Eh, Australia didn't have much success in the swimming at this Olympics, which is where we usually get most of our gold medals. Plus our track cyclists aren't as good as they used to be so we missed medals there, in the rowing, the equestrian, field hockey and sailing.
If we don't finish top 10, it'll be the first time since 1988 in Seoul.
I expect the government will increase funding for 2020 after the lack of success in Rio.
