Only 4 weeks to go!
 Personally I'm looking forward to this.However, the time difference will be a bummer

Re: Olympics: Beijing 2008
Do we really need two though? I'd suggest merging the two threads, but this thread was pretty light on relevant content prior the 5th post (not that the other one is much better, but at least there has been more participation of some sort).

Back on topic. Its been am awesome day today, plenty of medals for Team GB. Just a shame the Sailing couldn't be finished, that would have been another two medals for us. As for the Algae problem on the rowing lake. Its not the sort of thing that can be cleared overnight. So people are just having to put up with it for now. |

Re: Olympics: Beijing 2008
Awesome!
  I think there's also a guaranteed Gold and Silver in the Women's event in the velodrome today. Also Women's Quadruple sculls - they just won a silver.

Re: Olympics: Beijing 2008
Yup, ahead of the Germans and the French. The countries ahead of us have massive populations, so we are punching well above our weight.

Re: Olympics: Beijing 2008
Yup, we've been nudged to 4th place now as I just read Australia have won 4 gold medlas today. Still GB are in for a good chance in the team pursuit just before midday.
We've been doing very well anyhow. Super budget rig now stable @ 2.8ghz (replaces my ageing Athlon 900mhz) AMD Opteron 146 with AC Freezer 64Pro @ 2.8ghz ¦ MSI Neo4-F mobo ¦ 2gb @ 2.5-3-3-5 (4*512mb)¦ HIS 2900gt (823/1116) ¦ Audigy 2Zs ¦ Hiper Type-R 480w ¦ Jeantech G-max |
