Equal

That's it, the "2020" Tokyo Olympics are over, except for the closing ceremony. Team GB have finished fourth on the medals table with a haul equal to that of the London 2012 games. This was far better than expected. Well done to all who won a medal but also congratulations to all the other competitors for being good enough to take part in Tokyo, and giving their all in their chosen sports.

There has been a lot of discussion regarding the TV coverage in the UK, that the average viewer did not get to experience the games as previously. UK and Europe broadcasting rights had been purchased by an American broadcast company, who put the best coverage behind a pay wall on their fledgling streaming service and allegedly sold inferior secondary broadcast rights to the likes of the BBC. The other criticism being the claim timings of events were scheduled to suit US viewers. Whether these claims are true I cannot say, however the UK government is said to be examining if the list of sporting events that must be broadcast on a free to view basis needs to be expanded, so they are widely available regardless of income. We shall see if this happens I guess but I'm not holding my breath LOL.
