Oops, I missed out a 'd in my 'you'd've'. But yeah, pretty much what @avclub-c715b7f9c127a03df75863d57da84c6c:disqus said - there's been a lot of 'we' and 'our' from the commentators (I'm particularly recalling the Men's rowing four going over the line to 'we have done it, we have done it and we have done it in style'…

Remember when the UK's 19 in Beijing seemed like an amazing quantity that we'd never manage again and London was bound to be a let-down? Ahhh.
