Team Great Britain (GB) finally crunched the taste of golds in the current Beijing Olympics. Team GB is in the 3rd place of ranking medals with 16 golds so far, outbreaking the records of all times. Thanks to their efforts and the support of all British. And I think, Britain is definitely ready for the 2012 London Olympics.Just today, Christine Ohuruogu's stunning 400m victory brought Team GB's gold medal haul to 16 as Britain sealed their best Olympic performance for a century.
Earlier, Scottish cyclist Chris Hoy became the first Briton to win three golds in a Games for 100 years, beating GB's Jason Kenny in the sprint final. He will come home with pride in Glasgow.
Victoria Pendleton won the women's version of the sprint, while sailor Paul Goodison landed the Laser class. Now known as Queen Victoria. The pressure was on for her to win gold in the only event she was competing in at the velodrome, but you could not tell. She blitzed her rivals in commanding style to win the gold she craved.

Above photo is plenty to shout about: Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter celebrate their gold medal in the lightweight men's double sculls final. The hot favourites for gold came into the Olympic regatta unbeaten this season. They held off Greece in the final to win Great Britain's first lightweight rowing gold. Tuesday yielded a total of four gold medals and two silvers for Britain, while a boxing bronze was guaranteed, as the team retained third place in the medals table.
With five days of action still remaining, this is already the second best display ever produced by a team of British Olympians. British Olympic Association chef de mission Simon Clegg said: "It has been another outstanding day and a great gold medal on the track by Christine who ran a fantastic race." Team GB's 16 golds is their greatest haul since claiming a British all-time record of 56 gold medals at the 1908 Olympics in London.
That tally came amid a collection of 146 medals in total, but will almost certainly never be surpassed, given there were only British entries in some events including figure skating, polo, rackets and tug of war.
Ohuruogu sank to her knees in disbelief after becoming the first British woman to win the Olympic 400m title. The east Londoner produced a stirring finish to overhaul favourite Sanya Richards and add Olympic gold to her world title won in Osaka last year. Her victory in Beijing comes a year after she completed a 12-month ban for missing three out-of-competition drugs tests.
Above photo is Ben Ainsley, gold medalist in sailing. He has 3 golds now from the past olympics.Hot favourite Ainslie made it three gold medals in three Games to become Britain's most successful Olympic sailor. Leading going into the medal race, the 31-year-old only needed to finish six places behind closest rival Zach Railey - but still won the race anyway. 
Sailor Goodison wins GB's 13th gold
"You never think it's a reality, it's something you dream about. As I came across the line I thought 'oh my gosh' - I don't know what to say," said the 24-year-old.
A brilliant Tuesday for Team GB began with Goodison clinching Britain's third sailing gold of the Olympics. "It just feels unbelievable. It's going to take a while to sink in but wow," said 30-year-old Goodison, from Sheffield.
His triumph was followed up at the Laoshan cycling velodrome, where Pendleton claimed Britain's seventh cycling title of the Games before Hoy added an eighth.
"It doesn't feel real yet. I'm so glad I'm part of it," said Pendleton, of Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
Third gold for Hoy
Hoy secured his third win in the men's sprint, adding to his victories in the team sprint and the keirin. He is the first British athlete to seal the treble at one summer Games since swimmer Henry Taylor at the London Games in 1908.

"I was vaguely aware of the history, people tell you about it. But I tried to make it the furthest thought from my mind," said the 32-year-old Hoy. "And that's why the emotions come out at the end. You bottle it for so long that it just erupts at the end."
The double triumph on the cycling track followed the men's pursuit team of Bradley Wiggins, Paul Manning, Geraint Thomas and Ed Clancy who destroyed Denmark to bring up Team GB's 12th overall gold on Monday.

SARAH AYTON, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson — the Three Blondes in a Boat — clinched gold in treacherous conditions that reminded them of home. The triumphant 2004 Yngling crew lost Shirley Robertson but Pippa Wilson stepped in and the 'three blondes in a boat' won the final race in atrocious conditions to beat the Dutch by nine points.A victory parade will be held through the streets of London on 16 October for medal winners upon their return from China.
Team GB quartet Andy Hodge, Peter Reed, Steve Williams and Tom James put in a late surge to overhaul the Australian crew and take the gold medal in the men's coxless four. Incredibly, injuries to Hodge and James meant Britain's first-choice four had never raced together competitively before they arrived in Beijing. But after dominating their semi-final, they produced a late surge in the final to overtake Australia and keep up Britain's proud tradition in the coxless four.
GB's Rebecca Adlington sets a new world record to clinch her second gold medal of the Beijing Olympics with victory in the 800m freestyle.
Adlington produced an astonishing finish in the 400m freestyle to pip American Katie Hoff by seven 100ths of a second - the length of a fingernail. The teenager then blew away the opposition - shattering the world record in the process - in her favourite event, the 800m, to become Britain's most successful swimmer of the last 100 years.Click here for more medal tallies of the Beijing Olympics 2008
