Presently 7:24 am Pacific time, Russia has seven, eleven and twelve medals.

Give three points for gold, 2 S and 1 B, China leads with 144, USA 124
Russia is tied for third with the Aussies (55), GB just 2 points back.

Probably our poor proud Brit posted before women tennis finals and 3rd place games :D

Dementyeva was always my favourite, and she was always stopped in finals, like in Sydney 2000 or Rolland Garros 2004 when she lost to Nastya Myskina. Safina showed miracles playing tree games that last two hours each in a period of 24 hours, but Elena deserved this gold. The final game was awesome, best women tennis I ever saw.

I wonder why everyone was always so excited by peasant girls like Sharapova or Kournikova.

Britain still third. Ranking works on number of golds you have, with the next medal class deciding a tie. Russia are 8th.  :aok

BTW, Boroda - you've already posted how crap the Georgian armed forces are. Why are you now making them out to be 300 Spartan heroes? You really are bonkers aren't you?

Unlike British Empire, US or nazi Germany we don't fight with civilians. We destroyed Georgian military and that's all.

How's BBC? Where are Russian troops seen now? On the Moon moving to Mars now escorted by Lunar Police cars? :D

8th for a nation of 150 million people. For shame!  :cry

Who's next for the Russian bear? The peace-loving pygmies of the Upper Volta? I hear they are armed to the teeth with dried grass and sharpened mango. Should be just the ticket!

Ranking works on whatever makes your country look the best.

If some country has a single athlete that earns a single gold, say Tunisia, and another country, say Kenya has three athletes who earn 2 silver and a bronze, then I would say Kenya is a better olympic team.

Really? Then why am I still seeing pics with their tanks, their equipment and planes? They didn't destroy the Georgian Military. Like I said before, you invaded a country smaller than TEXAS and you just about failed at that.

You want a cookie?? You'll still probably have trouble trying to take it from my hands :rolleyes:

The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,

LOL Holden

As a former competitive rower, I only really find the rowing and the beach volleyball interesting.
