This is the medal table from the Sydney Morning Herald paper and the hilarious thing is that it was just shown in the TV news with Germany ahead of GB (even with less golds and less in total) and the presenter said absolutely nothing about it despite them gloating just a couple of days ago when Australia was about five places ahead of us - it is quite entertaining
