If Great Britain can get anywhere near that medal haul this time I will be amazed.

It was an incredible performance given the size of this tiny island's population. Australia as ever doing amazingly well also, as ever.

TV coverage will be excellent over here too:

The BBC have got 24 HD channels going concurrently and we have 3D coverage too. The best coverage of any games ever.

24 different channels showing the Olympics?! Typo?

no

That's insane. Could they theoretically be having a broadcast at the same time? (obviously there's not going to be enough events, or will there?)

You know, I think the UK is a very big country after all, kow. I think in Sweden there will be around 10 channels in total who will broadcast the Olympics but that's with non-HD channels and commercial channels included.
