No doubt at the conclusion we'll have Cameron claiming it's the tories' investment in sports that was responsible for TeamGB's success and to further incentivise young athletes for Rio 2016, Gove will announce a further round of cuts to schools sports funding.

Can't get too excited about these Games.
