Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

As much as I love watching the olympics, the backstory behind every medal was grating. Every single one followed by tale of 'overcomming adversery' or something. Sacrifices, injuries/poor health/operations, beravement, lockdown, 'shedding blood, sweat and tears' etc...basicaly every day life that we all go through.
But that aside, I loved every minute of this olympics like I always do. Well done team GB.
The media love this shite though. I remember when my sister got her judo black belt, the local newspaper wanted to do a story because she was the first woman to get it. When the article came out, we read about how she "overcame a life threatening illness" to become a black belt. She'd had her appendix out the previous year.
 
It's a nice sentiment, but I suspect this is the year of Peaty, maybe Scott.

Well now that the Olympics have finished, I guess the house in the village that has been flying the Olympic flag upside down all the way through, will now take it down !

What is it with the British that dont know the right way up with flags ?!

They keep draping them over their shoulders the wrong way up.
