1 more goal for Christine Ohorogu.
Sort of. I have lived there for some time but I am A Brit/Mancunian at heart.
What the feck does he know?
Delighted for Christine Ohuruogu.
Fecking hell you pretexted me before i could get a dig in.Anyone else find the Olympics a refreshing contrast to the bullshit that surrounds football?
I dont think Ive posted outside the olympics threads to be honest, could be wrong. I find the cafe stuff yawnsville at the moment. If its not the perpetual shite re Ronaldo, its the equally tiresome Berba bollox.
Failing that its the ohhhhhhhhhh noeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees our season has finished already crap for dropping points at OT.
Yep, i love football but its caught up in this bubble of insane media pressure and bullshit.
Ive really enjoyed the olympics, although GB kicking ass may be a big part of this.
Medals - Tuesday 19 August Updated
Boxers aquiting themselves well, still fancy Price for gold but Jeffries has a decent chance.
GB kickin ass is the reason and its good. Just imagine if our national footie team won something for once. well done Team GB, keep them comin!

I would never dreamed we would do so well on Tuesday.
Great Britain having a mare in the athletics.... Don't see much talk about that here.
Anyone want to explain why they are so crap.

Oh For fecks sack Bob..... What planet are you on
Because in athletics you need raw talent and not just fast bikes and boats in events half the world are crap in, so we're useless. But don't spoil our fun.
They are 7th in the athletics standings. These things come in cycles......like the pun.

Its good to exceed expectations, much better than not reaching them that is for sure. Only two major teams ahead of pre-game expectations are the UK and China, everyone else is failing.
on some forums ive been to the yanks are refusing to see themselves near GBR or behind China so they are putting there table down in Medal Total order
That is how the US media report it. They don't use the OFFICIAL medal table, and right now total medals makes them look better.
They targeted 1 Gold... and we already have that.

The only way that would happen if Michael Phelps tests positive for drugs.
Tbf they do have more medals, and far more golds than Britain
Obviously, Britain shouldn't really be anywhere near China and America. The fact that we're third is astounding, a bit like West Ham being in a Champions League spot.
That's the thing you aren't
True and that's why we shouldn't even be mentioned as competing with those countries but we are closer to the US than France are to us which isn't too bad!
Touche
fair play to the Brits for doing welll this time out. a big improvement on 1996 where ye had 1 gold.
over the last few Olympics the French have beaten you in the Gold medal count but your performance now should bode well for ye in 2012.
maybe.

What are Team GBs chances for the final few days?
Anything to look out for?

There is David Price, Tony Jeffries have good chances in the boxing. Then there is phillips idowu in the triple jump and there is more sailing events to go but I think thats it.
Phillips Idowu. Big favorite in the triple jump.
Eh?
There are still more than half of the Athletics medals up for grabs, so I reckon it would be wise to wait until its finished to draw any conclusions.
A gold and a silver today sets us on our way.
Your boy did well in the 200m btw, couldn't even beat Malcom
I could care less about the rest of the American athletes other than the Mens Basketball team, I hope they continue to skull feck the rest of the competition on the way to gold. Dream Team baby
