Scottish Olympic Team

Chris Hoy will carry the Union Jack during the closing Olympic Ceremony! There is simply no better choice than a proud Scot and true Brit.

This photo sums it up for me, Chris Hoy a triple gold medal winner and absolute legend for Scotland and the UK. He competes in Team GB, he is Scottish but lives in England.

I don't know the guy, but I would like to think that he is proud not only to be Scottish, but British as well.

To me this is a perfect example of why Scotland should be proud to be in Team GB, proud to be part of the UK, proud to show that we can shine even if the vast majority of the UK is English.

Scots Rule! No Separatists please...

36 Medals for Team GB!!

RULE BRITANNIA!!

Team GB is Bathing in Medals! , well not quite but still, Great Britain is doing amazingly well at these Beijing Olympics, maybe because we are used to the smog? perhaps conditions are just right for us.

As of writing, we have 16 Gold, 10 Silver and 10 Bronze !!!

What legends, all those people who thought GB was crap at sport, well we have just proved you wrong, go and spin. :-)

Whats particularly incredible is that Chris Hoy has just gained 3 Gold medals in Cycling, how awesome is that? and he is a Scot too which definitely propels Scotland's contribution to Team GB into the spotlight for all of you who think that GB means England.

Can Team Great Britain be stopped !?!

Team GB what makes Great Britain Great!

Its been a long time coming but finally GB is on the right track, at the time of writing Great Britain has won 27 medals! 12 Gold, 7 Silver and 8 Bronze, That's more medals in one weekend than have been won in 3 separate decades last century according to the BBC Magazine .

This is why I am proud to be British ( although I'm sure you would not think it by looking at the Saltire at the top ) I think its best to compete together, instead of fractured states. I know that many people would much prefer that Scotland Wales and England has their own Olympic teams and I know plenty of people who talk up independence at the mention of Team GB but I guess I am the black sheep. Go Great Britain, go all the athletes! especially the Scots but I support them all!
