Japan did well with these games all things considered
The next two Olympics are coming quick fast. Essentially back to training immediately for Paris and you got the Winter games in a few months

I have to admit, GB did better than I thought they would. I hope it carries on and we finish above France in the 2024 medal table.

In all seriousness, Franceβs performance in sports they are not traditionally strong in, basketball for example, tells me they are gunning for a great haul in three years. Hope for the success in the sports as well as putting the Games on successfully.

If there was one thing the Paralympics taught me when I volunteered was that France is going to send everyone at Table Tennis because they take that shit seriously. Like, their team was literally the same size as the Chinese team was.

That modern pentathlon show jumping part is a disaster. The horses are picked at random and the Irish competitor Natalya coyle was on a horse who was acting the maggot so she dropped from 4th place to 18th. And my heart went out to the German competitor who was gold medal place and because the horse had a mood she was eliminated. She was crying through most of her round because the horse refused to move initially and when he did get going didnβt exert himself. Five years of training and doing great all through and then to be undone by something outside her control. I agree it's stupid, but it's always been part of the sport. The concept of Modern Pentathlon is that it tests the skills required by cavalry behind enemy lines. (Shows how 'modern' it is). So the unfamiliarity of the horse is supposed to simulate having to escape on an enemy's horse. (The original pentathlon from the ancient games was five events testing the skills of the ideal warrior at the time. Another pentathlon is military pentathlon which is about the ideal warrior of today and includes assault rifle shooting, grenade throwing and an obstacle swim.)

I like how since the games have ended the Chinese Medal Count has continued to rise, only according to them of course

I like how since the games have ended the Chinese Medal Count has continued to rise, only according to them of course Itβll legitimately rise again when they strip this British relay silver because the one guy popped the drug test... Guess who was 4th in that relay?

Of course you could then say that the USA could claim medals won by Puerto Rico. Or even go further and let GB claim the medals of anyone in the Commonwealth.

CJ Ujahβs B sample tested positive, so it looks like the GB 4x100m menβs relay team will be stripped of their medals.

116 million (mostly) men will probably be rooting for her if sheβs qualified for the Olympic Games.
