Just 11 Medals away from the US.. They don't even have swimming anymore. Oh imagine the salty salty delicious tears if GB tops US in the medal table!

Trading in the pool for the track.

Surely now, Andy Murray must be regarded as the greatest male tennis player of all time.

Ha

 

[D4Danger]

Louis Smith looks gutted with his silver after getting shafted.

 

[Nevasleep]

Poor old Tim.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

LMAO, McEnroe asking Murray which one he wants: a gold medal or a slam.

OBVIOUSLY a slam, but he won't say that shit

If this gold medal is the most success Murray will ever have at Wimbledon, I'm ok with this.

 

[Psychotext]

the murray scottish-british thing was funny i dunno the first time i heard it five years ago. kinda lost it by the twelve billionth repetition, especially when he became really good and it stopped being true.

It never stopped being true because the media never stopped doing it. Even after the last Wimbledon final they reverted to him mostly being referred to as Scottish after he lost vs British when he had a chance.

Some dickhead was bound to do it. Don't know why they couldn't just allow him to enjoy his achievement.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Wow, Federer was so out of it.

Well he's still slamless.

it only works like that in America

Idk about that...

 

[mxgt]

Can we get 20 golds for our greatest ever haul except for 1908?

 

[Meadows]

you can't say it's better or worse than a GS

Fed would have preferred this Gold to Wimbledon imo

vise versa with Murray

 

[Wes]

LMAO, McEnroe asking Murray which one he wants: a gold medal or a slam.

I think, honestly, he'd rather have a Gold at an Olympics in London than a slam. He has a chance of a slam four times a year but an Olympics in your home country comes once in a lifetime.

Plus the amount of confidence this will give him, BEATING DJOKOVIC AND FEDERER TO WIN, is going to be huge!

 

[clemenx]

Lol, no.

Murray maybe prefers this because it's in his country but otherwise, no.

Only 17 more gold medals to go!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

They should play Scotland the Brave or Flower of Scotland for Murray.

This. We still have a good number of medals to be won in track. Plus we're

practically

assured a top 2 finish in basketball.

nonoonononononononono NO


no way.

 

[Arnie]

Happy that smarmy arse 'RF' lost.

Even happier that Andy won, deserves something to celebrate, and proving that you don't need to be an effervescent smelting pot of personality to be a great sportsman.

 

[Adamm]

Wow Russia have 31 medals, but only 3 golds

 

[numble]

Strategic cycling.

 

[AngryMoth]

Its not a grand slam, but it feels just as good. Unbelievable. Congratulations Andy Murray. Fed wasn't at his best, but Andy played one of the best matches of his life and thoroughly deserves the medal. What a fucking weekend. Laura Robson must be licking her lips right now.

Doubt it, but may treasure it more if he wins a couple of slams.

 

[Salvadora]

Synchronised Swimming is bizarre isn't it.

 

[Meadows]

HERE COMES MURRAY FOR THE CEREMONY!

 

[GarthVaderUK]

What a weekend! So happy for Murray!

they opened the velodrome? are Team GB doing anything today and did we already win?

Now I've heard it all.

i doubt that. maybe to any other slam, but not wimbledon. his 7th wimby equaled sampras's all time best.

 

[Adamm]

Damn china opening lift is and Olympic record in weightlifting

 

[Diprosalic]

you guys are crazy if you think anyone would take a gold over a slam.

saying that someone prefers gold over Wimbledon is flat out insane.

 

[bjaelke]

Sprint followed by the omnium.

 

[fuenf]

dont forget that it got him world #1 and the weeks at #1 record.

a normal GS maybe, but too many records / achievments came with this one

 

[L1NETT]

Synchronised Swimming is bizarre isn't it.

I don't get it. At all.

In all honesty, sports which are judged are a bit odd in my eyes. Might be just me though.

If he honestly wants a gold medal over a slam, he's crazy.

A medal makes a nice ADDITION to a tennis career to complement slams; it shouldn't be the crowning achievement for a top player.

 

[Meadows]

WELL DONE DEL POTRO

I really don't know what's happening with tennis this Olympics Del Potro was 'destroying' Fed until he lost concentration, then Del Potro 'Destroyed' Novak even after his marathon.

 

[numble]

Brits are ahead in omnium, I think, and are favorites for the Women's sprint.

 

[Psychotext]

He'll never have another opportunity to get a career golden slam, he'll win more majors though.

I don't have a feeling on it either way, but I can see the argument.

 

[elseanio]

Last 2 events in the Omnium, where GB is 2nd at the moment

 

[Sax Russel]

Along with what other people have said, I think the #1 ranking and beating Sampras' weeks at #1 total were huge for him.

 

[Diprosalic]

i didn't see the match but i think novak didn't really care for that bronze.

 

[Speevy]

This is huge for Andy Murray.

Now he knows he can beat a great player on a big stage.


I say Murray beats Djokovic to win the US Open.

 

[Wes]

Fed hasn't won Olympic gold in the singles is the point I think he's trying to make. The one thing he's missing if I can recall correctly.

Impressed delpo got Bronze!

 

[Juicy Bob]

Well done Andy. Well fucking done.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Wow Russia have 31 medals, but only 3 golds

They'll be getting two from synchronized swimming. The announcers are saying that coaches for other teams have flatout told them that they'd be happy with silver of bronze because they know that they have no chance of beating Russia.

 

[Zaph]

The Swiss have really nice Olympic jackets. Is the embroidery Helvetica?

Ha I love it, love the way they walk on like crazy robots

Impressed delpo got Bronze!

if he could chose 10 tournament wins he would take wimbledon 10 times. (he said that before) and i totally believe him.

 

[clemenx]

Fed didn't cry. It's clear he didn't mind much =P

Oh and Del Potro to win USO again.

 

[dc89]

Well done Murray!

Even singing the national anthem.
