I am slightly suspicious that I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much

After all the fuss that has been made about how successful we have been
I would be interested* to see how our increase in medals compares with the average increase, usually achieved by the host nation.

*Well, not that interested.

Slightly better
The last two host nations had a just under a 50% increase on their previous performance. We had just over.

That's based on Golds. I don't know about overall.

The head of UK Athletics set a target of 8 track and field medals and we only got 6
Although 4 were gold, which most people seem to think makes up for it.

It definitely helped.
But equally I loved being at the Mens 50K Walk on Saturday and we didn't feature anywhere near the front of that.
