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

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

I'm glad Canada finally showed up...

I don't care as long as we beat New Zealand.

2c

piece of cake mate :D

the positions vary depending on whether you count golds or total medals

Either way we are still 3rd...

yeah we are spooky! tied with the poms haha!

The UK actually hasn't sucked that much this time.

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...:Oh crap

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

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

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

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.:)

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.

should be interesting to see how it goes.

Alas thats so true, except at pub games of course.

What is the medal to population ratio ?

Australia would be well first. Or close at least.

:2 cents:

Very true! Medals per capita we do well..

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

looks like your fatherland is hammering you now lol.

we'll take some catching now!

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...:upsidedow

But now we're losing to the Kiwis which is even worse!

Where's bloody Thorpie when you need him??
(Off designing more jewellery probably :1orglaugh)

it's all about counting the GOLDS

UK 14th

USA 29th
