    Leicester did very well in 2016 in a few sports tbf so it's understandable. Manchester narrowly second but the survey was done before the Olympics. Team GB (or Team Manchester as its known within the camp) would put us ahead now. A bit like with the way things are going in the Prem ironically.

    It must be a flawed survey as they mention that Manchester came second with London third just like the premier league. I don't think so.

    Interesting that Yorkshire if a country would have been 14th in the medals table. At one point during the Olympics it was also mentioned that Loughbough would have been about 12th in the table (another win for Leicestershire).
    Think that was earlier on in the games though

    Students at Loughborough University? <laugh> That must mean something to someone lol

    But there's a new sporting powerhouse in Britain in 2016 mate - Manchester.

    The famous footballing city can now claim to be the champion of elite sport in Great Britain...

    The MEN report that if Manchester was a country it would have finished an incredible fourth in the Rio medal standings.

    Image credit: Manchester Evening News
    Athletes born or based in Manchester have won a staggering total of 24 medals in Brazil - dwarfing Yorkshire and many massive world nations.

    With a population of just 2.3m, the city won an exceptional 18 golds, five silvers and one bronze. That's more than sixth place Russia with a population of 150 million, which won just 13 golds.

    It's no wonder it has been chosen as the hosts of Britain's Olympic homecoming parade in October.

    Manchester's glittering medal haul looks like this...

    Gold
    Laura Trott - two gold medals in women’s omnium and women’s team pursuit

    Jason Kenny - three gold medals in men’s keirin, men’s sprint and men’s team sprint

    Callum Skinner - one gold medal in men’s team sprint

    Katie Archibald - one gold in the women’s team pursuit

    Elinor Barker - one gold in the women’s team pursuit

    Ciara Horne - one gold in the women’s team pursuit

    Jo Rowsell Shand - one gold in the women’s team pursuit

    Philip Hindes - one gold medal in the track sprint

    Katy Marchant - one bronze medal in the women’s sprint

    Bradley Wiggins - one gold medal in the men’s team pursuit

    Jade Jones - one gold in the women’s 75kg taekwondo

    Nicola White - gold in the women’s hockey

    Kate Richardson-White - gold in the women’s hockey

    Owain Doull - gold in team pursuit

    Ed Clancy - gold in team pursuit

    Silver
    Becky James - two silvers in cycling

    Mark Cavendish - silver in the omnium

    Lutalo Muhammad - silver in the 80kg men’s taekwando

    Callum Skinner - one silver medal in the individual sprint

    Bronze
    Katy Marchant - one bronze medal in the women’s sprint

    :D

    If we are playing this, Jade Jones for example is Welsh, no connection to Manchester! They've just plucked figures and bulls***ed!

    Sorry John, I take no ownership, you'll have to take it up with them <laugh>

    Or on the flip side, perhaps not take things so seriously <whistle>

    I don't take things seriously, just can't be arsed with emoticons all the time :)

    To be fair, I'm guessing the Loughborough figure was relating to where people study but to me it should be county or City of birth if they are going to try and work out where everywhere would be in the table

    We are still sporting capital ;)
