I believe as of yesterday, we were 1 shy of the Chinese in total medals and 2 or 3 behind in the gold medal category. I imagine we'll have a couple more gold medals in women's beach volleyball and men's and women's basketball for sure.
Basketball has to be nailed on gold. Nobody else is going to come near.
I imagine GB is happy with their medal count so far? You guys have been kicking some serious butt in those "sit down" sports!
(I believe you scored another gold in a cycling event yesterday didn't you?)
GB are certainly exceeding expectations. There were some foolish commentators and 'experts' lamenting the lack of gold medals after the first three days, but they must have been on crack or something as i don't remember us ever winning many medals in the early events.
Yep another good day in the cycling yesterday, with Jason Kenny winning the men's sprint. He pretty much destroyed everyone in it.
Hoping for Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Laura Trott to pick up further cycling medals later today. Going to be tough. Trott's up against a decent American, Sarah Hammer, for you to cheer in the Omnium.
