I know this might not be a widely held view nowadays, but it's one of the few areas where GB are still a leading nation in the world, so let's enjoy it and celebrate it for all it's worth.
The most interesting afterthought is how will funding for Paris 2024 be divided out?
Not just the GB, over here the medal table is huge and they were desperate to get more golds than the Chinese. Interestingly the medal table in the UK is ranked by Gold medals, over here its ranked by total medals won. GB is 4th either way I believe. But Japan and ROC switch places depending on which way it goes.
