Equal with Beijing gold total, fuck yeah

 

[Meadows]

It's ok France, I heard the only reason that we won is because our wheels are too good

CRY MOAR

U MAD

SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG

 

[keit4]

Great work Javi, at the end you won your olympic medal

 

[killer_clank]

Wish I hadn't downplayed these guys before the race - they are AMAZING. 1st and 3rd!

 

[mclem]

Yup, 46 medals, 1 away from Beijing.

The official target was 48 medals, one more than Beijing. We're two medals - of any colour - away from that, then. Although need to be careful not to count the boxing ones twice!

Wow you're really obsessed with us.

 

[Bo-Locks]

So Frenchies, do the Browlee twins have magic legs?

 

[Miles X]

Wow you're really obsessed with us.

Don't you make daily Team GB digs?

Interestingly the max target was lowered from 70 to 60, I'm still waiting to hear that they've raised it again.

 

[elseanio]

That puts us on par with our Beijing performance with golds, and five short of our performance for medals in general. Aren't there four at least bronzes already guaranteed in the boxing on top of that?

Hoy, Pendleton and Trott looking good for medals too, hopefully Gold for all 3.

 

[Raist]

our wheels are too good

Not for indoors cycling though. They make people crash and stuff.

 

[Meadows]

Wow you're really obsessed with us.

EBU feed worked, thanks for that.

I think his record was 3 digs on a single page. He's in no position to take the high road.

That race is some brutal, brutal shit.

 

[Kurtofan]

We got gold too.

I'm sure Teddy Riner could beat the shit of all your gold medalists.

 

[keit4]

Watch this sport makes me feel tired.. holy shit, looks painful.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

No, I think 70 medals in total is an unrealistic target. Even 60 is quite high, but a good aspiration. Don't forget that we aren't competitive in wrestling or weightlifting and that's a bunch of medals we won't get.

His "digs" yesterday consisted of multitudes of "FUCK KENNY".

On a serious note, your bitterness shines really bright mate, clam down.

 

[Doomshine]

The thread is going down that road surprisingly early. All we need now is people throwing around the synonym for Sodium chloride and we're good to go!

 

[Oxx]

Does this still count as a 'sitting-down' medal?

i dunno bro, there's alot of them.

The Times and Guardian update their predictions daily, and we're in the high 60's low 70's total goal atm. Lots of chances to come!

 

[nny]

Oh, come on guys, play nice.

 

[LTWheels]

Good works lads. Including Stuart Hayes, don't forget the part he played.

 

[Atrophis]

GB just got silver in the windsurfing.

 

[navanman]

So back to the games, what's worth watching now?

Oh, the RS:X race, silver, nice!

24-24 in the first set between Japan and China.
What a match.

 

[mclem]

I was talking strictly in terms of guaranteed medals rather than promising ones - although on that note, I've just found out that we have a guaranteed at-least-silver in the 470 class in sailing. One more medal!

Edit: And the silver in the RS:X means TeamGB have met their medal targets for this Olympics. We can stop now!

Cycling is largest part of race.

Oh, come on guys, play nice.

The entente cordiale will be back as soon as the yanks wake up and come online, until then history's greatest rivalry is back in effect.

 

[Atrophis]

Oh, the RS:X race, silver, nice!

Yup. We are also guaranteed at least silver in the 470's.

The merciless American women.

 

[Meadows]

Seriously guys calm down...and Meadows it's pretty pathetic what you are doing

clearly you didn't see the thread when Kenny won the gold yesterday

and also, it's just a cheeky bit of competition. France and the UK have been doing it...well...forever really
