| So much for the Olympics bring the nation together in unity and in a happy spirit. Yorkshire people have single-handely sought to undermine both - pathetically bragging about Yorkshire medallists and, allegedly, thowing a bottle on the track. Give them independence I say and cut off their subsidies.

| A 3rd World Country....... Yorkshire.
Quote taken from Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life.
On a frightening note, what's worse?
The Spice Girls being asked to play ( sic) at the closing ceremony, or the fact that it's taking them 8 hours per day to learn 1 record?

| Well done to the British Tae Kwon Do comittee for putting Muhamad through instead of aaron cook.
he managed to get to the final 16 lost to an average spaniard and showed very poor discipline throughout.

indeed, he was fairly useless, but not his fault, he was offered the place and took it.

Quite. I actually felt sorry for him TBH - a victim of internal politics being placed above performances.

Indeed, Aaron Cook saw that the "official" training etc. wasn't working for him and went and did his own thing, the governing body didn't like that, so had a dummy spit and put an inferior athelete forward.

Only if you ignore where most of them were actually born.
The OS map is based on where the athletes were born (if born in mainland Britain) or are currently based (if born elsewhere). The publicity material produced by Welcome to Yorkshire is not. Hardly surprising that a tourist agency would want to favourably distort the true picture, but a little surprising that so many are so easily taken in.

Thats a little flexible in its own definition though isn't it ?
"Where they were born" is one thing and thats fine, but then throw in "or where currently based" just destroys the survey's credibility, if we stuck rigidly to those definitions then we can go back through history and claim a huge percentage of medals for Yorkshire on the basis that until recently there were only two physical education colleges of excellence in the country, one in Leeds, one in Loughborough and most of our semi-pro athletes of that age trained at one or the other.
Look closer at that map and you'll see winners who were born in Germany and Belgium, clearly they aren't there on the basis of where they were born
Of course its frippery, no one this side of the line ever suggested otherwise (is Middlesborough in Yorkshire, well Yorkshire Cricket Club play there so thats good enough), what is amusing us all is the hissy fits that some take when they see us celebrating our athletes success.
Its just LOL all the way for us ![DANCE icon_biggrin.gifANCE:](images/smilies//eusa_dance.gif)
