[krtek a houby]

There's an Olympics this year?

Really haven't been paying attention at all.

Hopefully better than the Tokyo shambles.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Other.

 

[moochedit]

0-25
26-40
41-50
50-60
60+

Can't wait for the Olympics as big athletics fan and also watch many other sports come the games.

UK Sport are targeting 50-70 medals and top 5 in the medals table again. The record is 67 from Rio, I think we could break that. Even if we don't, I'd be happy if it was closer to the 50 mark but some of our stars won Gold.

I've voted for 60

The record is actually 146 from London 1908. I'm going for 65. Mid 60s seems to be around the average, these days.

Ah, thanks. I got the above from a Guardian article, they must have forgotten about 1908

It probably will be in and around the 60's, hopefully with a few golds

 

[WouldBe]

Put 60 but probably more than that.

Sorry to shit on the thread but if there's one thing I could care less about at the Olympics it's the national medal table.... Completely against the spirit of the thing IMO. BBC obsessed over it

Great Britain Silver and a bronze

 

[Lord Camomile]

We need to get another gold sharpish, so we can take our rightful place above the Aus; we've got 9 more medals than them, ffs!

 

[Lord Camomile]

France actually have 13 golds too, 6 more medals than us overall.

So either two more golds, or one more gold and a bunch of silver and bronzes, could see us get to third...

 

[Boo Radley75]

Australia three golds above us now. Didn't help them winning the sailing just now and Beckett blowing his medal chance in it. There's a GB v Aus gold medal race in the cycling tonight, really need to win that one.

 

[strung out]

Very consistent in terms of medal total compared to previous games!

 

[Lord Camomile]

France's decisive gold in the volleyball takes them above us.

Lots of medals going around today, so top 10 could be shuffling round a fair bit.



Sort of a battle between the top two and then a separate one for the other eight, though...

 

[Boo Radley75]

The record is actually 146 from London 1908. I'm going for 65. Mid 60s seems to be around the average, these days.

And that's the last of our medals, finishing on, ahem 65 medals. goes into smug mode

So has anyone done a medal table for population millions per medal won? I guess GB measures up pretty well on that scale, better than India and China anyway.

Only top 10 so doesn't include UK but Australia, New Zealand and Hungary manage to get up amongst the ranks of sporty small island nations.

You'd have to get $$$ investment per medal in there as well to get some true comparison.
