I must admit I do like the blue Union Flag on all their shirts… I wonder if they used the same designer as 😀

Even as a card-carrying Scottish Nationalist, I’ve found the Brit medal ceremonies quite moving, especially for the female rowers, and Murray’s gold today.
For such a small island, and a relatively small population, the UK has certainly made it’s mark on the world, and still punches well above its weight…

It looked like a pretty rough start for team GB, things were not going well.
By yesterday (or the day before yesterday now technically!) they’d really pulled it back, and I was going to make a post about how brilliantly they’d done.
I was out all day today (Sat) and so I’ve only just had a chance to see the latest….
14
gold
medals
7 silver
8 bronze
29 in total
the best day in 104 years
these guys and girls are a real credit to themselves, and to team GB. The results speak for themselves. That said, the athletes who did not win are still extremely impressive due to the dedication they’ve shown in their training!

An amazing day overall, six gold medals and one silver.
I was so happy for Jess Ennis, especially after her injury taking her out of Beijing but now she’s got the medal she truly deserves.
Mo Farah, in my view, is an inspiration to the fact that he came to our country from Somalia and has gave back to the society something truly remarkable and magical. I’m thrilled for his triumph tonight and it was such a great sprint toward the finish line, amazing!
The long jump as well – brilliant performance!
Rowing – great way to end the final day of the regatta, seeing one of the athletes shouting ” WE JUST WON THE OLYMPICS! 😮 ” was such a special moment.
All in all, well done for such a Special, Super, Stupendous Saturday Team GB! 😀

Having been imobilised for a time, I have nothing to do but watch the T.V. Not beeing one to watch sporting events in general, I was dubious re the Olympic Games, however, I “Got the fever” and watched quite a lot, hearing how some get up at 3 Am to train, ending at 10pm:eek:.
Every medal we won was won through nothing more than total dedication, and considering the size of some Nations choices of atheletes,from who they can pick the very best, due to the size of population, ie China 1.3 Billion, I can only think of one word to express my feelings for all those that won medals for Team G.B.
OUTSTANDING 🙂

Al…..are you saying your views are balanced………..
By: Arthur Pewtey - 3rd August 2012 at 09:10
Meanwhile, back at the thread…. What a great day GB had yesterday, some great performances but all overshadowed by Michael Phelps with now a total of 20 Olympic medals. Stunning. Mind Sir Chris did all right as well…
By: Al - 3rd August 2012 at 06:23
Because my views don’t agree with yours?
Now that’s what I call a balanced viewpoint… WACO…

How dare you call me a Tory – don’t you realise that’s tantamount to a racist remark hereabouts?
Any way – Tories are far too liberal for my liking…:eek:
