Well it seems that Britiannia still rules the waves.
See

for the full olympics medal table.

Great Britain heads up the table followed
closely by Australia and the USA.

I'd like to publicly congratulate both Australia
and the USA for such a magnificent performance.

It is really nice to see the top three positions
are by Britain and her ex-colonies.

It's a real pity that Australians cannot feel
the pride in Britain's performance that the British
feel about Australia's performance. See the following..

Friendly rivalry Donal.

So you are pleased to see that GB has got another Gold in sailing?


BTW maybe the IOC will now realise that the 49er is the unreliable
unstable POS that I've always said, and drop it.


I'm not really familiar with the boat. I realise
that the Danes lost their mast, but I don't know anything
about the circumstances.
