Olympic Update: UK Leaps to Third

It's been an impressive weekend for the UK, Team GB has leaped from 7th to 3rd in the medal rankings. Over the course of the weekend, Team GB has gained 8 Golds, 4 Silvers, and 6 Bronze. Well done Team GB!

Elsewhere, US Swimming prodigy Michael Phelps has finished the 2008 Olympics with a record 8 Gold medals. That puts him level with Australia, Korea and Japan in terms of number of Golds. Well done, Mr Phelps!

Beijing Meet World...



So, the Beijing 2008 Olympics have begun. The opening ceremony was absolutely spectacular and we're going to have a job to beat it in 2012. No offence Canada, but I hope your Winter Olympic ceremony isn't too good so ours looks better!

Britain is aiming to be in the top ten in the overall gold medal table this year. Hopefully we can do it.

As always, the BBC has full coverage here and the Guardian here.

Good luck Team GB!
