Is it me...or is this pretty amazing

[sp1814]

Okay - don't want to 'count my chickens' but right now, we're fifth on the medal table.

Doesn't that seem pretty brilliant, considering the size of the UK?

[marval]

That is good, Let's hope we can keep it up.

[Prudie]

That's excellent news, especially after the moans and groans about how far down we were a couple of days ago.

[Mick-Talbot]

Bet the French are laughing.

[sp1814]

Mick-Talbot.

I believe the French are in fourth place right?

Not for long.

Looking to you Mr Hoy and young Master Daley.

[Sipowicz]

I'm sure Androcles will be along shortly to put a dampner on things!

[Kiki-frog]

Androcles should stick to sorting out lions' paws. Team GB's turning out to be pretty impressive after a shaky start

But to be fair it is a heck of long way behind China and the US

This map rather puts a good context to it

Think back to what we used to win in past olympics....

[ELVIS68]

We're only warming up at the moment, plenty more medals to come

[emmie]

it is and does, but who cares we are doing well, so whoopee to that.

[Brenden]

As I said earlier on another post sp - we are cooking.

[emmie]

how many people do china have, money, and ways of making their athletes, swimmers do well? Not saying they are cheats, but they haven't always come up smelling of roses. Several have been chucked out of this games for cheating, so it's not inconceivable that in comparison we are doing surprisingly well.

[ladybirder]

As I said on another post we are punching above our weight:-)

[emmie]

LB, a boxing term, and one sport we usually do well in...

[sp1814]

Well done Sir Chris.

This is turning into a flipping excellent Olympics!!!

[Mick-Talbot]

and Sir Chris's lackies ..................

[Prudie]

:-))

[mightyWBA]

Only two nations have won more medals than us at the Summer Olympics ever Sp..The USA and Soviet Union.
It's no surprise at all.
We're Great :-)

[sp1814]

What are 'lackies'?

Is that something rude about his thighs?
