Belgium has one medal in high jumping now

. She jumped 2.05 meter in one time

.
Belgium is a small country, so i'm glad we at least got one medal. Now let's hope that we get a Second one.

I'm definately gonna go to London in 2012 to see some of it live. I'll be 20 by then, and hopefully I won't be as poor as most students. XD

They're going to cost you £9,3 billion (13 billion €), thrice as much as the original budget. Good thing we lost

13 bilion in long scale or short scale?
If in long scale... 13'000'000'000€... this means so much money... 342€ for any Pole.... this means all the Poles would buy Xbox 360 Premium for each one including women, infants and oldbies...

Tromsø, a Norwegian city, wants to host the 2018 Winter Olympics. Already now it's clear that it will cost at least twice as much as they originally planned a couple of years ago.

Yeah, they beat Iceland in the final. It's a shame, I was rooting for Iceland. It's amazing that a (relatively) isolated island with only 250 000 inhabitants can make it to the olympic final
in a team sport!

9 billion? Fuck that. They get some of that by jacking up the bus fares, and everything here is extortionate as it is.
