Medals

[FrankelSaysRelax]

I thought someone ought to keep a medal tally, particularly as Team GB have just picked up their first medal - a Silver in the women's road race.

As at 4pm 29 July 2012

The official page with rolling updates is here.

GB is in joint 12th place (another event has concluded, and China has won another Gold, since opening post).

Bloody Chinese messing up my table

There's an app for that too, for various OSs. It's free, called something like BBC London 2012 Olympics results.

I've just done a bedtime check on the tables, and GB is in 16th place (down from our the highest point of 11th).

I was tickled to see the glorious nation of Kazakhstan in 6th!

We did get a bronze to take our medal total to 2 though

At bedtime today, we've one more medal (Bronze), but have moved down to 20th.

Still a lot of the events in which we have strong contenders have yet to come.

I'd like a thread to tell us which medals team GB have won so far. I think I might start one...

Why not add it here?

We appear to be still in 20th place, with one more medal.

The medals GB has won so far are:

Silver: women's cycling road race
Silver: eventing
Bronze: men's artistic gymnastics
Bronze: women's swimming 400m

So close yet so far with an eventing individual, but that's horses for you!

This bit of the LBC website gives Team GB medallists so far (with pix).

Missed the bedtime update last night: GB has slipped to 21st place, though the medals tally remains the same at 4:

Equestrian: eventing: team

Readers interested in GB performance might like also to look at the Channel 4 Alternative Interactive Medals Table. On it you can re-score a country's medal haul against other indices such as population, freedom, debt and CO2 emissions (to see a "cost" of those medals).

We're now in 12th, depsite adding a silver (rowing) to our haul.

China and the USA tied on 30 each but China streaking away with 17 Gold to the USA's 13.

2 more Gold (shooting & canoeing) and a Silver (canoeing)

We're now 5th in the table

The Aussies are having a shocking time - only 1 Gold and 15th in the table

A silver in the judo as well :)

Did Chris Hoy just get gold in men's team sprint?

Yes

Gosh!

A Good Morning (rather than a bedtime) sit rep.

It looks like a day with possibilities today - with Adlington swimming again, Ennis starting her events, women's pairs rowing, and Pendleton cycling in the keirin; plus women's foot quarter finals and Murray's semi in the tennis.
