The Official 2012 London Olympics Thread

What have we learned?

That the US would get more medals? We already knew that, you're a much bigger country than us.

That the UK beats the US p4p? We already knew we would, we're a much better sporting nation.

Seems there's been nothing but reinforced facts to me.

p4p doesn't mean shyt mate, I've never heard a scientist or anyone in the academic world use your p4p in an academic way.

How's that?

It's much more accurate guide than athletes at the games which is massively skewed by the fact that we entered in to every sport as we're hosts, sports we've never competed in, or haven't for decades. Teams/Squads which had no realistic chance of even winning a game, let alone a medal. We entered just over 300 in the beijing games, which is a far more accurate number.

Let's not even get in to the fact that the US pumps money from a bottomless pit in to their olympic programs.

In the UK funding for a sport is only achieved based on the success in that sport, which is a retarded system but there you go. Do you know where that funding comes from? No not the government, not private investors, but from the national lottery fund.

Considering these factors the UK, at 3rd in the table is punching MASSIVELY above it's weight and is having a much better games than the USA.

You can all choose to ignore this stuff if you want, and you can all post as many US>UK stuff as you like, but you ALL know what i'm saying is true, but your american arrogance won't let you admit it.

Britain

Pound for pound kings

By that criteria, Grenada would lead the medal table (pop. 110,000)

Uk is weak. After this week, UK will go back to being irrelevant

Gilver is like a broken tape.
Why do you keep posting the same shyt over and over after getting sonned?
You got special treatment by getting more athletes than anyone else into the Olympics by virtue of being hosts (541!)... Athletes from other countries actually had to qualify for most of these events!
Yet, despite flooding the competition with athletes all over the place, you still only got about HALF of our medal haul... at home!

You're mad because we're a more accomplished sporting nation than you. You shouldn't be, we traditionally always have been.

Learn to show some respect to other countries achievements, even if they surpass your own.

At least Sepp Blatter got booed by the Wembley crowd.

It's a sexier way of saying per capita.

Blame yourselves for me needing to dumb things down.

I know p4p means per capita, I was just quoting your post. I assumed you would follow but I guess I was wrong. As I said I've never seen it used in an academic way.

That will simply be because i choose to no longer pursue it.


Shooting fish in a barrel season can only last so long before getting boring.
