Fantastic news - it pretty much sets the standard of achieving the Rio scorecard. Looks like our Olympians know how to win and make the country proud ( unlike the England football team! ).

I did think we could get Japan in the end, but there were some mistakes in some of sports and i think the team will reflect on that and make things better for the next games in Paris.

I wonder how much of an uplift France can make to its tally - normally the host country puts in an extra effort for their home games, so i expect a significant uptick by the French team in 2024.

Note, the British team prepared significanlty for the 2008 China Olympics(wow - that was an impressive opening! ) to ensure that 2012 was successful - I dont see France having done that for these games - so it will be interesting to see how things turn out for them.

The best thing about this, is that we seem to have setup a long lived institutional approach to the Olympics after 2012 and we have maintained large portions of it so unless something goes wrong - we should see the team put in a good performance.

PS - nice to beat the Aussies aswell - good to see they know their place in the world now!!! lol ..
