Default Proud of the British Olympians

Is anyone else amazed of what our athletes are doing out in Beijing?

The velodrome action has literally taken my breath away on more than one occasion. Team sprint, indi pursuit and Keirin were amazing. And the Coxless four in rowing.... how amazing.

If you watch nothing else of the Olympics I think everyone should see these:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...ng/7565423.stm - Keirin

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...ng/7565176.stm - Coxless four

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...ng/7565376.stm - Individual Pursuit

When you consider we are a nation of 60 million people that competes with nations such as China with a billion people, and the US, Brazil, Russia and Japan which have a population in hundreds of millions it's amazing what is done.

Anyone else enjoying the games? Or are most people fed up of it being on the TV all the time?
