GB are better than China at Badminton
It should be all about winning. Gold should be 4 points and silver 2 and bronze 1. Olympics is about the gold medals first and foremost.Kmarion wrote:

Lets say a gold is worth three points a silver is worth two and a bronze is worth one.
If you add it up like that the Chinese have 39 and the Americans have 48 points.
Doesn't that makes sense?

Payano upsets Frenchman, while Briton cries foulWarren swore he heard somebody in the stands yelling "Move! Move!", meaning the world champion flyweight had the lead and should simply avoid getting punched to win. His coaches were screaming the opposite message from their ringside seats, because Warren actually trailed 9-8 and needed to attack.
In a painfully perfect illustration of what might be the U.S. boxing team's biggest problem, Warren listened to what he thought his friends, family or teammates were telling him. It cost him a chance at the medal he waited four years to hang around his mother's neck.

I'm so proud of my country and it's 0 medals.
China has a lot of gold!
US has a lot of bronze and they celebrate like its platinum... pffft, mediocre punks.

Nothing more funnier than watching the US gymnastics team celebrating a bronze medal, while the Japan team won silver and didn't give a shit.
Americans are easily amused.

a bronze medal at the olympics is nothing at ALL to be ashamed of. i would be celebrating like am otherfucker.
Not to mentioned they were doomed to failure when two of their best gymnasts dropped out, so to come back from that and medal is...amazing.
well, where are you from? simple question really.MGS3_GrayFox wrote:
