa Wilson. Their exploits also sees Great Britain surge into fifth in the medals table.

Ben Ainslie will win number ten in the next few mintes!!!
And we're guaranteed number 11 in the women's individual pursuit in about an hour!!!

and pretty much guarenteed about 3 more in track cycling
This is incredible stuff from team GB, I'm sat beaming at the screen, wheres my union jack?
Ben Ainsley GOLD, thats us third in the medals table
Ben Ainsley GOLD, thats us third in the medals table
Its not actually guaranteed yet but I agree its very likely.
There's also Idowu and we have a chance of getting another in the rowing. Price has a chance of getting one in the boxing too.
18 gold medals could see us finish third in the medal table.
Cock-out time?
yea i got confused, thought we had 2 blokes in the final of something.
Louis Smith has won our first men's gymnastic medal for 100 years with a bronze in the pommel horse.

That is an awesome sight. Only the British and Chinese are doing better than expected.
it should be noted that we have 200 and something people at the game and USA has about 600
Brilliant weekend for team GB.
Right then how many golds are we going to need to hang onto third place in the medals table?
The Russians took third place in 2004 with 27 gold medals. The Russians haven't had a great olympics so far but a lot of their best events (Athletics, Wrestling and Boxing) take place in the second week. I think 19 or 20 golds would be enough to claim third place, so we need another eight or nine golds.
These for me are our best chances of gold in the last week of the games (in order of most likely):
Track cycling - Men's team pursuit - Wiggins and co
Track cycling - Men's sprint - Chris Hoy
Track cycling - Women's sprint - Victoria Pendleton
Track cycling - Men's Madison - Wiggins and Cavendish
Women's BMX - Shanaze Reade
Sailing - Paul Goodison
Canoeing - Tim Brabants
Men's triple jump - Phillips Idowu
Boxing super heavyweight - David Price
Ouside Chances
Sailing - Nick Dempsey
Track cycling - Women's points race - Rebecca Romero
Any more?
