Yet another day to be extremly proud of being British.

The first 4 days look a distant memory now don't they? :P

Well, out of 10 events, we were dsq in one (stupidly, but we were in the final otherwise), 7 golds, a silver and a bronze.

They tried, but it didn't work.


no rule change and we could have had about 28 medals. lol

if they had done the same in swimming, in atheltics and in gymnastics and the medal table change massively.



Very silly rule imo. If youre good enough to compete, you should be allowed to compete. It would be like stopping Jamaica from having Bolt and Blake in the 100/200m. People would go mental...

Indeed. we would be sat on nearly 60 medals now if they hadn't changed the rules.



Yep. A few more nailed on in the Boxing too (Golds?), along with whatever else we get... Even without all the extra Cycling medals, were looking brilliant.

Just got back from London where I watched the athletic heats. GB didn't do that well, but it was still fun.
