The Rio Olympics will go down as the greatest Games for Team GB, who finished second in the medal table, behind the US but with one more gold than China. The total of 67 medals was an amazing two more than the squad managed at London 2012.

Once again it was the UK's track cyclists who led the way, with every single member of the team winning at least one medal to return with a total of 11. Team GB's rowers took home five medals, three gold and two silver, although they had been set a minimum target of six, and there were seven for the track and field team, ranging from a bronze for hammer thrower Sophie Hitchon to Mo Farah's double triumph in the 5,000m and 10,000m.
