Are you surprised at the British success?

Question

Are you surprised at the British success?

Answer 1

After the last Olympics...yes. That was a shambles. I must admit I am looking forward to 2012 here in London with a little less trepidation now!

Well done us!

Answer 2

No. Why should I?

Answer 3

Heya!!...

  I think that Team GB have done amazingly well this year and we so deserve it. I feel that with Team GB dominating the medal table as they are, it can only encourage the younger generation to want to take up sport!!...

Hope this helps!!...

Demi!!...  

Answer 4

Yes. We are usually rubbish but this tmie we seem to be pretty good. However, like almost everything in the world, China are better/one step ahead.

Lol.

Answer 5

Lucky they have AUSTRALIAN cycling coaches.  

Answer 6

Yes,i honestly thought we would only get a few medals but they proved us wrong.Considering we only have 300 athletes compared to chinas 600 and u.s.a's 600 thats very impressive for the u.k

Answer 7

At track cycling no because I follow the sport and I was confident that we would win most of the medals in the velodrome.

Answer 8

In the velodrome:  No.

In all sports, yes.  However:  The lottery funding is starting to have an effect.  I loved it when Christine Ohorugu, I hope I spelt that correctly, rammed all those American pundits taunts down their throats!

Population wise, we are doing better than America in the medals ratio, however, so are countries like Jamaica.

It's better than the cold war era when America, Russia and the then, East Germany won everything.

And long may it continue!

Answer 9

VERY

Answer 10

I think everyone is!!

People who weren't even tipped to getting any medals got medals.

Answer 11

i only feel sorry for Russia!!!!!

Answer 12

I am very surprised, I never thought GB would get so many medals, I thought they would get less than 10 gold !

I am so glad to be proved wrong !!

Answer 13

I think every one is doing a great job... Keep it up love the sportmanship of the Olympics  

Answer 14

Surprised, ecstatic, elated.

Answer 15

Not at all! The money that we have poured into our athletes over the last four years we expected this result! We are a very good nation when it comes to athletics, we are 3rd in the medal table and look at the size of us compared to America or China! Now I know that the Ausies are even smaller than us, and they have done the same as us...poured money and top class coaching and provision into their athletes! Our boxers are more or less professional in terms of the amount of training they put in, possibly more training than the pro boxing! Its the same all over the sports, the athletes now have the sponsorship to allow them to train 6 times a week, like the Austrailians and Americans! They have never been able to do this in previous yeas due to money!
