A great article published yesterday in the Melbourne Age.
London's will be an Olympics of cock-ups, but a lot more fun | theage.com.au
It great summary I reckon.
I look forward to the London Games - they will have REAL l atmosphere and huge attendances of people not hand selected by the state - I think it will be a fun time for London and a friendly style of olympics , like Sydney.
I hear this morning that Scotland wants to field it's own Olympic team for 2012.
Also heard this morning that if medal performances were based on a country's GDP the North Korea would have won easily with countries like the Bahamas also doing well.
Also , on population , the state of Queensland would have easily beaten the whole of England , as would have the state of Victoria.
It seems that no matter where you live you can find a statistical basis for a fine performance by your team.
