How much money have we spent on a load of Olympic Athletes to get them to their peak and win medals, with home advantage? Have we got it? Usual answer:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/.../0/olympics/19059978, plus see links to day 1,2 and 3 for an even bigger list of losers.

No wonder the French are laughing......

I don`t really care about the medal count, lovely though it is for an athlete to win a medal. I just adore the watching dedicated people striving for perfection in their chosen field.
I think you are a right eejit. Achieved nothing probably and desperate to hang on to the coat tails of those who have.

'how much money have we spent'

Does it cost us money?, I thought sponsorship dealt with that.

Is your prickly attitude in any way related to your thorn related activities?

If you're disappointed, think about how the athletes fell after all their hard work and training. They are doing their very best.

Or to look at it another way, there are over 200 nations competing in the Olympics. Only 34 nations have won any medals.

It looks like "Fell" is the best word. And it was the lion that had the thorn problem, Douglas, probably the British GB Lion!!

Cheery little soul aren't you, a real morale booster. I bet your life and the lives of those around you are truly wonderful. Why not just chill out and enjoy life a little? If you don't like the Olympics then don't watch it, don't watch with glee as people's years of hard work come to nothing and then post snarky comments regarding some of the top athletes in the world, it's just demoralising claptrap.

If we had a population pool 5 times bigger than we do have then maybe we would win more medals.
