Pole Vaulters have such amazing lower bodies. Sculpted perfection.

Wednesday I think, after the track finishes tomorrow
If you think being in one's home nation is so advantageous, maybe France should put more effort into their many bids...
You're right, I was thinking it was tuesday today lol

Really? Everyone else in the games has been previously banned for either doping or avoiding tests?
Not even a single percentage of the athletes.
Patriotism is one thing. Defending drug cheats to the point of making yourself look ridiculous is quite another.

I don't disagree however. I was speaking of their situation before the World Cup victory.

He's just really angry that France got beat off Japan, in a sport which apparently no one in Europe (especially himself) cares about.
Without much effort we're one of the best, don't really want to pay so much for patriotic fluff
Heh!
Yeah, no doubt there is something to be said for home advantage, but real reason GBR has leapt forward so much over the last decade is quite simply proper funding.
And I've never even bought a lottery ticket :0

These shot put ladies.. god damn they are huge.
The Russian chick could actually look pretty cute if she wasn't built like a truck.

You'd think after so many decades of abject failure French sports fans would be more like Cubs fans, affable and jolly, laughing at their plight.
Kurtofan's salty tears make GB's dominance at the moment even better. I know we aren't as good as USA/China, but oof, if we haven't fucked France up 
It's ok, I'm sure France would have 18 golds at this point if it was in Paris. Beijing and London are a flukely good performance, and vise versa for France.

So 19 golds in Beijing and 47 medals in total was a fluke then and this is all because of home advantage?
You need to be less bitter and accept that Britain have improved their setup in response to a terrible showing at Atlanta and a poor one at Barcelona. There are still areas in which we can improve (swimming being a key one) but from 1996 to now, the improvement is there, not only in training, but attitude from the athletes who have the belief to come out and win rather than just "taking part".
Not only that but Wiggins won the Tour de France (the first British rider to do so) and he had no home advantage there and Team Sky had no home advantage either.

It's that sort of pompous arrogance that meant you couldn't even win the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, despite being the run away favourites to do so.
Your forgot their "I tried" ribbons.
It looks like she's stroking her invisible mustache.It's not best gif ever but I tried.
Someone really needs to shop one in.
You're talking total rubbish, Beijing's massive jump in golds and total proves that. Ever since we got the games in 05 we've upped our game massively.
You sound awfully defensive about Frances performance this olympics ....
Do we know if Jess Ennis will be competing in the 110m hurdles, think she said she was going to think about it. Her heptathlon time would have been enough to win in Beijing.
Lol, BBC talking about Bolt being pictured at 3:45 in a club with the Swedish women's handball team last night

Well then be happy with what you've got and stop making cheap jibes about a country that does care and is willing to put in the effort.

Australia and Japan have had a complete fail Olympics, hardly a huge win there.
I admit you're right, it's true that we never had completely humiliating Olympics in terms of medals, GB really stepped up its game, good for the British people

She said fairly soon after she finished the Heptathlon that she wasn't going to do it. Wants to give her body a rest.
Japan's total is already above Beijings, they're doing great, just not as many golds (yet) Australia isn't doing great though.
Commentators are saying the track is very fast and pole vaulters need to accustom to it.
US domination in swimming destroys Australia's chances of having competitive showings.

I see multiple tables here where France is absent. You just sound pretty bitter about our success, another Korey
