Cycling Poms

Wow, the Poms really gave it to the French in the cycling. Good on 'em. I think we are going to see some more Gold for GB in the velodrome this weekend.....

GB only normally get about 5 golds in the Olympics. This time they have 7 already (same as Australia), with more cycling, sailing, rowing and athletics to come - events where they usually get gold.

Well done the Poms!

Australia has got a lot of silver, missing out here and there. They might have less gold chances in hand now.

I think GB are having a great Olympics. Yesterday was their greatest day ever in Olympic history - and they have more to come.

2012 is going to be interesting.

GB are ahead of Australia on the medals table with 9 gold to 8.

First time I've ever seen that.
