Team GB medals after Day 15

 

Rank Gold Silver Bronze Total
2 27 22 17 66

 

Farah and Adams maintained their Olympic titles from London, Liam Heath won the K-1 200m and we also got some bronzes from Vicky Holland, Bianca Walkden and the women's 4x400 relay. With that, the total of London 2012 has been surpassed, with one more secure medal to come today.

Great job for the best British team ever indeed. :yes I've never expected second place ahead of China!

Team GB with 16 4th place finishes is equally as impressive and shows growing strength and depth, exciting times for British sport and I hope this time grassroot levels also capitalise on a new wave of sports enthusiasm.

Plan to turn GB into snowsport superpower

Britain aims to be one of the World's top 5 dominant powers in snowsports by 2030

 

Well that's the plan revealed today by British Ski Snowboard and the team behind making it a reality is some of the same team behind the success of British Cycling and Team Sky.

The UK’s national governing body has marked out a clear strategy working towards Great Britain challenging for world class and Olympic medals, not only in the Park and Pipe disciplines where they are already one of the leading nations, but in all skiing and snowboarding disciplines.

The first phase of the vision will involve following in the footsteps of GB Park and Pipe and putting in place a world-class coaching structure for each Olympic discipline. With these coaches, British Ski and Snowboard will develop the longer term strategic plans geared towards medal success. The plans will be based around identifying, supporting and retaining the best British snowsport talent and engaging them in sustainable, funded, high performance programmes aimed towards podium success at major international competitions and the Olympic Games.

Raising funds to bring this vision to reality will also be a key part of the strategy, with British Ski and Snowboard approaching fundraising in a number of unique ways. At the start of the season, the innovative British Snowsports Fund was launched. The Fund asks the UK’s recreational skiers and snowboarders to make a small donation to the country’s future Winter Olympians when they make a purchase with one of our confirmed industry partners. The scheme currently has 25 partners, including major travel companies and retailers. The British Snowsports Fund was launched alongside a new grant-making charity, the British Ski and Snowboard National Foundation, which will support young talented skiers and snowboarders as well as efforts to increase grassroots participation in the sports.

With British athletes already clinching five World Cup podiums, two X Games medals, and an Air + Style podium, 2016-17 has already proved a fruitful season for British Ski and Snowboard, particularly for the GB Park and Pipe team. And with the Alpine World Ski Championships already in full swing, and the Freestyle, Snowboard and Nordic World Championships on the horizon, there is still room for even more British snowsports success this season.

That means investment and performance programs will be set up in events Britain hasn't ever had a serious chance of a medal in like Ski Jumping, Alpine Snowboard, Moguls and Aerials.

The new plan aims to deliver progress over the coming decade and take Britain from a nation that needed 90 years to win its first Olympic medal on the snow and make it one capable of claiming up to 12 in a single go.

UK Sport reduced funding for Weightlifting, Table Tennis, Badminton, Fencing and Archery to absolute zero for the Tokyo 2020 cycle.

I'm not going to comment further about how ridiculous that is. A slap in the face to the men's foil and badminton team, especially.

Not so much if you were you were a native or African American! Anyway judging by your current POTUS you guys seem to be quite keen on tyrants these days with the possible exception of Chinese ones. In any event have a great day and take care with the celebrations given current circumstances.

    • Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever. 
    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup 
    • Strong teams advance from the groups, especially since there are now 48 teams playing at the World Cup, not 32. It's Italy's fault that they lost 0-3 and 1-4 to Norway.
