Who cares? The Olympics are like watching paint dry, 70% of the "sports" on it are a joke everyone couldn't care less about til 4 years passes, and Sports mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

They're games and supposed to be fun for people, just get along and watch your stupid trampolines, water polo, and people shooting guns at a disk...

And in defense of the Brits, I'm a Cleveland sports fan...no way they're worse at anything than we are.

Last night, they weren't.

Russia was #3 but the UK must have won a few more.

UK is 1 ahead of the Russians..

South Korea? No, they're behind France, Germany, Japan.

We have as many medals as Russia, but we have way more Golds, which count for more.

Yeah I'd agree with that. I have a hard time getting worked up over international sporting competitions other than Olympic hockey, which I just like since I'm a hockey fan. How the US does in handball, volleyball, archery, etc mean nothing to me.
