What if the UK get no medals?

[QueenOfGoths]

They got 3 in 2008?

That was in Beijing though not Canada. I think Minnie meant the only country never to have got a gold medal when they hosted the games iyswim

 

[butchersapron]

None in 76 when hosting.

Oh I see, that wasn't clear from what she wrote.

Only host country for a summer olympics never to have received a gold? Perfectly clear to me

 

[fen_boy]

But obviously not to me.

 

[The Boy]

The confusion is arising from your use of 'never', I imagine. Suggests they've never won a gold ever.

edit: ignore me. This has all been discussed.

 

[1927]

Think they're out

without even scoring a goal!

 

[gunneradt]

we are favourites for 4 more rowing gold. 1 is nailed on - other 3 will be a battle for sure

 

[gunneradt]

Brilliant comeback by Ben Ainslie today

 

[Espresso]

I see a few more golds and silvers were claimed this afternoon.
One for shooting, two in canoeing and one in judo.

Having an o in the name of your sport is obviously the key to medal success.

 

[Orang Utan]

What if Team GB won only 15 medals?

 

[weltweit]

well we are 5th in the medal table now - remarkable

 

[Orang Utan]

What if we only came fifth in the medal tables?

 

[pseudonarcissus]

I always assumed we would be neck and neck with Australia, but they don't seem to be trying this time..

I reckon they're holding back and will come back and poke us all in the eye

They moaned when English rowing fans were cheering too loudly. I didn't think the Aussies moaned

 

[Ponyutd]

I wish they would take the mic off of the fella court side in the basketball. What a bloody nuisance!

 

[Orang Utan]

What if Team GB only got eighteen medals?

 

[agricola]

Team GB's medal table now reads 6 - 6 - 6.

 

[colacubes]

What if Team GB only got seventeen medals?

18

 

[Maltin]

What if we only get 10 golds?

 

[Orang Utan]

And what if Team GB get only twenty three medals?

 

[Orang Utan]

What if we only come third in the medal tables?
(actually, this is probable. They can't catch up with USA and China can they?)

 

[Maltin]

And what if Team GB get only twenty three medals?

It's 24 now, I think

 

[Espresso]

What if we only come third in the medal tables?

I'd guess that you're right that no one catch the Americans or the Chinese. Someone could catch GB, though
(Obviously not in a boat or on a bike, mind)

 

[Maltin]

(actually, this is probable. They can't catch up with USA and China can they?)

They can, but I image it is extremely unlikely.

 

[Orang Utan]

What if Team GB get only twenty-five medals?

 

[Orang Utan]

What if Team GB get only twenty-nine medals?

 

[kabbes]

What if Team GB only have the best Olympics they ever had and win six gold medals in a single day?

 

[Orang Utan]

What if, eh? It's unimaginable
