Fun Online Polls: Olympics, China and Taiwan

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Who's excited about, or even mildly interested in, the Olympics?

Me!!! - 25%
Not me - 47%
What Olympics? Have I missed something? - 28%


Well done to the lucky 28% who live in blissful ignorance. I'm with the 47% on this one. I'm sure 95% of us are watching it on telly, if at all, so it might as well be anywhere in the world which approximately shares our timezone.

Not content with forcing LOCOG to remove the Taiwanese flag from the streets of London, the People's Republic of China have gone one better and forced whomever to excise that country's name from the medals table (aka "the China meddles table").

Without looking it up, under what fictitious name is Taiwan listed in the Olympic medals table (as shown on e.g. the BBC website)?
