Answer was we could.

Some amazing, expected and unexpected, hard fought medals later the endscore is a whopping 36 medals! 10 Gold, 12 Silver and 14 Bronze, for a 7th place in the medal table. The total number and ranking in the medal table are a new national record and without the UK we were the highest ranked EU country, though France, Germany and Italy had the same amount of Gold. I don’t think this could’ve gone any better.

All the medals and all the athletes have been great, but especially, speaking of my country, I loved those that were unexpected, like the Silvers of Nageeye on the marathon and the mixed-team archers, those that were claimed by complete domination like the women’s hockey, those that got ultimate revenge like Van Vleuten in track cycling and Badloe in sailing and those that rose above themselves and achieved something unique like Hassan in athletics and Lavreysen in track cycling.

On to Beijing and Paris!

You were the highest ranked EU country no need to bring outsiders into the equation, they had their chance to compete for the EU medal tally and  instead chose  brexit!!, but the sly poms will still claim to be Europe's top olympic country.
