Team GB are doing remarkably well in Beijing... some simply stunning results in the way of personal bests and a few world records too... congratulations guys, we're all very proud of you. 
But I wonder how many of us are aware of a couple of other world record attempts involving a British team just now?
I'm talking about the Greenbird team...
Never heard of them? Well read on.
The Ecotricity Greenbird is involved in not one, but two world wind-powered speed record challenges.
This is Greenbird
Described as part aeroplane, part sailboat, part Formula One car, Greenbird is a technological marvel.
Ecotricity is all about harnessing the power of the wind and the team aim to make Greenbird the fastest wind powered vehicle on Earth...
...on both ice...
...and dry land!
Greenbird is currently in Australia, assembled ready and waiting to go for the dry land record attempt. To read more about Greenbird and follow her progress please visit the Ecotricity Greenbird web.
