You are giving Baron way too much credit here lol

I do feel sorry for Ukraine though! They played with a lot of heart and a decent goal was ruled out, which we English know all about to be honest. It is gutting wondering what would have been as we found out in the World Cup. Hope they don't hate us! but I am happy we are through... I guess we ust have to learn to take the rough with the smooth ?

Rols, to answer the question in what sport is Australia favoured in, cycling is the main one. GB have been dominating this one for a while. Yet, the majaority of GB stars have chosen to compete in other events. Not Australia's fault, but favouring them in a big way at the CGs. They basically have little competition...

Yes, it was nice to see them all together hugging and kissing each other and just being happy in general for each other. They seem to get on really well but I guess they all spend so much time competing together that they do all know each other really well!

There's a rumour that the Canadians have lodged a second protest against Amy Williams helmet!

Don't get too worried. You've also won medals where you didn't expect as well. Sometimes the pressure is just too much on those expected to medal. As for the first part of the post, I thought the British according to the furore over the British press reports meant we were the whiners! Have faith

You may need to get out more lol

I couldn't watch. More because I just didn't want it to go badly for her... I had to play a game on my laptop to keep me occupied and stop me from looking at the TV!

Hope Amy can do it! Go AMY! Seriously though, I just hope she can win any medal - I'm not fussy really

Not shocked about USA doing well, but am shocked at France's fortune (but not coplaining) Canada could be doing better for me but my opinion does not count -it'sx the ordinary Candaians that do and they seem to be just enjoying themselves! Austria , China and Japan - okay if you say so - not seen much of it but they seem okay especially Austria (although there have been a mfgew events wehyer the bbc commentator have expressed an opinion that Austria hce not been doing well) Sweden - not seen any evidence at all of that I thought Germany was doing really well actually plus Norway and Netherl;ands Again Finaldn could be doing well nbut I have no Evidence - Russia - failure!¬

Whilst the 2 combine, everybody is happy, but will it be the same when the games are over? Considering USA is the nation most associated with 'winning is everything', the total no of medals things is a wierd way of doing things. I guess it started with the Soviet dominance in the 80s or earlier. By the total no logic, for example, a counrty with 21 bronze medals and nothing else is better than a nation who has only won 20 golds and nothing else... Defies intelligence to me!

Well yes, and I see your enthusiasm, but be careful as you could be disappointed as it is still early days! Chances are it will be USA's games but there are inklings of greater domination from Germany and Switzerland for example. Also, North America has gotten into the habit of dealing with medal tables with total no - unlike the rest of the world with total number of gold...

Your games are yet young! There is still time for Canada to kick the USA ass. Have faith

This may sound daft, but it certainly makes sense with the way the Norwegians have 'attacked' these games. It certainly shows that they have put some effort in!
