pfft, what's this doing on the second page?

After super saturday today we could well be ahead of the Aussies on the medal table (albeit with about half their tally - Golds are the ones that count)

Those to look out for today after Adlington....Ainslie (Sailing, already guaranteed silver should take gold), Yngling (Sailing - already got bronze, need to finish ahead of the dutch to get gold), Wiggins (cycling IP), Hoy (cycling - keirin) a couple of the rowing crews have decent chances as well and Sotherton should get a medal in the heptathlon.

You could, and with 60-odd million people you'd hope it happens/happened.

I'd say it most definitely will by the next games (if not this one) now you guys are pumping more money into sports, and less into fish and chip shops.

Not in this table

lolz

Wonder whether we shared the bronze with Bohemia?

Ainslie wins in style for our tenth Gold. Onya Aino

My first proper days of watching the Olympics have turned out okay!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Another silver guaranteed in the men's team pursuit. Smashed the world record in the qualifying so looking good for the gold too.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I would be dissappointed with anything less TBH.

Louis Smith III wins GBs first ever gymnastic medal with a bronze on the Pommell Horse (y)

No one gives a **** about guynastics, though.

I was glad Richie Rich's sister missed the gold on the floor.

 

[grecian]

It's been good, hasn't it? Can't say I was expecting it. GIMH, no doubt getting out his bunting for the inevitable ticker-tape parade.

Have to say though, and I never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm a big fan of the Germans at the Olympics. Well the ones featured in a certain magazine, anyway

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, look, when's the open top bus tour?

 

[Smudge]

Yeah, look, when's the open top bus tour?

Don't forget the MBEs for every single member of the Olympic team...

 

[GIMH]

**** that, knighthoods are the way forwards

 

[pasag]

Whey-hey! Fair play to the lightweight double sculls. Think that takes us ahead of the crims.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Still eleventy-odd track races to go iirc

 

[Johnners]

Expecting GB to finish ahead of us tonight unless Denmark can pull of something special here.

EDIT: Hahaha, no chance, GB smash the WR.

 

[superkingdave]

think we're pretty much guaranteed another sailing gold as well, and Brabant looked good in the canoeing

Indeed. Paul Goodison in the Laser class. Only needs to avoid a last place or something stupid like that. Not bad for a Frenchman.

 

[Sanz]

UK has done really well in this Olympic. 12 Golds already is an amazing result for them.

 

[GIMH]

Indeed. How many did we get in 04?
