Kazakhstan is currently tied for 3rd in the Medal Count. Somewhere in Central Eurasia Borat is having amazing sexy time with a goat in celebration.

Did you know they mistakenly played the fake Borat's Kasakh national anthem during one of Kazakhstan's pre-olympic events. And it wasn't as a joke either. I would have LMAO

Is it silly to call something a "sport" when an 8-month pregnant "athlete" can make the Olympics?

Argentina have more athlete participate in this Olympic than China, but I bet China probably will ended up have twice or three times more medal than them.

Am I the only one who's disgusted by the UK's national anthem? God Save the Queen God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen! ..... There's nothing in it about its people. Everything is about the old, previliged bi#@.

I'm hoping to plant the seed of bringing down the monarchy and the privileged class...the so called wealthiest land owners within the commonwealth and the world. They should do what the French did to end their monarchy.

No they don't. They own promises. The past couple decades China has been sending us finished goods and we've been giving them pieces of paper. Who's the real winner in that? They cash in, we say "sorry, we don't plan to pay you" and we take them down as well.

The only reason China won last time is because they hosted. This time around China only has 380 athletes vs the USA's 529. Needless to say, we will own them.

What a thrill to win the first gold of the games, even if it is a somewhat obscure event. Congrats to the Polish woman too. She wasn't expected to medal at all and recovered to at least get silver. Excited for the Games!
