“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

HUH?!?!?!

Did China always do so well in the Olympics?!

With a whopping 37 gold medals they are at the top of the medal table. Incredible. I've never even paid attention to China's efforts in previous Olympic years.

And I am so proud to see Great Britain move from 10th to 3rd place with 12 gold medals. Sailing, swimming and archery (??) always seem to be the stronger events for us. Our athletes aren't what they once were.

I used to love watching Colin Jackson, Sally Gunnel and Jonathan Edwards. No Brits qualified for the 200m final. Which made me sad. There just seems to be no potential medal athletes anymore. Jamaicans and Amercians are still dominating the track.

イギリス頑張れ!!!!
