|Yes.  The performance by Great Britain's teams were abysmal.  They were eliminated in the quarterfinals in soccer, the national sport.  They did not even make the tournament round in basketball, after going 1-5 in the qualifying matches.  In volleyball, Great Britain's team lost every single match and was eliminated.

Australia failed to qualify for either soccer event. This was their first time attempting to qualify out of the Asian Zone instead of the significantly weaker Oceanic Zone, so this may have been a factor. They will, however, send teams in most other team sports, since they qualify from the Oceanic Zone in those.  

Increasingly atheistic Australia underachieved in team sports also.  It failed to qualify for men's or women's soccer. How pathetic is that?

In women's basketball, France won Group B with a 5-0 record, while Australia finished 4-1 in the same group. Great Britain is 0-5. France and Australia won their quarterfinals. France will face Russia in the semifinals while Australia will face the United States.
