    Mock by actually making a pretty stupid and inaccurate statement

    then well done. All of three days gone

    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

    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.

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

    not a big deal imo

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

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