What is your definition of bad exactly? In Beijing GB got 19 golds - their second best Olympic performance up til then.

In Atlanta GB got 1 gold; After 1920 and before 2000 GB never got more than 10 golds in a single Olympics.

I class Beijing as absolutely our best Olympic performance by far (before 2012), 1908 was a completely different era and home advantage and being able to field people in all events really was a game changer. Unlike now.
