hopefully one more gold for GB in the boxing
China got nothing coming in apparently. Thing is they can reorder the medal table by total count if they want to in their own assessment.

fack christine, we blast other athletes who have had doping bans but ignore her's.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and mo farah. he's being coached by a guy that's known for doping his athletes.
look at the way mo farah won the 10k and 5k, he could have won it by a bigger margin but that would raise suspicion as to how he's running fast so he waited till the last 100m to make his opponents look silly. hate all this fawning over mo farah. he's guilty as sin. was nowhere near a winner until he hooked up with salazar

Apparently all three medalists in the women's 800m were intersex
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Were the others all frigid? Boom boooom.
So looks like we will come 2nd then? Some achievement that. Very proud of all of them.

its all about the official medal table though
I think Team GB have only finished first once in the medal table. It was over 100 years ago though
Its not even like we took Russias usual medals either as well

that doesn't mean anything, she was banned for a year for not complying with drug testing rules
Why aren't China second? They have more medals.
Why arent 'live' and 'thread' capitalised?

ranked by golds
So silver and bronze are irrelevant ?
Seems a bit mean spirited
golds are way more important
Azerbaijan would be above Spain if you went with total medals, they only have one Gold to Spains six.
Of course gold is important, but not counting the other medals suggests they have no importance
They do count, just only when they have the same amount of golds.
Just googled it and apparently the IOC doesn't recognize a medals table. the media outlets decide what format suits them best. So where uk are saying GB are second, likely in China they trpirt them as second.
Pretty much everyone uses Golds over Total Medals

Not in the US.
Pretty much everyone here such as ESPN, Fox, NBC etc uses total medals.
