That'll help with the medal count.
Would've been disappointed but could understand if Wiggins didn't get Gold.
Phenomenal performance especially after winning Le Tour

Moving up the medal table from 20th to 10th is pretty impressive.
Well done team GB!

Son David was one of the many lining the time trial cycling route. He no doubt brought them luck!

Oh my god. 8 badminton players kicked out from olympics for trying to lose their matches.
The eight doubles players from China, South Korea and Indonesia were cited by the Badminton World Federation for "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport."

They deserved it. Imagine if you'd pa*d to watch those matches.
It was all a strategic move to avoid coming up against the stronger contenders.
