Yeah, but the goal of judo is knocking someone on their arse and keeping them there.

gymnastics, judo, swimming, shooting (being our medals so far that don't involve sitting)

I'm so glad the track cycling is on now, velodrome ftw!

Good news everyone!!! 'China's Dong flips and twists to trampoline gold' according to yahoo news.

Lets hear it for china's Dong!!!

Congrats to Britain on the 10k win today.

One thing I keep noticing during medal presentations - the American tracksuits are ****ing disgusting.

One thing I keep noticing during medal presentations - Usain Bolt is ****ing amazing.

Apparently Australia and New Zealand are now one country.

As a Kiwi, this is news to me
This is because although Australia have more medals total, we have more Gold's

I feel sorry for New Zealand, rugby isn't an olympic sport.

Yay, we came third!

Closing ceremony tonight. There's rumours they've managed to get David Bowie out of semi-retirement which isn't likely, but if it was I would LOSE MY ****.

Unless you're suddenly Russian, you didn't come in third.

Also:

Medal tables are conventionally ranked by number of golds, silvers and then bronzes. In which case, we came 3rd.

Oh, I see. ESPN and NBC rank them by total medals. I see that the official Olympics website ranks them by golds, though, so yeah, you guys got third.

Go America. I was worried for a bit today from watching the basketball finals. We really need to get some more bigger men on the team for the next Olympics.

Yeah, only the US ranks them by total medals overall. Probably because China came first in 2008.

Alteast it's safe to say Kobe wont be making any more Dream Team comparisons in the future.

I had a clever smartass remark I wanted to say to baconfish but I forget what it was.

Turns out one of my friends from high school was in the closing ceremony, she was one of the angels that came out of the pit with Eric Idle.
