Petition A public holiday if Team GB finish above China in the medals team at Rio 2016

If Team GB finish above China in the medals table, we should have a day's public holiday in the UK to celebrate this.

3rd place is the highest Team GB has ever finished an Olympic Games on foreign soil (1st in London 1908), so if we can beat the Chinese and finish second this would be crazy.
