Seddo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 14 Gold7 Silver 8 Bronze That's quite astonishing so far for Great Britain. Third in the gold medal and total medal tables, just a fantastic effort considering the size of Britain compared to many other nations.

Robinski Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm pretty sure we're top of the ranking if you go by Golds per capita/medals per capita. By quite a way too. Also: Oh God I am so proud of my country now. Whiny liberals are not meant to be this patriotic.

Mark_N Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Absolutely fantastic, gave me goosebumps all over! It's really inspired me to get more active and perhaps take up a sport.

El Zilcho Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 What a performance. GB started off slow but holy sh*t have they took off - I'm very proud to be witnessing all this. 6 in a day... may that lead to many more. Great respect to the winners, and you could feel the psychological strength being drawn from the massive surge of crowd support. It must have been a sensational way to win.

darthYENIK Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Two things I've learned in the last hour:1) Olympic Race Walking is a thing 2) It's f*cking brutal That's a russian collapsing from exhaustion at ~16km. I just know the marathon athletes are sat in the village wondering what the f*ck this sh*t is. I just saw that on TV. The guy looked like he was dying. He was laying there, and looked like his eyes were rolling into the back of his head. Nevermind the fact that he is so skinny that he looks like he just got released from a death camp.

Icarus Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I was watching the women's 800 m and the men's 10,000 m today, so obviously props to Great Britain on a good job. That Ennis girl... mmm. In other Olympics news, Canada won its first gold in trampoline today. [EDIT] Should add I watched the women's 800 m as part of the heptathlon. Some damn fine looking ladies there. Mmm.

Robinski Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Golds per capita/medals per capita. please tell me this is your attempt at making a bad joke Huh? It's a perfectly valid measurement of how a country does at making great athletes out of its population. With a higher population you've statistically got a better chance of having naturally gifted people. The fact that it puts GB way on top is purely coincidence . Anyway, Team GB takes gold in another event: flag waving. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/518208-2012-olympics/page/7/#findComment-1061553171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo the Assassin Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 What an amazing day yesterday was! Have to admit I was maybe screaming at the TV when Ennis came in, and even more so for Farah. Absolutely spectacular stuff! Furthermore, I'm amazed at how well we are doing on the medals table. I came into this Olympics not really caring all that much about it, but from the very moment of the opening ceremony, I now can't get enough of it!

.Ryan. Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I've been watching on and off, but Australia 1 gold? Have to admit I'd love to see Great Britain finish on top ahead of the U.S and China. It'd be nice to see an underdog topple the superpowers of the games.

Robinski Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So, contrary to popular belief, it turns out Andy Murray is actually pretty good at tennis. His flag waving skills have a bit of a way to go though. To be fair I think he's just trying to keep his cool for the match later. Must be a hell of a ride having two Olympic gold matches in an afternoon. It would be absolutely crazy if he won the doubles with Laura Robson as well.

Smith John Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I honestly can't believe how well we're doing! I didn't think I'd have much interest in these games before they begun, but ever since the opening ceremony I've been hooked! Watched Andy Murray dominate Federer earlier and praying he gets another gold with Laura Robson later. Great to see we produce such fine athletes from this small island. Feeling very proud to be British right now.

Gymnasts did very well today too; Louis Smith getting an identical score to Kriztian Berki, only losing out on the difference of execution. Very good work. Not to mention Whitlock took the Bronze to with Smith's Silver.
