GB medals

2 only some these so called world best need their funding removed from them!!

this not good enough!!

Dont be so pee'd off. We only have 1 medal, but at least its gold

Plenty more time yet

i cant see the GB coming 3rd like everybody been saying

Billions of people in the world choose 10 000 of their best to compete for 300 odd medals. Just qualifying and competing is huge. It is not always about winning or how much it cost.

when they be getting huge amount of funding they should be doing better then 2 medal there no excuses...

it's a pretty dissapointing performance for the host nation so far

another world best come no where!!

if this carry on there going be up roar it's a disgrace!!

Alot of the events GB is good in haven't reached the medal round yet. At least I don't think they have and there is plenty of time to go.

Well put it this way, they're doing better than any of us would.

Girl power!!

Yey I'm sure there are plenty more to come.

i can because we about 7 gold down from china!! i hope all of these member who didn't come anyway get their funding stop.

Wohoo....well done girls, made up for you

Well I think team GB are doing well, they work their butts off competing to be the best in the world but at the end of the day, there can pnly be one winner, and why should it be GB if the Chinese or Germans or whoever else do a better job on the day? That's the nature of sport, you win some, you lose some.

Chinese atheletes have to perform. Not only do they not get any funding but more than likely sent to labour camp if they dont achieve.

(This statement is not necessarily factual and not intended to offend. It IS tongue in cheek)

South African athletes dont have any funding to stop. All used up by corrupt government officials and sports body representatives.

that why i'm soo mad our athletes can have the best of anything to train and most are failing.

You Brits planing on winning Gold anytime soon?

have we won another or is it the same one in the rowing??????????????

I take that back, you have won some gold

I now know why the Chinese always dominate....

Touch wood we could win another in tthe breaststroke too

I could get gold in breaststroke

Another silver

Well done Daniel

I think you may have the chinese training methods spot on Dan.

Yep, they are the new USSR

glad I wasn't born in China !

Another silver for GB

Dan wrote:I now know why the Chinese always dominate....

they do take them away at a young age to train full time. There was a story of a diver whose grandparents were dead for three years and she didn't even find out about it until after she had won the gold medal.

but it all pays off.. they storming the table

Disgusting.

Steve wrote:but it all pays off.. they storming the table

I'd rather get no medals at all than subject our youth to those sort of training methods.

Dan wrote:I now know why the Chinese always dominate....

Erghhhh just makes me wonder what kind of problems they will suffer later on in life. What on earth are they doing to their bodies. This can never be justified.

like what we doing now bloody Kazakhstan & North Korea in front of us

you can call china all you like at least their athletics get their job done without making stupid excuse why they have fail!

As I said, I'd rather not win any medals at all.

Win at all cost - even the cost to health & happiness - is totally wrong.

A great silver for the 4 men in rowing today. Fantasic race, right to th wire. Congratulations to RSA

Ta Blue. Am so mad. Set PVR to record this race as I have been watching the progress of this lightweight crew all through the heats and semis only to find a scheduling problem caused it to stop short ((.

My son was stroke for lightweight four at SA Champs in his last year at school and they smashed the record which held until a few years ago.
