Beating the Aussies and knowing their sports commenators back home are having all their sneers about our sporting failures of tge past rammed firmly down their throats - priceless DT_Xtremez_30:

The Chinese now excel at diving since Drogba signed for Shanghai. As the OP says it is particularly nice to stick it to the Aussies who, of all the colonies, take an unseemly delight in slagging of the mother country. GB gold followed by Aussie Silver just has a nice ring to it.

They're also a heck of a lot better at swimming since Morecombe Bay 2004. DT_Xtremez_42:

Even the Kazakhstanis are beating the Aussies within the medal table. With 10 silvers at time of posting this, appears to me we've finally handed over the 'nearly' baton over to them.

Current Tally.

GB ginger athletes with gold medals = 2

Entire Australian team with gold medals = 1

Convict uses the elbow and bad Judges to good effect... Pendleton didn't look too bothered.. She has had enough of elite cycling..

The press will probably report that Australia now has nearly as many medals as Yorkshire.
