Original Message
Team GB has exceeded even the most optimistic medal expectations at the 2012 Olympics, having won 25 golds and 52 overall as of Thursday evening. That's good for third on the official medal count behind the United States and China.
But Great Britain does lead on another medal count, albeit a much more inglorious one. Athletes and teams from Team GB lead a tally of countries with the most last-three finishes. Overall, the Brits have eight last-place finishes, 11 second-to-last finishes and 12 third-to-last finishes. Their total of 31 is eight more than its next closest competitor, Ukraine.
