Well done to you guys.
We both have 15 Gold medals!
However, you do beat us hands down on population of more than double our number.

Good job sheep shagging isn't an Olympic sport, else the kiwis would be well clear of the field
might get pushed for the gold by the welsh contingent of team gb
Your team is doing much better than in recent Olympics, nice one. Shame that the football and rugby teams couldn’t stay sober for the flight home, but presumably they were living it up before the hotel quarantine I assume they have to go into now.
Given that our domination of rowing and the velodrome seems to have come to the end I’m actually surprised how well GB is doing. Can’t see where we are getting a gold in athletics though. Perhaps a freak relay win.
If you were in the US China wouldn’t be top of the table, as they take any measure which favours them and on total medals won USA the is top. If they were leading on golds won I’m sure they would be displaying tables set up to show that .

And we are doing well in boxing too, be nice to get a gold there.
And here l thought it was the English cricket team arriving early for the Ashes!
Yes, only the Americans can have a World Series amongst themselves.
GB back to 4th in the medal table after Laura Kenny and Katie Archibald win gold in the Madison with a faultless performance.
Well done to Tom Daley getting bronze in the diving. [HASHTAG]#proud[/HASHTAG]
The Chinese bloke that finished 2nd had the right hump with his fellow countryman who got gold... I wouldn't worry as he probably has a good chance for gold in the womens cycling later.

Another gold for GB with a win in the men's modern pentathlon for Choong.
That's gold in both the men's and women's modern pentathlon.
Turning into an excellent games for GB.

Good to see China displaced from 1st position, even if it is the good old US of A.
GB is certainly doing well, along with Oz.
NZ, if you look at their population, has also excelled.
If you consider Oz & NZ have populations a lot less than all the other high flyers, combined,
( 17+7=24 gold ) ….. would be in fourth place, just saying.
All in all, it’s been a good games for us all.

Well, that’s it for the Tokyo Olympics, which captured my attention pretty strongly after the first couple of days. Perhaps the reduced TV coverage actually enhanced it, being more focussed. Another incredible showing for Great Britain with two more golds on the last day, same medals total as the home games in London, and spread over more sports as well.
Given the extreme circumstances well done to the Japanese for the organisation.
Quite pleased that it’s only 3 years until the next Olympics.
