Those gold medals look like they weigh an absolute ton!!!

 

I'm still delighted that the town we live in now has an Olympian athlete! It's already famous for some well known people, so one more to the lists!

I reckon they're real gold, but my OH reckons they're just heavily plated! Me personally, I'd prefer Cadbury all the way :oops:

Wow, so they will weigh a fair bit then!!!

 

Yep, I agree, not into watching sport on the TV (well, I confess I enjoy a bit of boxing and footy now and again) but I do congratulate all those medal winners!

apparently, 'The weight of London 2012 Olympic Games medals is accounted to be 375-400g with a diameter of 85mm and thickness of 7mm' :)

for info, apparently, 'the silver medal accounts to 92.5% silver, the remaining portion is of copper. Whereas for bronze, the medal is made up of 97.0% copper, 2.5% zinc and 0.5% tin.' :)

 

i would watch it all live, on tv and/or there, if i could. :)

I never watch footy (can't stand it), but having seen South Korea play in Coventry last weekend, I'm actually looking forward to seeing them play GB this week.

 

Always loved the athletics though. :-D

I used to love a bit of the Athletics when Twice nightly Thompson as I called him was in his prime :oops: Good old Daley!!!!!

 

I'm pleased at how well GB are doing, I know the Olympics has been overshadowed by the cost, what with the economic climate - it does pain me to think of how much has been spent, but that doesn't and shouldn't take away the pride at how well all these athletes and sportspeople are doing!

 

A lot of them are very young, and are a fine example of how not all young people just sit around and do nothing, claiming benefits and churning out babies for the wrong reasons!

 

If the effect they have is anything like it had on me as a child, we'll have a whole load of young people getting into sports who normally wouldn't have - every year when Wimbledon was on, I'd get either my tennis or badminton racquet out :lol:
