Why would a non-Russian cheer for Team Russia during the London Olympic Games? If they win enough gold medals, I get to buy a little some extra gold of my own. Not to mention I will also have an excuse to ahem...*admire* those young Russian women gymnasts.
GB are looking good for third spot this Olympics, although if history is any indication, the Russians romped in 3rd spot in 2004 and 2008.
I'll be pleased if Russia is trounced by three girls wearing masks who play in a punk band that have been arrested for criticising the government. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/03/pussy-riot-trial-russia The Olympics is an elitist joke on the world. More Bread and Circuses please. And in other news: Facebook shares have dropped to under $20. Is there still wool on the sheep is the big question.
