Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

It's got to be the worst GB Men's athletics team ever
Just one bronze in Montreal 1976 across both sexes. Was that Brendan Foster?

We've got 5 medals so far and that compares with recent games (starting 1988) 8, 6, 6 (no golds), 6, 4, 8, 6, 7 and we only usually get 1 or 2 golds. Still some events to come but it won't be too far off our usual showing, perhaps a bit down. Feels like we win more but we don't.

How many of the 5 are men ?

Think he's just on about the men though, who only have 1 relay medal to show for it so far. Our women have saved us.

No gold is slightly disappointing though.

No, those figures are across the team. We only had one man win athletics medals in Rio, just happened to be Mo Farah who won 2x golds.

Greg Rutherford got bronze too.

I get your point, that we've not massively underachieved but we've a poor men's team at the moment. The 400metres summed it up for me, when we didn't even have someone fast enough to qualify for the Olympics.
