What an Olympics. We are now 2nd in the medals table ahead of China.
That's our country of 65m people ahead of a nation with 1.357 billion! |  |

My thoughts exactly.
But there must be NI versions of Trampie or Kilkenny who see everything conspiring against them and believe that it should be called GB And NI?  |
Intolerant nats on both sides of the fence are tenapenny over there. |  |

Officially, the team is the "Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team" Team GB is just a brand name that they have adopted.
It also includes the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and UK Overseas Territories such as the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar which are not part of the UK.
One or two loyalist politicians have moaned about the term Team GB in the past but no one takes any notice, least of all any athletes from Northern Ireland. |  |

WHy isi it called Team GB? Are Northern Ireland not allowed to compete with us?
And why is everybody creaming themselves over medals? I thought the Olympic ethos was the taking part, not the winning. |
Well there wouldn't be much point in the olympics without medals to be won |  |
| It's just the internet, init. |

So the Olympic ethos is all wrong then? Just competing for the love of taking part doesn't hack it? That's not very sporstmanlike. |  | | |

Makes me very proud seeing that medals table this morning.
2nd in the world ahead of China,Russia and Germany.
5 golds in one day...unbelievable |
Yup proud indeed.
Austria got just one medal - a bronze !!
Mugs.
Bet those Austrians sitting in their far bigger and far better quality houses with their superior health system and public services in general wish they lived in the UK.
Go team UK !

Women fighting is an absolutely revolting prospect. How on earth that could be regarded as sport is beyond me. |
Excellent entertainment, as regularly seen down Wind Street on a Friday night.
"leave him alone you slag"
"who are you calling a slag" - attempts a slap but totters on heels and goes over on her @rse
"leave it Kylie, shes not worth it" - mate pulling her away
....etc.
long may it continue, its not the winning thats important, but the taking part. [Post edited 19 Aug 2016 13:39]

| If you can fill the unforgiving minute.
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! |

The "Team EU" medal count is going to be rubbish in 4 years time. | | | |
