Same, way to make me feel happy but also totally and completely inadequate at the same time.

The BBC's coverage of the Olympics has been almost uniformly excellent, but one thing I've noticed is that when watching the BBC One coverage online it stays on BBC One even when the Olympics programme has switched to BBC Two, meaning I'm left watching the news.

Russia are only winning in the American system, and I think we've shown how little we care about how THEY do things. Everywhere else it's the Golds that count, and we're well in front in that respect.
