Why do we hate Jeter?
Doesn't Amir Kahn SCRUB UP WELL. I bet Thorpey is eyeing him up for a BIT OF BROWN tonight ;-)

They planned 86 medals, 28 goldenDemnach waren in London insgesamt 86 Medaillen, davon 28 aus Gold, angestrebt worden. Nach 241 der 302 Entscheidungen hatte das 391-köpfige Team aber lediglich 38 Mal Edelmetall (10 Gold, 17 Silber, 11 Bronze) gewonnen. Zum Vergleich: China hat zum gleichen Zeitpunkt 80 Medaillen, die Vereinigten Staaten 90 gewonnen. 2008 in Peking hatte die deutsche Mannschaft 41 Medaillen gewonnen, davon 16 aus Gold.
They never planned that many medals. Completely overcooked and blown out of proportion and context by media and newspapers alike.

The Dutch wanted one more than 4 years ago (16 + 1) and we have 19 at the moment and we will get at least another silver in hockey tomorrow.
What's confusing? We just find the heart of the prison and the dragon who speaks without walls, and we're home free. Simple.
Yup, 'twas the same over here. Beijing levels of success. It's been all a bit more silver rather than golden but we've surpassed Beijing in the medal cóunt and that's not too bad.
That "81 medal plan" from Autumn 2008 was used for funding, planning and organisation for all events where the committee presumed there might be some sort of a chance of getting something. Needless to say it's way beyond what could realistically be achieved and everyone knows that but it's obviously a GREAT STORY to print a few days before the Olympics are over.

No wonder you care for Mitcham.
Amazed they did so well.
Well Klein won the Bronze at the world championships so it's not that much of a MASSIVE SHOCKER he's done quite alright tonight.

Well deserved obviously.

All new names to me
Is there a recap to watch this hot mess?
