Not good enough but one mess up is acceptable. LA has to be better! 3rd place needed. Gb had many more medals than japan this year we need to gold them up
Japan target Judo and also this time wrestling (since Russia not attending). So many weight classes they racked up 11 Golds from just 2 sports with hardly any competition.
Golds Much better return from the rowing than last time. Well done to them. The swimmers dropped back after their peak last time out but fingertips away from 2 Golds. The track cycling saw a big drop with just 1 Gold having smashed that last few Olympics with 6…but still very competitive getting more total medals on track than any other country. Athletics…1 Gold but also 3 tightest finishes ever that were silvers. I was hoping for 20 Golds pre Olympics but at least GB have athletes who have many genuine chances of Gold medals in last 5 Games Much improved since that Atlanta 1996 single Gold from probably 3 or 4 genuine chances and a lowly 36th position in the table.
Why are there 18 gold medals to be won in wrestling.? Japan got 8 of them - just in this one sport. There is an inequity here - OR should we be competing in this sport?
7th given all that lottery funding is going backwards. The truth is the strategy of going for the low hanging fruit in obscure sports has run out of headroom. I have no problem with that approach which has payed off until now, but the list of excuses here is really quite lame. The elephant in the room is Team GB’s pathetic target of 50 medals. Ending behind the Netherlands and Oz, both with populations and economies significantly smaller. Must do better, stop with the excuses.
This is job lot of whitewashing and gaslighting here. An analysis is done on this and it is confirmed that the only reason we reached 65 medals is due to absence of Russia in these game. ‘ROC’ team as they were called in Tokyo took 71 medals in 2021. UK picked up atleast 8 of these medals as silvers and bronzes. Take artistic swimming as an example. On like for like analysis we are 8 down on golds and perhaps 10 down on total medals. It is not a problem as we can learn and move on but please stop selling these results as some big success
UK 2012 olympics UK 29 gold total 65, Russia 18 gold total 65 2016 olympics UK had 27 gold total 67. Russia 19 gold total 56. 2021 olympics UK 22 gold total 64, ROC 20 gold total 71. ....SO to say they only succeed because Russia isn't there is not true because russia and UK almost even each time
@@samcalven12 You have entirely missed the point in your patriotism! Even when Russia was participating in Olympics, Team GB was performing better than Russia no doubt about it but since in this game Russia was not participating, Team GB medals should have done even better as they picked up extra 8 medals which would have gone to Russia! So if Team GB was doing as good as 2012 - their total medals should have been 73! A lot of analysis has been done on this. Team GB only managed to reach tally of 65 in Paris due to absence of Russia. I am biggest supporter of Team GB but we should learn from these games to improve for the next time rather then living in some dreamworld of Olympic glory
We don’t need an enquiry, we won medals in events we have not done so before, we did not do so well in Rowing and track cycling there again the Netherlands are way out the best cycling team in the world, in shooting we were denied a chance of gold when the VAR system they use normally was not used in the Olympics and therefore the reply would of showed our shooter hit the target. Boxing was a disaster there again the refereeing has always been useless at the Olympics. Maybe boxing needs to be dropped from the Olympics, why break dancing is in it I don’t know. Badminton & Table tennis again we stand no chance against the China,Korea and other Asian nations. Sailing was not so good this rime around, many other sports we just are not good at, and why the so called best football league in the world cannot sort a GB Football team is ridiculous.

Thank the lottery for paying the athletes to be able to train full time.
A bit better than 1992 Barcelona.
Why rhe comments under womwn boxing gold match are turned off?
What are you afraid or ashamed of?
Backlash?
@@blue_red_screen I thought that the left was open minded and not afraid of people voicing their opinion.

Good riddance to Charlotte Dujardin. I don't want someone who abuses animals representing team GB.
Even Haileys comet ☄️☄️☄️ comes back after 76 years but gold medal for India comes back only after 1000 years ....

They did well in rowing this time, 4 Golds compared to zero in Tokyo.
Only 4 more gold medal 🥇 than little young NZ ? 🤦♂️😂
Why are they still called team GB when that title doesn't include all the nations.
Wouldn't team UK be better?
