Isn't that like New Zealand beating Japan 147-0 in the world cup rugby, ie not a surprise?
Whilst the victory wasn't likely to be in doubt, the margin of victory was clearly incredible.

Yipchaa!
Very tight match playing out between our ladies and the French: 56-56 with 2:41 left to play...

Yipchaa!
One point in it, 17.9 on the clock, GB with possession after a time out.
Tense.

France purposefully foul to force GB to hand over possession after the free-throws. GB sink both, but France sprint up to the other end and immediately sink a 3 point!
67 plays 67, 5.6 on the clock...
Is the overtime in the Olympics? I presume so?

My BBC online video player says that match finished a while ago and we're at the 2nd quarter of USA v Czech already.

Oh 
I'm watching on BBC3, I guess it's a realtime recap for those, like me, who didn't see it live.
Feel a little foolish now

Fuck's sake, French sank a ridiculous 3 points with 0.2 left in O/T 
Brits managed to get a shot through the basket, but was released after the basket.
Damned French...

I was there to watch France v Nigeria and.......GB v China yesterday. We won! 
It was great btw. The atmosphere in the crowd was electric, and there was huge cheer when GB was mentioned! Everyone sang along to the National Anthem too.
I'm most glad I went, and it made the hassle of getting a ticket worth it. Not bad for £20 plus train fare.
