GOLD and SILVER - Great Britain

Men's triathlon



Alistair Brownlee successfully defends his Olympic title.



His younger brother Jonny, who won bronze in London, wins silver this time around.

Absolutely superb from the Brownlees as the Yorkshiremen (as is evidenced by the Yorkshire flag they are waving) rule the triathlon world once more.



Schoeman of South Africa takes the bronze.

Great Britain are clear of China in second place in the medal table with 20 top gongs compared to their 19. This means that Britain have now won more golds than in any other overseas Olympics, surpassing the 19 they won in Beijing.

GOLD - Great Britain

Women's 470



Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark win gold in the women's 470.

The gold had already been assured but Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark still had to finish the medal race today.

Held over from yesterday, they finally cross the line and claim GB's 21st gold of the Games.

Added to Giles Scott's gold, GB is once again ruling the waves.

Meanwhile, the EU is pathetically trying to consider itself as one team in Rio, even including soon-to-secede Great Britain:

Of course. Didn't you know that lions are indigenous to Britain?

Unicorns, too. That's why they have them on the coat of arms.

The unicorn is Scotland's symbol, hence its appearance on the British coat of arms.



Because they're delusional.

What, like the Chinese are, with the dragon as their national symbol?

Canada
About 25% of the Canadian population is made up of visible minorities, so it only follows that about 25% of Canadian Olympic medal winners should be won by visible minorities.

But what do we have, so far only one visible minority has won an Olympic medal and all other medal winners have been won by Caucasians.

So just what are our whining visible minority's doing anyways, maybe it's time they stop whining about racism and discrimination and start carrying their fair share of the load to contribute to Canada!!

How'd you know that? They haven't prepared themselves for those events now - to give them even more medals - so what makes you think they would have done so had there been no swimming?

The Americans have been relying too much on their swimmers to get medals and are not winning in a broad range of sports like the mighty British are.


Simple I know when I'm precluded from a favourite pastime I quickly find something else of interest to do. (I watered the grass this morning and now I'm watching it grow)

Americans are notorious cheaters.


W.T.F. would you make that statement?

Cuba is dominating the Spanish-speaking countries, more proof that socialism is correct.


F***K!!!!
