What an end to the women's basketball![]()
It was incredible. What a game - I needed to go somewhere but could not leave without seeing the result.
I never watch basketball but I really enjoyed that.

Which means we've won a medal on every day of the games which I believe is the first time![]()
That’s that then. Apart from the stupid opening ceremony,
The only thing that’ll save that is if they wheel out JMJ.Not quite you got the closing ceremony![]()
Paralympics starts in 2 weeks, that that not on freeview?Just one more half day of competition left tomorrow, last events starting at 1400. And then the summer of televised Freeview sport will be over.![]()
Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg is the most you can look forward too.The only thing that’ll save that is if they wheel out JMJ.
That’s that then. Apart from the stupid opening ceremony, that’s been a good fortnight. We can’t be upset with the final GB medal tally.
See you all in two years for the winter games.
Medal tables are interesting for Team GB since the London Olympics. Very impressive and consistent totals, though the gold tally has gradually decreased.
65 medals in 2012, 67 in 2016, 64 in 2020, 65 in 2024. Gold: 29 in 2012, 27 in 2016, 22 in 2020, 14 in 2024.
I think its fair to say that there was a lot more money pumped into Team GB for the home games and that's probably starting to wear off a little now, there was certainly a "golden generation" of Olympic Athletes there for sure though
Some of the other nations have upped their game in some of our previously strong sports too.
Just waiting on someone to face plant going over that step.
After the spectacular opening ceremony, this closing ceremony is looking average.
