Why is it such a surprise that we are third in the table AKR ? I know we will probably drop, but we aren't crap at everything ya know
GOOO BRITAIN!!!! WOOP WOOP WOOP
Well because in the last few Olympics Britain was always around 8th and 9th and Italy, Australia and Germany always ahead. Oh well Britain is having a good run this year and Italy I have to admit are doing crap. Well congrats to Britian then. Personally we Italians don't care if you Brits finish ahead of us. I think though the Australians have a rivalry with you Brits and want to beat you. This will be interesting to see which nation finishes on top.

By the way, although tennis may not truly belong in the Olympics, football defenitly does. For one it is the oldest International (For nations) Association Football tournament in the world. The first Olympic Football tournament was held in 1896. (This was unoffical) The first offical tournament was in the 1900 Olympic games. The first FIFA World Cup, the second oldest football tournament was first held in 1930. The 30s was an era where Italy were super dominant. They won the World cup in 1934 and 1938 and also the Olympics Football Gold medal in 1936.
