    That said GB nearly did it 1996 because with 1 gold we finished 34th in the medals table. But we were below two countries with 2 golds and nowt else when we had 8 silver and 6 bronze too.

    With 15 medals we'd have been 17th overall

    The weird thing is, Russian media has us 3rd. If any nation has a reason to use the total medals ranking, it is them.

    It really shouldn't matter.

    Unless we are top, then it is all that matters. :pierre:

    Frankly, I don't care if we do end up 4th, officially or unofficially. Team GB have performed out of their skins; Britain has put on an Olympics to be proud of; we can hold our heads high. Who cares what the media thinks?
