It's been a great Olympics even without the crowds. I was a bit dubious about staging them through this pandemic, but, well done Japan, It's been great.

Three typhoons are heading across Japan today so I hope the closing ceremony isn't too badly affected. I was totally against the games but really enjoyed watching them. I, and most of the population, still haven't even been vaccinated. Money was put before the health of the people which is unforgivable.
I hope Japan get offered a chance to do it again properly in 2032 or 2036.

Jason Kenny's win was crazy, well done.
7 gold meals and 12 between husband and wife!
Could see Dame and Sir Kenny at the next honours list.

It certainly has. Dread to think how much it's cost them though, especially with no attendance money
Great games overall.
They will just bring out another Nintendo machine, that should cover it.

As Australia is also now part of Asia i dont believe under the rules Asia can hold the games in 2036 it will either go to Europe or one off the north or south american countries.

That's big money isn't it.
It's not all about the revenue (obviously that helps), it's all about what the games leave behind also. Take London 2012, Stratford was a run down area before the Olympic Village was built, now look at it, it's a trendy place these days. We got it spot on, all the venues are still being used 9 years later. The public has access to World class sporting facillities as well as the Olympion accomidation now turned into affordable homes (as affordable as London can be).
Most of the Athens Olympic venues have been left to rot which is shocking.

We seem to pull it out of the bag every Olympics. When you compare populations, it's just crazy how we do it. The one dampner on it, our track and field is pretty weak.

There's a star man, playing on the right ⭐️🦐
Not saying we did great and no golds was disappointing, but ….
We lost probably 3 guaranteed medals with Dina Asher Smith and Katerina Johnson Thompson’s injuries. Less likely but also possible podium finishes disappeared with Adam Gemili (injured) and Zharnel Hughes (false start). We narrowly missed out on gold in the men’s 100m relay.
We still got 6 medals in Tokyo vs 7 in Rio (and the two golds there were both won by Mo Farah).
I’d say if we underachieved anywhere it was the rowing where we’re usually very strong. But overall, Team GB did amazing. What an Olympics. My favourite event was probably the track cycling.
