NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I hate Japan 

They're gonna get booed.

Drat, it looks like they've got our silver.

Drat!

The crowd aren't happy. 

Poor Ukraine.

Listen to the crowd

Awww..... now I have to try and remember how happy I was when we got the bronze  

Awwww the poor Ukrainians

Stupid judges. Stupid Japan. 

Lol... Yes Ducky

Lol Ducky.

It was quite unusual to fall from 2nd to 4th though.

Yes, it is Rawky ... It did seem strange ....

Yeah, you have to feel sorry for them too 

Right ... Bath

Just shows how close it was We did SOOOOOOO well!! 

Right shower, wimmin on soon 

Yeah hurry up.....you're starting to make the place musty  

Right soap box time! 
Dont you think that some presenters are a bit biased? Yes i understand that we all want Team GB to do well, but as the host nation, and taking into consideration we are a multi- cultural society, that maybe some praise should go to other teams/competitors. After all, we have a lot of Chinese, Ukraine's etc living here and have done for years, what must they be thinking with all this GB thing and not really celebrating talent and hard work from all the nations ? Some comments have annoyed me to be honest. Yes ultimately everyone will shout for their own birth country, but cant the presenters/commentators just be unbiased ? 

Off soap box ! 

I'm off for a cup of tea

Hang on.... you're going for baths and showers when there's a medal ceremony involving GB coming up? I'd rather you smelt.  

Ukraine as a country have just become as threatening as Iran...

Awww, I feel REALLY sorry for them

Whadda cock up by the judges

Okay, I'm waiting for the presentation. Skylark, the presenters were praising the Chinese and Ukraine gymnasts when they were performing but I'd be shocked if they were not rooting for our team.

I haven't noticed that in the stuff I've watched so far Skylark.....not in the gymnastics anyway. I think the commentators for this have been great! I haven't seen any of the main Olympic shows on BBC1 though....so I can't comment on the presenters.  

 

I think if I were living somewhere else and watching another countries commentary...I think I would understand their excitement about their own team. It's just such an exciting time for everyone.  

I agree Supes, what a muck up.

Only to Japan though.....  

Awwwww..... look at them  

I love that they play this music  

Does anyone else feel like a proud parent?

Skylark, it happens everytime, no matter how prestigious (or not) the type of competition. They're bad enough if it's GB or UK, they're almost unbearable if it's specifically England.

 

And please don't get me wrong, it's not the everyday people or the competitors, it's the presenters and the media that go overboard.

Yes!

 

I feel like there's been enough time to raise them this afternoon....... it was a long and emotional journey  

@ Ducky

Blimey, just shows, I've been thinking the opposite and how, overall,  the commentators have often been saying how well those representing other nations have done, when they have. BUT, I don't expect our commentators to be unbiased, just as I wouldn't expect those doing the commentary for TV in other countries to be.

There are lots of fabulous things about these olympics: the winners podium and the flowers for the medalists aren't two of them!

agreed Supes.
