Pretty dismal showing so far. Sitting 21st out of 34 medal winning countries with 2 S & 2 B
Generally host nation teams do better but it seems so far that team GB are doing their usual
Do we as a nation believe that we are better than we actually are & "big ourselves up" or can we actually do well?
Personally I cant see us doing better than 19th overall
Not a flying start, Our are expectations too high?

I think everybody was expecting a Gold from Cavendish and a Gold from Daly. but as far as I can tell they're the only ones that have failed to deliver so far.

Early days yet still.
