I know! It's amazing but right now, when I just checked here...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/medals_table/default.stm

...Britain is placed 3rd in the world for medals behind America (masters of the indetectable steroid) and China (amazing what motivation can be gained by holding all the athletes family members in a warehouse with machines guns pointed at them!)

This though, wont last, we've won some golds where we werent expecting to. We'll probably screw up some we should have won and end up about 8th... as always!

We got it back.  The fourth place was only a fleeeting mistake while some Australian got to ride his bike before our boy did.  Justice has been restored.

We have a very significant shortfall compared to China, though. As Stead says, there's not many incentives better than having your loved ones locked up in a warehouse to help you win a few races.

Not sure what the US are doing right, but they have more than double our medals!
