Whoops! I suppose it had to happen sooner or later (and let's be honest, this is why most of us watch Countdown!) .........

More medals than won in London, great performance to finish 2nd ahead of China.

USA population is estimated at 321.6 million people in 2015, UK population 64,596,800
If you make a population comparison then surely we are morally the best in the world.

Lets not forget the ones who trained very hard like the rest but did not win a medal well done also to them .

Thank you for saying that,but it is true it is great to see the winners, but as a old person who trained very hard and some times I did not win but the lead up was the same as the times when I did win, when you win the public support you but at times when you do not they turn on you and say things which are not very nice.

Thinking about the earlier comment about the cost of the medals, I do not begrudge one bit my £1.09p that I contributed to those medals.
