    Rubbish badminton final. Pathetic performance. So much for all the gold medal hopes. We're stuck with silver. And no lining.
    screw it

      Anyway the swimming for the Germans is like hell. They have to wear the special Adidas swim pack (Adidas sponsor of the German team) and these are much slower than e.g the speedo pack the other teams wear. So some very unhappy swimmers in the German team there.
      Today this, tomorrow that...it´s just to keep you guys busy

      another gold in swimming and some bronze and silver medals as well...

        The overall medal standings after today's results. Great Britain and Germany doing better than expected and Belgium largely fulfilling expectations with zero medals

        I saw that going differently in my mind

          Romania is in 12th place with 4 gold medals, one silver and 3 bronze medals.
          A good day today with 2 gold medals in women's marathon and gymnastics and a bronze medal in rowing.......

            Yes indeed both performances were outstanding. In gymnastics it was quite
            impressive the way the Romanian girl beat the Chinese and US girls.

                gold for us in triathlon and weightlifting and shame on us in basketball
                I think no-one expected Germany to win against the USA but this was just embarrassing

                      Here is an interesting link about why Billiard games were not in the Olympics, and probably will never be.

                                you´re obviously not very optimistic It would put the Olympics in London into a bad light if they used doping.
                                I read somewhere that China said before the Olympics that they would do "everything" to be on top of the rankings. I think this is some kind of self-explaining...
