Team GB have won more medals in Rio than they have for over a century
Team GB's Most Successful Games In A Century
Great Britain and Northern Ireland achieves a historic 2nd place in the Olympic medal table. They have won more medals in more sports than when they staged the Games in London 4 years ago. Medals won across more sports (19) than at London 2012 (17) and gold medals won in more sports (15) than by any other nation at the Rio Games.
They’ve finished second in the Rio 2016 medal table above China for the first time ever. Joe Joyce’s silver in the super-heavyweight boxing was the 700th Olympic Paralympic medal since lottery funding started in 1997 after the scant success in Atlanta when Britain won only one gold and medals in six sports!
In Rio we had 130 Olympic medallists (up from 114 in London), including a record 59 female medallists! Kate Richardson-Walsh the Olympic hockey champion and captain carried the union flag for Team GB at the closing ceremony.
London 2012 set the bar extremely high for the Olympics. Widely thought as the greatest games ever and spectacular success for Team GB. Rio had a lot to live up too, with organisers struggling at times but overall the South American carnival culture's ensured a friendly and entertaining games.
