Team GB has missed out on so many Gold medals due to very marginal time/decision differences, or poor judging.
Luck never goes our way
Maybe luck doesn't go our way, but skill and talent does. We're a tiny island compared to most other countries and yet we're near the top of the medals table in 5th place with 49 medals and everyone below us has 31 medals and less.
Its all about money, the ones higher up the table just throw more funding at it.punch well above our weight for sure
France is in 4th place with a similar population size, but probably better funding of grass roots level sports.All to do with funding really and population.
