Olympics: The Official ATHENS 2004 Thread!

At least some of you have got medals, some people can be so greedy. I would be proud of achieving one, wouldnt matter what colour.

I'm proud of every British athlete who gets a medal at the Olympics. They've all trained and worked hard to get to this point and each and every one deserves the medal they get.

There was an article in the paper here slamming the Irish athletes, I am sorry to say I agree with it.

The hockey women played great every match, but in the Final the Germans were better.

Second place (silver) is also a very good achievement.

And yes Liz, now it's up to our men to get the gold!

I saw a little of the hockey, was a good match from what I saw.

6 matches without conceding a goal for Argentina. I wonder if that's the first time a team has won Olympic gold without conceding a goal.
Italy won bronze yesterday with a 1-0 victory over Iraq.

USA won the women's final with a 2-1 win over Brazil, which needed extra-time. Germany took the bronze winning 1-0 over Sweden.


Congrats on the Irish gold medal Emma.
