These 3 posts are really helpful. It'd be great to see one for Australia as well. A number cross over thats for sure.
Sorry I haven't commented on all 3.

If you see any medals tomorrow try and remember the colour combinations so you can see where he was and what he was doing.
Us oldies like the newbies standing, looking and listening to what is happening.
