We’re into the final weekend of the Olympics, and there’s always going to be that bittersweet ending to the two week spectacle of sports. All the years of build up and preparation for the athletes, so much joy for the medallists, no doubt mixed with a tinge of missed opportunity for those walking away with a silver, but that can be a massive drive to push on to the next world championship, the next four years to reach the 2028 Olympics in LA.
