I can't remember, is that actually better than Tokyo? Makes me imagine what a great atmosphere there'd surely be at a proper Tokyo Olympics, one with crowds

I think it was a little down. Yes, just checked Japan got 27 gold and t8 total at Tokyo. Still, a great result.

You did bump Aus from fourth on the table, of course, but we can forgive you for that.

Great job Japan. And great job here @Palette86!

@yoshiAt TOKYO 2020ne, we earned 58 medals;G 27, S 14 and B 17. 58 medals in total. If Tokyo 2020 had been in success, we could have won more medals. I wanted to see more medals in ballgames, water sports, and athletics this time.

@Sir RolsThank you!
