long way from a 50% boost. Greece went from 13 to 16 medals 50%. China probably just about managed it but there were slightly different factors at play than mere home advantage as these games are showing.

As for the UK getting it they average around 10 golds a games over recent Olympics. 15 golds is easily obtainable.

not a big deal imo

and thought a tribute to the 7/7 victims wasn't "tailored" for American viewers so refused to show it?
