Congratulations to Team GB on equalling our 2012 result with 65 medals overall. 22 gold 21 silver and 22 bronze, 4th in the medal tables. Really enjoyed watching some of the new sports involved.
Some thrilling performances, Margo. We loved some of the new sports too.
What was impressive also was the camaraderie that was so evident in what was such a different and difficult Olympics this year. Fantastic displays of sportsmanship during so many of the events.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Olympics. We've recorded it overnight and watched the following day, plus some red button and evening highlights. Fantastic performances by Team GB and special congratulations to those bringing home medals in the new Olympic Sports.
gness....lol....I was never satisfied with my performance ( although I never had any complaints......well very few lol) but I always tried to achieve excellence.
While i whole-heartedly congratulate team GB in their Olympic achievements, i do have to question why no Golds in the track competitions given that's where most of the funding goes? I guess some of the competitors in the other sports will be watching just which events will be 'favoured' for the next games.
Athletics is the blue riband sport of the Olympics. I have no idea if it gets more funding than other sports, but in many ways it is probably harder to "pay your way" to success in this sport.
The UK has been lucky to have a lot of track and field success in recent years, and no doubt will do so again.
Yes it was a terrific performance all round, and in general I think the decision to go ahead with the Games was fully justified
