Did anyone else see the news about the medal tables? Most tables have China on top because they've won the most golds, but if you're in the US, the US is on top because it has won the most medals overall (though that might have changed by now), but if you're in Aussie, the Aussie's are on top on a "medals per capita" basis. Nice.

Well done Mahe Drysdale.  Bronze in the single sculls rowing.  Even worse the entire country discussing your bowels...

That was quite a lead.  I never did rowing, so is it all about timing??

Has anyone noticed that a whole bunch of commentators are still referring to Czechoslovakia? I mean, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have been separate countries for 15 years. That's 4 Summer Olympics. Get your facts straight farken.

I'm looking at you John McBeth...


and radio NZ's Stephen Hewson!!
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

it was worse when you see it on tv because a number 3 comes up in the German lane to indicate they came 3rd.  But he said they were 1st.  Muppet
