Congratulation to GB. Probably you still benefit from the Olympics 2012. Back then much money was invested to promote sports that are not in the focus of the media or sponsors. And of course athlets who are successfull do not quit from one year to the next. Maybe in Tokyo Germany will also become more successfull than now.
German athlets are probably the most booed this Olympics because of the football WC semi final in 2014. But they really seam to benefit from it. The beachvolleyball ladies won matches easily against the both Brazilian teams and won the gold medal last night, even though they were booed all the time. Now I am surprised how the football final between Germany and Brazil will be like :-)
It has been much publicised that back in 1996 GB won one gold and around 12 medals total. At that point the Government said enough is enough, and so began massive investment in sport.
As a result we are now in a different place. Yet the first non-Olympic news item on BBC this morning was about the worry of child obesity. So how do we tackle this conundrum?
Have they mainly invested in professional sports or also on amateur sports? The US is also very successfull in professional sport but at the same time having the highest degree of fat people.
You're like David Brent trying to flog his 100 pack of surface wipes.
I am I :-)
This story has been hidden, I suppose tv comps, advertisers and sponsors want the story gone.
Lesson here - don't believe all that is fed to you through the controlled media.
'Sporting officials are questioning the legitimacy of boxing calls made during all 200-some Olympics competitions, the Associated Press reports. The International Boxing Association (AIBA) dismissed referees and judges for incompetence, yet will uphold all results of Olympic matches.
The boxing organization chose 36 total referees and judges for the Olympics. Competition judges come from a number of countries worldwide and perform their duties in groups of five. Yet only three scores, based on a 10-point system, end up contributing to the final outcome.
As coaches, boxers, and spectators refute outcomes, the AIBA is looking into the individuals selected to score matches. Board members reviewed matches they themselves thought to be controversial, unfair, and subjective. They said in a statement, “Less than a handful of the decisions were not at the level expected.”A number of the referees and judges have been released.'
Don't go trashing a petrol station with all the excitement...
Perhaps the Dutch can still learn a few things from the British with regard to cycling, rowing, swimming and triathlon?
I am just happy for all of UK that Britain is shining these Olympics.
Honestly, I love The Netherlands, too. Just glad to see so many medals for Britain.
You can add hockey to that, Wiz.
You can add Hockey to that list now, too.
Great minds, and all that.
Best team in the world? You're having a laugh Gustav.
Every sport you look at we are overachieving except in the only one that matters.
And I'd give every single medal back in a heartbeat just to get to a World Cup semi.
A deep bow for that British Goalie she is awesome and 50% responsible for the Gold.
Tonight sadly we lost the Gold, fair and square.
Ha ha
Thighs, thighs, thighs and highs. True Grit. Unbeaten and well deserved. Super talented and years in the making for this gold - gawd bless 'em.
