Do we have enough contenders for the remaining gold medals to make up the 4 we are behind Japan ?
Hopefully Russia cant catch us either - Would be the first time since Athens 2004 where we'll finish outside the top four in the medal table if they do
Very much enjoyed the Beebs expert analysis of the pentathlon. In the same way that my wife always seems to sit down and hang on every word Mark Foster says about the swimming...a sport she has very little interest in.
Sad to think with the inevitable break up of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the home nations will soon be getting the sort of medal count Spain is achieving.

England would be well up near the top if it was competing on its own. A few team sports might be harder to compete in without Scottish team members, and there's obviously some Scottish individual medals, but it's not a big proportion. Very few Welsh competitors, and a lot of the Northern Ireland athletes already compete for Ireland not GB.
Overall there might even be a benefit - we could enter Scottish competitors as well as English. Two boxers in each weight division. A bit like the way there seem to be Kenyan long-distance runners competing for a variety of countries.

Pentathlon double for GB .. Choong drew the same horse as French .. love the 'Waterloo spirit' displayed by the Brits, the Duke of Wellington would have been very proud

Made all the more enjoyable by another GB win.
