^ Our players just don't have the motivation; well most of them. And then some blame the coaches. Others blame funding. Some blame lack of talent.

I'm surprised that UK hasn't been first in all Equestrian events. :P
Aw no, it's beach volleyball again. Good thing NBC has online coverage. (I wonder if it's okay to put my local TV provider as "AT&T High Speed Internet"...) ^o)

Er...New Zealand in rowing? Or China and the USA on the medal count, either one of the two.

Our equestrian team suffered a whole bunch of annoying injuries and other problems, I'm told. Zara Philips, who's arguably our best rider (title holder for the world eventing championships and stuff), had to drop out because her horse got injured. (It got injured right before Athens, too..)

Beach volleyball is OK. Just the women's one. Oddly I don't find the men's as interesting as the women's.

Well they're still faring good. Last I heard they were tied with Canada for fourth.

And, using the "historical" truth fed to me by the "History" channel, I predict that in London, 2012 Olympics, the world will end by the sun asploding or gamma rays or the American evil pigdogs or whatever else the History Channel tells me.
