Can Great Britain beat 2012 - finished third in the medals table at the London 2012 Olympic Games, winning 29 golds and making 65 trips to the podium in total. That could be a tough tally to match at this summer's Games in Rio without a home crowd to spur them on, but there is still plenty of potential for success. Last month the target medal range for the team heading out to Rio was set between 47 and 79 based on performance data and analysis. (not my info, extract from SKY news) Never been unable to understand the point of the opening ceremony, of any event. Just a waste of money in my book. I will be watching loads. Especially track & field events where you can see the drive, determination, pain etc. in the face of the athletes. Swimming, diving, weightlifting, horse dressage, I will quite happily see if we win anything but wont be watching the competition.
