Fantasy Team GB: The Result

And the last day of the games is upon us, and the result has been decided. With only one pick each left (the same pick), it is time to announce that the winner of the Fantasy Team GB 2012 Olympics is... ME! On the last day of events I pulled it back from 2 points behind to go 1 point ahead thanks to Mo Farah's amazing double and Tom Daley's noteworthy bronze. Good game Mr Heffernan, but, this time at least, the 'expert' has come out on top. The most impressive thing is though, Team GB have won more Golds than we got points. Pretty impressive work there from team GB, well done everyone.

Team GB flop of the games -  Rhythmic Gymnastics. This is the only part of the team that did not qualify outright for the games. They only got into the games because of an appeal to the BOA. If they don't come dead last, I'll be amazed. - Finished 12th... out of 12
