The constant running down of these people by the usual trolls is a sad reflection of their mentality. Comment posted by brian , at 5 Apr brian.

A gold is worth more than a silver, and so on. Otherwise you could have a country with 30 bronzes beating a country that's won 29 golds! Comment posted by davey bones, at 5 Apr davey bones.
