Not looking good so far.

Well with likes of Tom Daley and cavendish missing out on medals, the accumulation of medals isn't very forthcoming so far is it!

Not good, though Dale Winton was very pleased when he heard that Rebecca Adlington got bronze.

China have been incredible in this Olymipics. They've really dominated. Hoping for a good result in Hockey men's and women's. We're doing well there. Ranked third in the world too

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

We were never going to do all that well. As host nation people seemed to forget that we aren't the strongest and can't compete with countries like the US and China.

China are rightfully staking a claim to be the best at most things as you would expect with the population of the place. That Kid (female) that keeps swimming faster than the blokes is a bit suspicious though ehh.

 

[Otis]

Think the expectation turns into pressure.

We do need to win gold from somewhere soon though, otherwise it could all go a little flat.

Especially as she has three breasts and 7 toes.

Think those Frenchies are trying to get one over on us ,the team talk a little like this,Renee voice ,"Let us shew zose Ros Beef For stealing ze games off us in Singapore ,Merd".

i think she is a mermaid!

 

[Covstu]

there has been alot of tactical play against the brits particuarly in the cycling given our reputation and probably expect more in the velodrome. Great that most of the cycling world fear us as a nation but hopefully we can pick up some medals!!

 

[Otis]

Should have held the Olympics in Liverpool, then we'd have a few more medals.

 

[Darth Robins]

I think getting 2 golds and a silver in 5 minutes can put a stop to the complaining about a lack of medals, up to 5th in the medals table now, with a chance for more golds today, incredible stuff!

Also guaranteed silver in the women's judo

The Cycling starts now too, we totally own the cycling, at Beijing we won gold in 7/10 events. And as if to prove my point, this just popped up on the BBC:

WORLD RECORD - Great Britain (Women's team sprint cycling)
Victoria Pendleton and Jessica Varnish set a new World Record in their heat of the women's team sprint, a time of 32.526 seconds.

 

[Covstu]

Then got disqualified! Mens race was awesome, totally amazing race!

 

[Coventry La La La]

Another Gold medal for team GB. :claping hands::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

 

[Darth Robins]

Cracking stuff, if we carry on like this it's going to be a bigger medal haul than Beijing! One more gold should push us up into third, not bad if you consider the population gap between us, the US and China!


And there's another gold!

[Marty]

Bloody hell, this cycling lark is a piece of piss. Won the final by a mile and set another world record.

 

[Darth Robins]

Gold for Ennis then, and possibly 2 more tonight too!

 

[Marty]

Jess Ennis just won Gold,

 

[Darth Robins]

Well would you look at that, another one from Greg Rutherford in the long jump!

[Marty]

And another gold, Mo Farah 10000 meters??

 

[Darth Robins]

So barring any disasters, we're on for topping the 19 golds from Beijing tomorrow, with 5 days left to go!

 

[Covstu]

Amazing stuff tonight, well done jess, mo and Greg!

 

[Tad]

Well done to team GB. 6 gold, 1 silver; all in 1 day. Great stuff!

 

[CCFCSteve]

Very proud to be British. What a day !!!!

 

[sw88]

Football fail but congrats to all the others who have won medals

 

[Darth Robins]

And the gold (and Olympic history!) just keep rolling in, I'm still in shock at just how bloody well we're doing. Well worth the £13bn to host it!
