Team GB set 41 medal target for 2008 Beijing Olympics

[GaryGarratt]

Behind China, USA and Russia...that is good. China was always going to do well, USA had 8 of their golds won thanks to one person and Russia are always strong anyway. If we can improve in track and field then we can do very well in 2012

[crawding]

16 golds we are smashing it the aussies are not happy!!

[saffronwales]

every time Great Britain win a gold medal, they say "no heres great britans national anthem" and they put on god save your stupid queen. geat britain dosnt have a national anthem because its a mix countries.

[OlympicsLover]

Course it does, England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales = Britain/UK

[saffronwales]

dosn't mean they can play the english national anthem

[OlympicsLover]

Fair comment - any suggestions as to alternative anthems?

[rudeydudey05]

God Save the Queen is the national anthem for the United Kingdom, it is not the English National anthem. The correct anthem is being rightly used for team GB.

[saffronwales]

if a scott won a meadle then they should play the scottish anthum.

[octolou8]

No(and I say this as a Scot) they shouldn't.All of the athletes in Beijing represent Great Britain.

[octolou8]

Your spelling is terrible and you have your facts wrong too.

[cobblers89]

As long as we beat the French i don't care!

We are gaining on the Aussies aswell, could you imagine if we overtook them!?!?!?

[stompingrounds88]

AND WE HAVE, 3rd place, 25 medals including 11 gold, with hopefuly more to come...... makes you proud to be british WOOOOOO

[skippyoz111]

Team GB are really kicking our ARSES

[OlympicsLover]

Bit like a rehearsal for the opening night, so 2008 gives you four years to tweak your skills in time for London 2012!

[themanc]

We now have 6 gold!! yipee

[numba1danman]

I actually think we could get more than 41 maybe 43 and possibly 13 golds! but might be a tad biased loool

[OlympicsLover]

Wouldn't it be nice :)

At least Team GB currently have two gold, one silver and three bronze medals.

GO TEAM GB :)
