Rio Olympics

Didn't we do well? We did, didn't we??  Depends on how you look at it, and what your priorities are.  When you learn that each medal has "cost" us, as a country, some £4m, you may wonder whether that money could have been better spent elsewhere.  Indeed, you may feel, as I do, somewhat depressed that how well you do depends almost entirely on how much you are prepared to spend - just like football.  Don't think de Coubertain would be impressed.
