Team GB coming home

Well the highlights for me, if I am honest, were the opening and closing ceremonies (videos of can be watched here).

Chris Hoyle who won three Gold Medals

We get bragging rights because apart from the obvious top three being China, USA and Russia the Great British Team medal tally made us come in fourth – the best haul for a century.

I am sure that the Australians will not mind one bit. More on the Olympic winners for Team GB can be found here.
