This is a topic page dedicated 2 the olympics so will probably not las tht long lol.

Feel free 2 express ur favourite sports, most boring and utterly pointless. And also, we can discuss Great Britains chances (if there are any).

BTW, im just w8ing 4 the track events here which are blatantly the best.

We stand a good chance in the cycling velodrom events, and sailing ^^

Everything else we fail at

We won the womens cycling and we're looking good in the boxing so the future looks bright for british olympics... i think.

That Diving kid didnt do well in the SynchonizeWe diving with his team mate (obv) tom something.... XD hopefully he will do better in individual diving.
We won gold and bronze in womens swimming event! Adlington literlally came out of nowhere! was awesome XD we got silver in canoe slalom, florence did a good run but couldnt keep it at least he did better than his qualifying which wasnt his best seeing as he hit the gate XD
i think we did ok in eventing. In teams we got a bronze and then someone else picked herself up a bronze. I think it was Zara's replacement.
Yup we did win the Womens cycling was a goood victory
We also need to keep a look out on the badminton in doubles as we are in the final for that and in athens we were robbed! so time to get revenge and its gail's last olympics so her and robertson have to do it!!
Gymnastics was a disaster i think XD beth tweddle the clumsy troll mucked up her bar swinging mcwhatsit, and on the floor like at least 2 of ours stepped out of the marking area.
at im looking forward to the badminton final, adlingtons next event and toms individual diving.
ALSO cannot forget MICHAL PHELPS is gorgeous..... as well as THE most sucessful olympic athelete atm. winning a total of 5 gold medals and is aiming for 11 i think. The record is 6 golds at the games so he has 2 more to get the record. He has also beaten several world records whilst getting these gold medals so congrats to him looking forward to his next event. Only downside is our male competitive swimmers are effectively screwed against him XD

I believe they sent the young diver so he gets some Olympic experience before 2012.

i just want to say ty to the chinese athletes for the time and effort they put into training so they can get gold medals, well done to all the athletes aswell except for that woman who took drugs

The reason we are so bad at everything is because there is no super structure for it...

Look at the US... EVERY single one of them has probably had a paid tuition from the governemtn because they are gifted at a particular sport. Overhere, there isnt that facility, no one gets proper grants and we dont have anywhere amazing to train really really good atheletes. Thats why US and China do so well, they have that backbone of infrastructure that can get people into sports from a young age.

thats how u win medals lol

Waaay!! 9 medels 4 team GB 2day. 4 Golds and 2 in cycling shows we're finally on a roll.

Adlington won her 2nd gold meaning she is most like going to be Dame Rebecca Adlington when she gets back. We won rowing which was spectacular!!! my heart was beating so fast XD
and cycling on the velodrome which was won easily XD

OMG What a 100m final! A WR of 9.69 seconds! ^^ AND Bolt wasn't even trying at the end!

Just a quick random edit:

anyone notice the mistakes with this medal table?

http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml

We garunteed a gold and silver tomorrow - one of the cycling finals (Women's pursuit, I think) is GB only, lol.

We're garunteed silvers in 2 sailing events, with golds likely. One requires our sailor to come within 4 places of another sailor (no-one else matters) to win gold, so he just copies the other guy to stop him getting ahead. The other is a bit tighter, but should be easier.

More cycling and rowing stuff likely too.

We're absolutely awesome at cycling and sailing (and rowing which is now finished).
What is up with michael phelps? He aint human.

Heh, we're now 3rd in the medals. Good show, I think, though we will drop when our good events stop.

He cheats. Hes good at an event that he can win like a gazillion medals in, thats why hes "the best ever"

lol he does not cheat. your just jealous cus u want his body
hehe i wouldnt mind "having" his body

I'm happy with my own thank you very much.

woot 30 gold medals for china.
i think usa is in the lead with 24 bronze medals

What are u American or sumthing?

i wish i was XD its around this time of year i wish i was good at sports id love to be in the olympics but i just not good enough at anything

lol, most of the sports i do arent even in the olympics!!

17 Golds now ^^

Another Sailing one this morning!

We are very good at (as the Aussies put it) sports where we are sitting down

what sports do you do then?

He does cricket xD

Silver in the Triple Jump... And no medals for any of our other athletes today.

The Relay heats were hilrious tho... America dropped the baton on both temas (me and women), the brit men went out the box, batons were being dropped left right and centre....

I do cricket, squash and taekwondo (different style 2 the olympics)
