There was a comment on Nick Bryant’s Australia Blog that the Olympics euphoria won’t last because we British just don’t feel comfortable with winning. Well I can tell you that I feel VERY comfortable with it.
Perhaps the final table won’t look like that (I don’t really care!) but honestly I can’t see Australia or Germany surpassing Team GB now as they are on 11 Golds. Team GB have been amazing and inspiring and makes you feel proud to be British, something we don’t say or show enough of.

Too right i feel comfortable with winning!
Was driving to football last night and the radio show i was listening to was talking about our medal haul
The presenter said
“It’s great but it’s come about four years too early”
Talk about short sighted…surely such a good performance at this Olympics should help inspire the up and coming athletes?!

Yep, I agree Andy! It can never be too early to be winning.
The schools just don’t do competitive sports anymore, don’t have the sports facilities and that is one of the major reasons I believe Britain has failed to compete in the past.
