Did it work?
Yes... GB will play India in the Qtrs
Belgium play the Argies and the Dutch will play Aussies...

Belgium and GB both knew that a draw would give them an easier draw..

When there was a Team GB for the 2012 Olympics, it was only English and Welsh players iirc.

San Marino has won two medals so far, whereas India has only one, despite India having more than 40,000 times the population of San Marino.

Dina Asher-Smith is our best hope, and we might pick up some relay medals.

India are guaranteed a boxing medal, but even so for a country with India’s population you would expect more medals.

That’s correct. Bangladesh have only sent 6 competitors to Tokyo and the most they have ever sent is 7
