For our USA based forumites or anyone with an interest in any American competitors.

Looks like they'll have online streaming of events too but haven't worked out if it will be available to people outside the USA...be nice if it is.

OMG ...will you shut up ....don't even hint about Scottish results

You'll set the bloody socialist party off campaigning for a seperate Scottish team which will get them banging on about independance....again

That said any Scottish athletes will probably get centre stage on here...

ah...I think you might mean Jonathon Edwards...triple jumper who refused to take part on Sundays because of religion. Sorry but he's English...unless there's been another one...wouldn't surprise me.

As a pom living in Scotland I don't usually take much notice of which part of GB the competitors are from...leave that to the nationalists

Off-hand the only Scots going that I know of so far would be Chris Hoy (cycling) and Lee McConnell (women's 400m).
