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

We got a gold and 2 bronze in the rowing this morning.

Looks like we're on course for more medals in the cycling tonight.

Sadly we've slipped to 5th as the French won a Judo gold.

World record and gold in team pursuit

We're back in 4th, ahead of France again.

So that's 20 medals, up to fourth place (above the French).

X-post with IOBIMST !

I'll C&P the list above with today's updates later (unless someone beats me to that!). BTW, this thread was started today, and it has more detail than has been put on this thread as it includes the names of members of the winning teams.

They just keep on coming, Pendleton gold for the women's keirin

That put us up to third, doesn't it?!?

Yes, although I doubt we'll go higher than third, with china and the US so far ahead.

Edith, I'll repost it here....

Easier than more than one thread. Give me 5 to update it.

For reference:
Sydney 2000
11G - 11S - 7B = 28 Total

Athens 2004
9G - 9S - 12B = 30 Total

Beijing 2008
19G - 13S - 15B = 47 Total

London 2012 So far

8G - 6S - 7B = 21
(Women - 3G - 2S - 2B = 7)
(Men - 5G - 3S - 5B = 13)
(Mixed - 1S = 1)

South Korea overtook us again, we're back in 4th. US is top now, after that amazing swimming!

What the hell is going wrong for Russia???

Only 3 gold so far. Lots of Bronzes, but normally they are a clear third.

I wonder what would happen if you added all ex-USSR countries' haul together. I think they would be much higher up (the Kazakhs alone have 3x Gold).

The thing is though the final 2008 medal table looked like this:
G S B Total
1 China 51 21 28 100
2 United States 36 38 36 110
3 Russia 23 21 29 73
4 Great Britain 19 13 15 47
5 Germany 16 10 15 41

So Russia alone got nearly twice as many as us.

I've just looked at the current BBC version of the medals table, and "USSR" would be in third place, with 12 Gold, 12 Silver, 17 Bronze (total 41).

If we're going down that road, can we have all the "british empire" back for medal purposes? We'd be way out in front

Another rowing gold, men's 4s, we're back to 3rd in the table

And another rowing Gold - Women's lightweight double sculls.

Having never won a women's rowing Gold before this Olympics, we've now won 3!

Just watching the medal presentation for the men's 4s, the second American from the left appears to have an erection.

I noticed he looked a but excited!

DH commented that the guy wouldn't know where to hang the medal

Men's lightweight doubles was stopped as a wheel broke on GB seat. They gave him a screwdriver and he fixed it.
Very Heath Robinson!

Silver

That was very exciting, they took that to the wire!

And another Gold

Women's team pursuit gold now.
