Games medal tally
No great suprise that we're way out on top and that's despite the wistful "If only our men could swim" that's crossed my mind quite regularly over these opening days.
You'd have to add together the medals of England (2), India (3), Scotland (4), South Africa (5) and Canada (6) to surpass our total.
And yet, there's a part of me (the bit that has a certain affection for the other passport in my back pocket, which is there due to an accident of birth) that looks at the medal table in a slightly different way:
Gold (23+2=25), Silver (15+10=25), Bronze (18+5=23). Total 73
The remaining participating nations have accumulated:
Gold (26), Silver (25), Bronze (28). Total 79
Hm... not quite good enough.
