Look at it another way...

Nice holiday, and managed to miss most of the Olympics brou-ha-ha.  Couple of interesting facts - as suspected, we excel at "sitting down" events.  If you just look at the cycling, rowing, canoeing, sailing and equestrian medals, we beat the world by a country mile.  But a rather more sobering statistic is, that if medals were given for the last three places, rather than the first three, we would also head the medal table!
