How's Finland's media reacted to this? That's really bad for a country with a historically strong Olympic tradition. Mostly like "what the hell happened to us?" Everyone knew beforehand we wouldn't be getting a lot of medals, but getting none since we first competed in 1908 is of course scandalous. The media haven't been out with their pitchforks too much, because nobody has a clue how to go forward.

UK came third in total medals but too often failed to turn them into Golds. Although we robbed by some blatantly corrupt judging in the boxing and shooting  www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/cy0npjxw7k1oAustralia had an unbelievable Olympics, same with New Zealand and the Netherlands relative their population. It's mad that despite how well Australia did, all anyone seems to be talking about is that woman who did the breakdancing   |
