Now this is probably down to GB getting better at winning stuff in the last three Olympics or it could be orders from above. You know, our wonderful Conservative/little britain/brexiteer government.
Just saying.
Amazingly I only saw about half a dozen medal ceremonies on tv over here, I wonder if over here they were scared of protests during the anthem so didn't show many, something that is a very hot potato over here!!
