well doen the ladies footy,good fun i watched most of it,funny how the japan coach said something about a draw as if you want to get to a final you probably need to avoid the USA ladies but the badminton people can't do the same thing,not that i really know what they all did

god do rowing fianls ever actually start this is the olympics too many heats we already know who the best teams are

i agree actually they should have a points system for tables and have some sort of ranking if one person can win like 8 medals in the top of world sport then obviously its a bit weighted in events isn't it, like swimming for example,not that i'm complaining about right now just in history/future

is it a rowing final kick off right now

I understand what you mean but it would be difficult. I mean if you are a boxer you can only fight at one weight in one event and therefore only go for one medal whereas as a swimmer you can compete in more than half a dozen if you so choose.

Well done GB. Gold.

thats right but then i think they need to separate the events out a bit then if you ask me or nto have so many just a sprint freestyle and a disatnce freestyle,thast would shake races up a bit

for example our 50m backstroke guy is world champ/record holder i think but it is not  an olypmic event either have it for everyone or very few,just my opinion though as i only ever watch swimming at the majors so i don't really know

but if you want a true reflection of medal tables also population size and country wealth should come into it for points awarded to your medals or something,i am a nerd of course and like stats but it would be alot more interesting for big game events i think in future,however they worked it out,like a duckworth lewis in cricket or something
