Despite the achievements of Baxter, the curlers and Alex Coomber, the skeleton bronze medallist, Clegg conceded that 'Team GB' had suffered "mixed results" here and explained that "serious questions" would be raised by the BOA about under-performing athletes.
Every result will be evaluated and, though he would name no sports, it seems obvious from the performances here that events like the bobsleigh and biathlon will have their backing significantly reduced.
Still, Clegg had one final message for the critics of the team, which had come with a late run of success to collect three medals in the last five days of competition and even finished above Sweden in the final medals table.
"We have been subject to some hostile press and coverage and that perhaps makes the success even sweeter," he said.
