One more medal overall though. UK Sport measure performance on raw medal count, they don't care much for the colour given there can be such a fine line between gold and silver. They targeted 50-70 medals so we're on the stronger end of the performance scale with 65.
Also, really important is they wanted a broader coverage in medals across different sports, and they have achieved that in a big way. By my count, Team GB have medals in 23 different sporting categories, the broadest spread of any nation ever. In Tokyo they had medals in 18 different sports. We compete at a high level in nearly everything, and I think that diversity is the best thing about our performance.

The best way I can describe Kabbadi is that it is like a mix between tag/tig and British Bulldog.
