We are ahead of the Poms, we have the same amount of gold, but more silver and bronze. So were in 3rd spot they are in 4th. I sure hope they dont finish ahead of us...

Britain will be fine with the Aussies ahead of us..we expect to finish last so anything not last is victory.

**Blazed** · 08-18-2008, 02:48 AM

Britain just won another gold aus back to 4th for now.

**Lucky Bastard** · 08-18-2008, 03:13 AM

Aren't the poms stronger than us Aussies at track and field, which have only just started?

**Don RELISH** · 08-18-2008, 03:35 AM

If the poms beat us I won't hear the end of it for weeks... again. When I moved here in 2003 we lost the Rugby World Cup to them, then in 2005 we lost the Ashes for the first time in 15 years. If there's one thing worst than an English loser it's an English winner...

There not normally better at anything, but there having a great Olympics. I wouldn't mind seeing them rub our nose in it for a change.

**Paul Markham** · 08-18-2008, 03:43 AM

The cyclists, rowers and sailors will be bringing in Gold and Silver very soon.

It doesn't happen that much so let us milk it when it does.

**bloggingseo** · 08-18-2008, 04:00 AM

should be interesting to see how it goes.

What is the medal to population ratio ?

Australia would be well first. Or close at least.

I think its the special Olympics that will help each country show it true colors.

doubt we will finish there though. As long as we finish ahead of the Poms, will be hell to pay if they beat us....

Edit, just checked and we are 3rd in the OlyMMMMMpics too....

Yep, this is a disaster. We won't win any more gold and the Poms will hammer us. We will have to stick to picking on the Kiwis from now on...
