Russia bearing down on us for third place, only one gold medal behind. We really need a strong day tomorrow.

Considering we were 10th only a few days ago i wouldn't say 4th was too bad

I can't believe Craig. I mean, why go so early? May be nerves but I still cant believe it plus both of USA's 4x100m relay teams got disqualified. One of the worst displays of relays I've seen in these olympics from the amount of teams that have been disqualified. Phillips Idowu was so unlucky. He came to Beijing with one target and that was gold and he was just SO unlucky.
Personally I think Russia will overtake us now, but it doesn't really matter. Can't get much better than we have so far this olympics.

Why are Britain always unlucky? Why can't people face the fact that other people were better and Britain didn't win gold?

Well that's true, but I think Idowu CAN beat the portuguese guy who beat him. He was quite nervous at the start and near the end, you could tell.
