My Love For Team Great Britain

Well the Olympics are now well and truly in full swing and I'm absolutely loving it!

The sports you only see every four years, the athletes giving 110% for what feels like you and your country and that proud feeling when your country claims a medal.

It doesn't even have to be gold.

For me, that country is Great Britain as they're still respectfully known in these surroundings.

I can't believe how excited I've gotten watching badminton, canoeing, even equestrian and seeing the Brits excel.

Let's face it, I'll sit and support Britain in anything and I simply love doing it.

Since my last British Olympic update they've won more medals.

Emma Pooley worked her socks of for Nicole Cooke in the Britain's gold medal winning cycling road race performance and she has been rewarded.

The 25 year old has responded by claiming silver in the woman's individual time trial to get her own Olympic glory. A fantastic result for British cycling and that's before the likes of Chris Hoy hit the track in the coming days.

Hoy has hit personal best form in training and he'll be hoping to hold onto his status as an Olympic champion, having won gold in Athens four years ago.

Eventing has never been up there on my favourite sports list's or even close if I'm honest. I'm not a big equestrian fan but not even that can stop me getting excited about another two GB bronze medals.

Tina Cooke claimed individual bronze for eventing and in turn helped Britain towards the same reward in the team competition.

So how about a mention for the unsung hero. Cooke's horse Minors Frolic a true national hero.

It hasn't all been good news however with the Murray brothers last night crashing out of the Olympic doubles tennis without so much as a whimper.

Andy had already failed in the singles and defeat to the French yesterday ends Britain's interest in Olympic tennis.

The Murray's mum claims jet lag and conditions where to blame but everyone plays in the same place.

Murray himself says he lost 10 lbs before play even started in China and admits to poor professionalism.

Oh well that's honesty for you.

Well with the bad news over I believe the medals will keep on coming.

Bring on the rowing and keep that cycling coming.

Good luck team GB.
