Roper1982 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Some more Gold medals for Team GB today which hs been good, Sir Chris Hoy winning his 5th Olympic Gold Medal, I dont think (Sir-to-be) Brad Wiggins greatest british olympian record will survive these games... Shame about the Team GB Female Team Sprint tea being disqualified at the take over, and it seems a silly rule as how can they be expected to see a tiny mark of tape on the floor going that speed off the corner, and then the China team who won the Gold Medal then go and get dsqualfied and relegated to Silver because of the same error.... This is the same error that cost 4 teams at the World championships and they seriously need to look at putting a more visible mark at where they can start the take over.... This cost Team Gb a guaranteed Silver and possible Gold and definatly cost China a Gold medal. The whole badminton fiasco caused alot of news etc.. I can kind of see it from both sides, the fact that they have done the draw using grups etc meant that teams from the same country did want to avoid each other and perhaps not finish first in the group but second to allow them an easier run to the final... But then I can see the committee's point of iew, where they did turn it int a fiasco by deliveratly serving into the net etc to lose, is against the olympic spirit in that they wernt trying their hardest to win. ITs a case of Tactics or 'Good viewing' i guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 LOL at Canada...! We've only got 2 silver, and 5 bronze. Which puts us in 27th place overall. 1. China (Of course!) 2. U.S (Of course) 3. Korea 4. U.K We are supposed to be the world champs at rowing, but did we win any gold at rowing? NO! (Though, we did win 2 silver...)

Rosemary Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 So far SA have 3 gold, no silver and no bronze At the moment with only three medals (all are gold) we are 11th overall - got no idea how that works Not sure how up-to-date this is: http://www.london2012.com/medals/medal-count/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 We all like it when we get medals but just to be part of the Olympics at all is a massive achievement in its self so all of them should be praised by us mortals IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I agree [MENTION=7]Dunc[/MENTION], all the athletes have my utmost respect and admiration. At the moment I am rather fascinated with archery. One of the contestants said he has shot 600 arrows every day for four years in preparation - that is dedication people like me cannot even begin to understand. But I am so thankful he had the dedication, because it is amazing to watch him do what he does so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver and bronze are only used when gold is equal between countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
