However, next time out, we will be sponsored by Brasso for the amount of second rate medals we achieved.
You’re one of those watching the Archery saying ‘yeah, 3 months practice and I could beat the lot of them’ aren’t you ?
Anyone with a Union Flag in their national flag need to immediately hand over their gold medals to team GB, followed by all Commonwealth Golds and Hong Kong can hand over too, and finally if i find any of the yank golds were won by Hawian’s they can hand them over too as i believe there’s a Union Flag in their State flag too.
I think that now makes us the winners

It's not contriving a system, any more than getting 3 points for winning a game of football, and 1 point for drawing. If football were like the Olympic medal table, it'd be points for winning, and nothing for drawing.

Funnily enough, about 5 years back I did an " Introduction to archery " day out in the Ashdown Forest with Mrs V ...never used a bow before. The guy teaching was brilliant, lots of information on archery, tips and history.....we ended up shooting 25/30 yards at rubber animal targets....I hit every oneYou’re one of those watching the Archery saying ‘yeah, 3 months practice and I could beat the lot of them’ aren’t you ?

Getting the third highest medal tally is a real achievement. Less golds, more minor medals - mainly due to the retirement of the Golden Generation of the Velodrome. But the fact we are competitve in so many sports is a real testament to the Team GB. They've done it again, they've made the country proud.
Also, a big shout out to Australia. Fair play to them for an incredible Olympics.

Can’t believe the moaners on here. A great Olympics, and Team GB finished at the upper end of our medal target. Having done a bit of swimming (although I’m very slow), I’m in awe at the technique, speed, endurance and sheer bravery of these athletes - absolute top notch sporting prowess. We are so lucky to be able to watch so many sports in such amazing settings.

I'll just post one last pic from this morning, taken next to Notre Dame. No commentary (but the water in the Seine did not look very savoury)
Im surprised that anyone can get that animated at the Olympics medals table. It's only an indication of success really. If you want a points system, why not go the whole hog and apply a population factor, and economic indicator factor indicating spending, and a disciple coefficient to ensure 8 sprint medals are not as important as 8 medals across various disciplines.
We've done ok, we have loads of medals and I think that is a good indication of competitiveness.
