What is wrong?

What an amazing day for Team GB today especially the last few hours in the stadium.

NZB · 5 Aug 2012 at 00:04

I'm not sure whether this is updated each day as the graph only shows up to day 7 so far and this is the first i've seen it but it compares where we were at each stage with Beijing for medal count.

22 medals yesterday to 8 at on the same stage 4 years ago.

Edit - looks like it does get updated at the end of each day.

I understand it's early days, but I fully expect this trend to continue. Why? Because we are not good enough, simple. There are so many barriers to entry to 'sport' in the UK that much talent is wasted, neglected or simply never nurtured to shine.

As brave and as impressive the performance of the medal winners has been, team UK is way down in the medal table currently at 16th.

What a different a few days make.

How silly the post looks now.

GO TEAM GB !!

Unfortunately this type of thread is typical of a lot of British people today. All too quick to **** and moan about everything before anything has happened. If people spent that energy being more positive in their lives then this country would be a better place to live IMO.

I looked at that this morning and thought bad. We need more of this badness!

Only Russia can threaten GB for 3rd place. Can't see any other team capable of getting more golds.

Interestingly... If we exclude swimming, we are actually beating the US on medals.

What if we exclude Rowing/Cycling? :eek:

Mark A · 5 Aug 2012 at 09:13

For the size of our country and our population we are doing extremely well. I think we have surprised a lot of people and also gained a lot of respect.

We would have still have had those amazing 3 wins last night in the athletics, which IMO was far more impressive than the tons of swimming medals.

Quality is more important than quantity to me. Jessica put in all those amazing performances and only wins 1 gold medal.

lol.... fail

. but why does it link to my profile even if i'm signed out then?

i posted in that thread about facebook saying it sucked and people started attacking me so i wouldn't be surprised if someone did something like that (put a link to me in their sig). my opinion wasn't well received in that thread
