GB 2024 (after day 5) GB 2024 v GB 2020 Total: 17-16 GB 2024 v GB 2016 Total: 17-12 GB 2024 v GB 2012 Total: 17-9 GB 2024 v GB 2008 Total: 17-7 GB 2024 v GB 2004 Total: 17-7 That's remarkable progression. I've only listed Games this century, but if you go back to 1996, the comparison between British medals would be 17-1 after 5 days. GB finished the Atlanta Olympics with a total of 15 medals.

What I'm finding so exciting is how many different ways we have of winning medals:-
swimming jumping up and down jumping into a swimming pool riding a bicycle riding a horse rowing a boat paddling a canoe shooting a gun swimming & running & riding a bicycle
Some of the nations around us on the medal table are just very good at a few sports (e.g. South Korea in archery, China in diving, Australia in swimming, Japan at judo & gymnastics).
Yet another example of how Britain really encourages, and thrives from, diversity.

Hopefully, we've still got riding a skateboard, kicking someone in the head, and lifting a barbell to come, among others.

GB through to the mixed 4x400m relay final, winning their semi-final in a new British record time. Ireland, who were fancied to do well, are out.

I know the colour scheme of the GB kit is the same as in other sports but it will take some getting used to seeing GB in all dark blue in the athletics.

Although because GB uses Adidas for the Olympics, rather than Nike, we're spared the latter's horrible thin-striped kit that just looks like a dull violet/grey from a distance.

Another silver! Duncan Scott finishes 2nd in the 200m IM, behind France's Leon Marchand, who wins his 4th gold of the Games.

Wow - never expected that result in the women's BMX.
A 1/2/3 podium lockout for France in the men's BMX. The French are having a blinder of a night tonight - men's judo gold from home favourite legend/flag bearer Teddy Riner and Leon Marchand doing his thing in the pool.
Djokovic is guaranteed at least a silver medal and probably cements his legacy in tennis as the best ever.
Also Duncan Scott becomes the 3rd most decorated GB Olympian, only behind Jason Kenny and Bradley Wiggins.
