RE: Are any of you folks from the UK attending the Olympics?

The main thing I don't like is this whole team mentality. I think they should celebrate the individuals a bit more rather than saying "this country got X amount of medals". You have fat slobs sitting watching it saying "yeah, we are awesome!"... or at least that is the impression I have gotten for the past few years of watching the preparations for it.

I also heard a while ago that the Olympics can benefit a country economically for up to 10 years after hosting it... it was something I read when in an economics class when I was studying business at uni. I can't remember what the source was though... I'll try to dig it up.
