Netherlands had a slow start for the first four days. But looking into it, it looks like this has been the norm for all Olympics since 2000, so technically we were still 'on schedule'. Today however, I wake up to a true landslide of medals. Seven (7!) new medals on day five. Gold, two silver and bronze in Rowing, and Gold, silver and bronze in cycling. Seven medals in a day matches the Dutch record for most medals in a day which has stood since 1928. There can even be more today as well, with a bit of luck there'll be two bronze medals in Judo as well later today.

EDIT: One of the two Judo medals, so score today is 8, a new Dutch record.
