long way from a 50% boost. Greece went from 13 to 16 medals 50%. China probably just about managed it but there were slightly different factors at play than mere home advantage as these games are showing.

As for the UK getting it they average around 10 golds a games over recent Olympics. 15 golds is easily obtainable.

and thought a tribute to the 7/7 victims wasn't "tailored" for American viewers so refused to show it?

ballroom dancing hasn't started yet.

Yank

Nor has cheese rolling or gurning.

i didn't mean to mock chief...but all the same

Mock by actually making a pretty stupid and inaccurate statement

What is the stupid and inaccurate part?

The 50 per cent boost part. Last time the US held it they actually went down in terms of total medal

I am only going by what the broadcasters said during the opening ceremony

Were these the broadcasters who didn't know who Tim Berners Lee was
