Yeah it's amazing that rich countries with masses of resources did well.Incredible to think NZ & Australia with a combined population of 30 million win 28 golds between them, just 12 less than joint winners USA & China.

Brit just can’t stand to see colonies doing well without them.Yeah it's amazing that rich countries with masses of resources did well.
That says more about you than anything making a bizarre statement like that. Salt and vinegar to go with the chip on your shoulder?Brit just can’t stand to see colonies doing well without them.
Haha I was just trying to figure out a reason why an Englishman would complain about another country being rich and having better resources because they outperformed them.That says more about you than anything making a bizarre statement like that.

I wouldn't call him that...Haha I was just trying to figure out a reason why an Englishman would complain about another country being rich and having better resources because they outperformed them.
I love keely and her winning so easily was amazing but slightly disappointed she didn't go for the double like Kelly did. Ingubritsen competed in about 3 or 4 events. I still think she wins the 800m even if she goes for the 1500 too.Hard to sum up GB's overall performance. If you'd said that only USA and China would win more medals, you'd think that would be a superb performance. But when only 21% of those are Gold, it looks a bit different. Some were unlucky, not much you can do if you produce a personal best and someone goes better. Others simply blew winning positions.
Keeley Hodgkinson will be lauded as the GB Queen of the games and looks a shoe in for SPOTY. Pidcock's performance the most astonishing whilst the Rowers were the best team (which is somewhat of a concern given where most of these guys stem from).
Ingebrigsten competed in 2 events - 1,500m and 5,000m.I love keely and her winning so easily was amazing but slightly disappointed she didn't go for the double like Kelly did. Ingubritsen competed in about 3 or 4 events. I still think she wins the 800m even if she goes for the 1500 too.
Yep, she's a speed athlete who has competed recently in 400m. Adding her to the 4 x 400m relay team could have some mileage.Ingebrigsten competed in 2 events - 1,500m and 5,000m.
There is zero evidence from Hodgkinson's career that she is capable of competing at 1,500m (her PB is a 4:30 she ran when she was 15), and trying to do so may have compromised her training for the 800m.
If anything, she's more likely to double up by competing at 400m rather than 1,500m based on her career to date.
It is noteworthy. I mean it’s not as if the US and China don’t have great wealth and resources either.Incredible to think NZ & Australia with a combined population of 30 million win 28 golds between them, just 12 less than joint winners USA & China.
Not really a deuce tbf when it's 44 silvers to 27 silvers and 126 medals to 91 medals.USA and China ending in a 40-40 deuce.
Get @Burgey to talk to his mate Albo and this could happen.just think what Australia could accomplish if they finally became the official West Island and join their superiors from across the Ditch.
Anything to get a NZ team in the BBLjust think what NZ could accomplish if they finally became the seventh state
You're not the American basketball and athletics teams!instead of expecting to beat everyone at everything
Agreed, you're much more likely to lose!We’re a lot more competitive than them
