[Iceman]

Hopefully Ireland get one this time round.....and its not from a junkie horse. :suspect:

[Shaun]

will obviously go USA, China top two... would be lovely for Team GB to get third though. Will be tough competiton from Australia, Canada, Brazil... oh wait no Russia will easily beat us :laugh:

[Marc]

Obviously Cambodia will beat us

[Jayson]

Seeing as we're competing in a lot of things due to automatic qualification I think we've got a decent chance of getting 3rd.

[Marc]

China have a gold and bronze and Poland got a silver :)

[Marcus.]

great britain got siver

[Locke.]

Diving;
Gold - China
Silver - USA
Bronze - Canada

[lostalex]

China will probably win the most golds, and USA will probably win the over all medals table.

this is my prediction of top 5 of total medals..

USA
China
Russia
Great Britain
Germany

[Marc]

20th! Woo!

[Marc]

France doing very well!

[Marc]

Updated, the Korea's and France doing well.

Kazakhstan doing well too 3 golds in weight lifting and road race :laugh:

[Maia]

We haven't got a gold yet :sad:

[Locke.]

We haven't got a gold yet :sad:

Put BBC1 on :pipe:

[Munchkins]

First gold for the UK so happy <3

[Marc]

First gold for GB! :worship: Glover and Stanning :love:

[Marc]

I think we'll be up to 14/15th with that Gold :)

[Maia]

We haven't got a gold yet :sad:

But 10 minutes later :amazed:

[Marc]

Mollie keep saying that, we'll win more!

[Maia]

Put BBC1 on :pipe:

Had it on at the time and witnessed that glorious moment, didn't realise we were going for gold to begin with :pipe:

[Maia]

Mollie keep saying that, we'll win more!

:amazed:

[Marc]

Updated :pipe: 14th LovelyJubbly.

[Maia]

We might win a 2nd :amazed:

[Maia]

Aw we were so close

[Marc]

It's alright, a bronze is still a medal! :D

[Maia]

It sure is Marc! :D

[Marc]

Step aside China, what a silly nation.

[Locke.]

For god sake Mollie, if you'd have complained about us only having one gold medal we'd have just won another there

[Marc]

Might ban her..

[Niamh.]

Is boxing Irelands only chance of a medal? Not up on these sports at all :laugh:

[Maia]

Don't be so rude I was just enjoying the moment there you can't blame me

[Munchkins]

We are 14th on the medal table now.. :)

[Marc]

Niamh Ireland came 5th in the equestrian team thingy, was a shock though (apparently) maybe you'll win boxing! I say you merge with GB and just make this nation an unstoppable cycling, rowing and boxing machine.

[Marc]

10th! :worship:

[Black Dagger]

5TH :amazed:

What an afternoon.

I think we go 4th if Gemma wins the Judo?

[Marc]

N'awww but 5th is great!! :amazed:

[Marc]

Updated! :love:

[Shaun]

all the probable cycling golds should push us easily into third :D

[Novo]

Think we'll only win 1 gold in the cycling to many of the other teams have improved lately

[Marc]

How dare you Novo

[lostalex]

India, the 2nd largest country in the world, only has 1 medal and it's a bronze. That just goes to show that population size has nothing to do with winning medals.

[Marc]

China however...

[Marc]

Up to 4th now, I think

[Black Dagger]

I think we need another gold to be 4th?

Which we should get with Rebecca (hopefully) or one of the team pursuit'

Oooh, it's all getting exciting. :amazed:

[Munchkins]

Checked, and we are up to 4th
need one more gold to get 3rd i think :amazed:

[Macie Lightfoot]

India, the 2nd largest country in the world, only has 1 medal and it's a bronze. That just goes to show that population size has nothing to do with winning medals.

Development also plays a factor, obviously.

[Black Dagger]

Checked, and we are up to 4th
need one more gold to get 3rd i think :amazed:

Oh well we'll get another gold today. :amazed:

Maybe even 2.

[Shaun]

GB just leapfrogged Korea into third with Pendleton's gold :D

[Marc]

Oh yehhhhhh oh yehhhh

[Novo]

I think we'll just about beat the 19 gold medals we got in 2008, it's going to be close though

[lostalex]

we need an update please. :)

[Marc]

Will do,

6 Golds for GB today :amazed:

[Munchkins]

Will do,

6 Golds for GB today :amazed:

Absolutely amazing :amazed:

[lostalex]

Will do,

6 Golds for GB today :amazed:

i meant the whole table, not just team, GB, but you guys are racking up the golds, congrats!

[Marc]

Yeah I got what you meant but I was just excited :amazed:

Will do when I'm back on my mac

[lostalex]

Yeah I got what you meant but I was just excited :amazed:

Will do when I'm back on my mac

well hurry up, cause i wanna see USA on top for a while, it might not last long! lol

[Marc]

Can't believe Aus have 20 medals and they only have 1 gold

[lostalex]

Can't believe Aus have 20 medals and they only have 1 gold

and Russia has 28 but only 3 gold. Not a good games for the Aussies or Russians.

[Shaun]

was sure they'd battle it out for 3rd

[lostalex]

New Zealand only has a population of 4 million people and they are kicking some Aussie ass lol, that's gotta sting for the Aussies. New Zealand 3 golds, Aus only 1.

I know if Canada had more Gold medals than the USA i'd be furious. Aus and NZ are basically like USA and Can.

[Novo]

Australia expected to have loads of success in swimming but they have had none at all

[Novo]

Ireland haven't won a medal yet either?

[Marc]

Boxing soon

[lostalex]

Why are you so interested in Ireland? Is Ireland like Britain's canada?

Britain - Ireland
America - Canada
Australia - New Zealand
India - Pakistan
China - Japan
South Korea - North Korea

I love how each country has it's own little rivalry with it's neighbors.

[Munchkins]

USA now ahead of China, such fierce rivalry
China got 100 medals in total last time ;O

[Marcus.]

tennis tomor poor andy murrey

[Macie Lightfoot]

USA now ahead of China, such fierce rivalry

It's a good rivalry but at the same time it's a bit underwhelming. During the Cold War when USSR and USA were both good at the same sports, it was intense as hell. But with China, they excel in the more "offbeat" sports that not everyone knows about. They stack up medals in synchronized diving, badminton, table tennis, weightlifting, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely the smartest thing to do, just makes the rivalry a bit anticlimactic.

[Black Dagger]

tennis tomor poor andy murrey

Why poor Andy Murray?

He's guaranteed GB two more medals, silver being the worst he can get, hopefully Dobson learned to serve over-night.

[Jayson]

Murray gold, Smith silver and Whitlock bronze, all in 5 mins <3

[Marc]

Updated :pipe:

[Marc]

204 Competing Nations and only 64 of them have won a medal

[GypsyGoth]

It's the winning that matters, not the taking part.

[Jayson]

Exactly, Claudia.

[GypsyGoth]

At the end of the games, if those countries still don't have a medal, they should be in the special olympics next time.

[Shaun]

they should rejoin the British empire tbh

[Marc]

It's the winning that matters, not the taking part.

At the end of the games, if those countries still don't have a medal, they should be in the special olympics next time.

:laugh2: ily

[Munchkins]

We are actually doing so so well
in awe at the team :lovedup:

[Niamh.]

At the end of the games, if those countries still don't have a medal, they should be in the special olympics next time.

:laugh2:

Thank God for Katie Taylor then

[Marc]

Niamh if that happened you'd probably win something :pipe:

[Niamh.]

Katie will get us a gold :pipe:

1 gold isn't bad when you consider the population of Ireland is half the size of the population of London

[Marc]

Well I heard that in Atlanta GBR only won 1 Gold medal and Ireland got 3 :pipe:

[Niamh.]

Well I heard that in Atlanta GBR only won 1 Gold medal and Ireland got 3 :pipe:

We might get 2, John Joe Nevin is still in the running, isn't he?

[Black Dagger]

Another 2 medals for GB.

And we can still get up to 5 today.

Dressage
Pendleton
Hoy
Trott
Sailing?

[Novo]

We just won Silver in sailing

[Black Dagger]

We just won Silver in sailing

Amazing stuff...

Lets hope the other 4 I've gone for get Gold, I'll say Trott gets silver though, maybe Dressage as well.

[Novo]

This how we compare to the Beijing total now

London 2012

19 Gold
12 Silver
12 Bronze

Beijing 2008

19 Gold
13 Silver
15 Bronze


Nearly there now :pipe:

4 more medals to equal our all time best in medal total

[Kizzy]

If yorkshire were a country we would be in 10th place with 4 gold medals :)

[Marc]

I heard that fact on the Radio yesterday.

[Novo]

Yeah but i bet most the people who came from Yorkshire don't actually train in yorkshire :pipe:

[Novo]

With four medals in boxing now guaranteed, and a silver for Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell in the 470 class at worst still to come, Great Britain are now certain to win at least 48 Olympic medals.

That will surpass the tally from Beijing 2008 and reach UK Sport's minimum target.

[Black Dagger]

Absolutely fantastic.

I think we could get at least 2 gold in the Boxing, definitely some silver at least.

Didn't know about the 470, that is incredible.

It's all shaped up nicely, I wasn't expecting this.

[Shaun]

:amazed:

[Kizzy]

Yeah but i bet most the people who came from Yorkshire don't actually train in yorkshire :pipe:

really?...The facilities are good enough for the Chinese...

[Black Dagger]

4 GOLD MEDALS TODAY.

Should really have been a 5th, but somebody other than GB had to do well in the cycling I suppose.

Could we have another shock medal this evening in the high jump? Maybe a bronze, we can hope so.

[Novo]

really?...The facilities are good enough for the Chinese...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-18196860

All the more reason that they didn't train there then since all the Chinese would have hogged the place :pipe:

[Marc]

48 Medals :love:

[Black Dagger]

So proud <3.

I think today and the rest of the week we'll slow down now.

Skeleton has a potential medal in the show-jumping but that might be it today.

[Black Dagger]

Oh wait, apparently a Sailing event today we have at least a silver medal?

Will have to see if that turns into Gold.

[Marc]

Yeah there are still a few sailing events still on I think :suspect:

It's mental how many events there are for certain sports. The equestrian has like team events THEN individual medals :crazy:

[Niamh.]

We got our first medal! :amazed:

Cian O'Connor gets a bronze for individual jumping

[Marc]

:worship:

[Niamh.]

We're on the table, YAY!

[lostalex]

[Marc]

[lostalex]
