I've been amused by the UK's Commonwealth games coverage, especially the hype around England winning medals in the pool. All congratulations go to the athletes for being at the peak of their game, but headlines about beating the Aussies in their own backyard etc etc seem to be a little off the mark.

Looks like Australia has roughly double the amount of medals of 2nd placed England, and Gold's are nearly 3 times the amount.
