Yep! It's a big 'well done' to Team GB and I totally agree taking part in the spectacle is just as important. I believe our final tally of medals is 68 and it's reckoned that £350M was spent on UK involvement in these games. So that works out at approx £5M per medal. A different topic but was that short term 'feel good factor' really worth it at a time in the UK when many people are using or contributing to food banks and others are finding it hard to make ends meet? Also is it right that a disproportionate number of privileged folk and those with private school backgrounds are grabbing the sporting opps that are available?? It's certainly not representative of the huge number of people within the UK who could well satisfy the requirements to at at least compete and would fairly cover a broader spectrum of folk who should be considered to be suitable.
