Team GB added 65 medals to their Olympics haul this year

Team GB added 65 medals to their Olympics haul this year, beating their Tokyo total by one and creating moments that will go down in Olympics history.

But where did all these medals come from across Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

We have taken a deep dive into the stats to find out which nations and regions produced the most medal-winners this year, and which sports they conquered.

So - which parts of Team GB triumphed, and which struggled to get off the starting blocks?

As with our analysis of Team GB medals won between 1896 and 2020, we've followed the official Olympics rules where a team medal only counts once.

To calculate regional success, we've split the medal by the number in the team. So, each person of a four-person relay wins 0.25 of a medal for their region.

Each athlete's region or nation has been determined by their place of birth.

Capital gains

Historically, London has topped the Team GB medals table, and Paris 2024 was no different.

The region won 1.58 golds medals, 2.45 silver and 4.86 bronze.

Across the board, Team GB won the fewest gold medals since Athens in 2004.

However, athletes such as 19-year-old climber Toby Roberts and trap shooter Nathan Halesmeant the South East alone would have come 20th in the official Olympics medal table, with 3.41 golds.
