Maybe after yesterday team GB will catch up! Its great having this rivalry with the Chinese- like back in the days of the cold war! GO USA :)

Anyway, for the less talented (such as myself) who want to win something during the Olympic Games there’s a really cool Olympic quiz I found – win subscriptions to Speedbit’s Premium Video Acceleration service.

The Chinese has gotten themselves a Kechara wish fulfilling Chakras. I think the Chinese is going to be the big winner in this Olympics game. But of course, States is tough to deal with. Lets just see who is going to bring the most medals back to their country. :)

In statistical terms, GB has already beaten both USA and China. China has 20x the population of the UK, USA has 5x the population of the UK.

Currently looking at golds as it stands today:
USA 26
China 25
UK 14

The UK has more than half the number of gold medals of the USA, making their chances of winning a gold per member of the population more than twice that of the USA (and ten times that of China).

Per capita, the UK is easily the best sporting country in the world, USA is not bad, and China is actually very poor at sports indeed. Just being a big country and grabbing lots of medals doesn't cut it.

You can't look at it that way, India is almost same in population as China yet noen. It depends on the athlete, coaches and support, a lot have to go right for things to happen. And of course a little drug will go a long way though, but you got to konw how not to get caught or bribed the testers.

Just your opinion my friend. Many people would disagree with you. You guys are certainly amongst the most outspoken right up there with Americans.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Scorpio

Don't believe everything you see today and your memory could be playing tricks on you, too. You might remember things in a distorted or false way, through no fault of your own. You may also be reading too much into the situations that are going on around you, making it hard for you to know what's really happening. Try not to make any big decisions today because you simply aren't thinking straight.
