Sir Rols Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Maybe it's about time we adopt the American medal table policy and ranks by totals rather than gold. Nuh - that's be un-Australian! I had no idea about this till I got home. Woohoo - about time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Australia will pass NZ on the Gold medal table tonight with another guaranteed gold in the 49ers. See all that moaning for nothing! I agree with the US, the Totals table is a more realistic gauge...but the Gold total is more prestigious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 We should be getting 2 golds tonight i think it was as long as we get 7th or better in one and finish the race in the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksheep Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 "Hey kids, spelling is important. Look! the difference between won and one: Great Britain have just one gold, Australia have just one gold" "Doctors in Australia have diagnosed a new condition which they are calling "Olympic finger". Symptoms are pain in the index finger caused by repeated scrolling down to see Australia's medal tally." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Congrats to Anna Meers...Shock Gold! In the cycling... There you go you moaners! You're ABOVE NZ in the medal table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Anna Meares, Gold, Women's Sprint Just reading the write up now ... sounds like a real grudge match with Pendleton. But sorry GB, we needed that! There you go you moaners! You're ABOVE NZ in the medal table. Phew for that - we realise you guys wouldn't have ever let us forget it if we didn't. Now, if Sally Pearson can deliver tonight ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Jeez...They were pretty much punching each other. The payback will happen in Glasgow...I think Pendalton will come out of retirement for it. Meares will be up for it. I still believe the Gold medal table is askewed...A Podium table seems far fairer. Australia is well within the top ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hope Sally wins. BTW, Opals won over China. But now here comes the USA for them. Time to walk the plank, ladies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Sally Pearson, Gold, 100m Hurdles Phew that was close! Even she wasn't sure at the end. But I'm so bloody happy now! And I'll be in the stadium tomorrow for her victory ceremony - my first ever ceremony live watching the Aussie flag go up and singing Advance Australia Fair!!!!!

Alexjc Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Good work!...Kind of sux that the gap tween event and ceremony is so long. Then I suppose they do need to test. Hopfelly Australia feels more relaxed with a few more golds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, means I get to watch it in person in the stadium tomorrow! Martin and I have been dancing about the flat! As usual lately, it's the Ausssie girls who are earning nearly all our golds (3 out of the 4 we have so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Woke up at 5:55am to see our Sally do Australia proud! She did amazingly! And Anna Meares to! Great day for Aussies! 11th is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Aussie is getting back up there on the gold count...But look at the silver count, Be proud of that achievement. Aussie still has what it takes to win. The top twenty nations will always have the intense rivalry that makes the Olympics. The Anglo nations as one superteam still dominate.

dancingbrogues Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Really pleased, especially for Anna Meares. Pendleton's always had a bit of a glass jaw, and if she can't handle an elbow in the kidneys ... Thank god Australia now has 2 much better female icons, both in form and in performance, than Julia G and the lovely Gina Rinehart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAA!...Of the latter two woman, the PM may just get away with wearing a cycle onesuit but Gina would NOT be a sight to behold in a track racing top and briefs...No justice to Spandex in either case.
