It will surely have some repercussions despite the fact we will surely beat Bejing medal tally and quite possibly won’t be that many behind Rio and Tokyo.

20 Million funding vs how many 100 millions for these games. No reason to lose to Australia

It will be spun as a positive if they meet the medal target which they probably will, there's no expectation put on golds.

The BMX racing and the windsurfing one two punch cursed us. Downhill from then.

I feel it might be giving money to the unproductive sports like Archey, Judo and Hockey that get the blame in part.

There is target to make top 5. That’s not a certainty at this time.

Honestly amazed Keely managed to win and also benefit from some pre games luck as well.

As it should be. Winning *any* Olympic medal is an incredible achievement. Winning a gold medal is a spectacular achievement.

 

Reading some of the comments on here, you would think that people believe that have some kind of God given right to win golds and that the other nations don't train just as hard as our folk do.

 

Yes, it is frustrating that we haven't won as many golds as we would like. But that's all it is. Each and every medal we win should be cheered to the rafters. Not frowned upon because it isn't the colour we want.
