In second place in the medals table.

What a polite, elequent, dedicated, unassuming group of Olympians we have representing us. They are a credit to their families and the U.K.

The emotions on their faces have been unbelievable

Just shows that young people shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush

Regards all

John

Getting up at 4am every morning for 4 years shows their determination.

It's been great watching the Olympics which was much better than the Euro finals, and most of the funding is from the Lottery which makes it even better.

You don't stop being British and taking pride in your country of birth's  achievements just because you are on holiday or even living elsewhere.  'We' should all be happy to find such positive feelings in a world so badly affected by so much bad news which we are constantly bombarded with on the media.
 Its good to have some good news, be happy. 😀

Far too much bad news in the world. Spot on Hazel.

Some amazing performances by athletes from many countries. World records which have been standing for 30 years have been shattered. Fantastic.

Doesn't matter where you are from it is great to see such fantastic performances.

I like the fact that we are second in the medal table.
As Spurs says last night was amazing
Sir (must be on the cards) Jason Kenny, wow wow wow, was like an Aston Martin passing Hyundais, head and shoulders above the competition
More medals to come, oh yes
