Team GB Maintains Olympic Medal Haul Standard

With the dust now settled on Team GB's Tokyo Olympics campaign, this infographic compares the overall performance with past Games. Team GB chief, Mark England, has hailed the medal haul of 65 - including 22 golds - as "the greatest achievement in British Olympic history". England said: “For this team to deliver 65 medals is absolutely extraordinary,” adding “The team has made history on the back of the most complex, challenging and most difficult environments that we will ever face, certainly in my lifetime. And I can say that because I’ve been involved in five or six summer Games.”

With the young average age of the team also adding to the weight of the achievement, England is optimistic about the Paris games in three years time: “We have had 16 fourth places in Tokyo...This is a very young team. It’s a very talented team. And it’s a team that I’m absolutely confident will go to Paris in less than three years and do exceptionally well.”
