Gold medals: 12
Tom Pidcock
How he did it: It looked as though Pidcock would not be able to retain the Olympic title he first won in Tokyo when he suffered a puncture on lap three. He recovered in remarkable style, catching the leaders and overtaking France’s Victor Koretzky late in the race for victory.
Laura Collett, Tom McEwen and Ros Canter
How they did it: Great Britain retained the team eventing title they won in Tokyo to win Team GB’s first gold medal at Paris 2024. Collett, McEwen and Canter ended the three-day competition with 91.30 penalties to finish a commanding 12.3 clear of host nation France, while Japan took bronze.
Nathan Hales
How he did it: Who knew we would all be invested in shooting on a Tuesday afternoon in July? Hales was the reason for that as he won gold for Team GB, setting a new Olympic record of 48 (out of 50) in the process. It comes just a year after he set a new world record of 49 out of 50.
Matt Richards, James Guy, Tom Dean and Duncan Scott
Swimming – men’s 4x200m freestyle relay final
How they did it: Just as they did in Tokyo, GB’s 4x200m freestyle swimming team struck gold with a dominant display in the pool. Richards, Guy, Dean and Scott reunited to triumph ahead of the USA in second and Australia in third.
Lauren Henry, Lola Anderson, Hannah Scott and Georgina Brayshaw
Rowing – women’s quadruple sculls
How they did it: The GB quartet were behind for most of the race, then pulled through for a dramatic photo finish with the Netherlands. They edged ahead when it counted most to claim gold just 15 minutes after Yee’s triathlon victory.
Alex Yee
How he did it: Yee’s sensational sprint finish provided a thrilling end to the men’s triathlon as he reeled in New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde in the closing stages of the final-leg run. Yee finished in one hour 43 minutes 33 seconds, just six seconds ahead of Wilde.
Imogen Grant and Emily Craig
Rowing – women’s double sculls
How they did it: After missing the podium by just 0.1 seconds in Tokyo three years ago, Grant and Craig are now Olympic champions. In a dominant performance, they took the lead at the 500m mark of the 2,000m race and pulled away to win by almost a length from Romania and Greece.
Bryony Page
How she did it: Page took Great Britain’s first trampoline Olympic gold to complete her set of a medal of every colour, after silver at Rio 2016 and bronze at Tokyo 2020. She secured the ultimate prize in Paris with 56.480 points and looked in disbelief when her score beat Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya, who took silver, with Canada’s Sophiane Methot in bronze.
Ben Maher, Harry Charles and Scott Brash
How they did it: The British trio of Maher, Charles and Brash picked up just two time penalties to top the standings at the stunning Chateau de Versailles, with the United States second.
Sholto Carnegie, Rory Gibbs, Morgan Bolding, Jacob Dawson, Charlie Elwes, Tom Digby, James Rudkin, Tom Ford and cox Harry Brightmore
How they did it: GB’s men’s eight topped the podium in a thrilling race, trading the lead with the Netherlands before surging ahead at the halfway stage and winning by 1.08 seconds.
Emma Finucane, Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant
How they did it: In some style. The trio of Finucane, Capewell and Marchant set a new world record every time they took to the track on Monday, managing the feat twice in qualifying before blowing New Zealand away in the final.
Keely Hodgkinson
How she did it: Having finished second at successive World Championships after claiming a stunning silver on her Olympic debut as a teenager in Tokyo three years ago, this was Hodgkinson’s golden moment. The 22-year-old produced a dominant performance to beat Ethiopia’s Tsige Duguma to victory.
Silver medals: 15
Anna Henderson
How she did it: Grace Brown took the lead from Henderson as the Australian finished more than a minute and a half quicker. But the final rider, the United States’ world champion Chloe Dygert, was unable to better Henderson’s time so the Briton claimed silver by less than one second.
Adam Peaty
Swimming – men’s 100m breaststroke
How he did it: A tearful Peaty had to settle for Olympic silver as Italy’s Nicolo Martinenghi snatched a shock gold by 0.02 seconds. Silver still caps a remarkable turnaround for Peaty, who had taken a break from the sport after issues with alcoholism and his mental health since his last gold in Tokyo.
Tom Daley and Noah Williams
Diving – men’s synchronised 10m platform
How they did it: Daley won his fifth Olympic medal and Williams his first as they finished second behind China’s Lian Junjie and Yang Hao. Daley, 30, effectively retired from diving after winning synchronised 10m platform gold at the Tokyo Games, but was persuaded to return to the sport by his son Robbie.
Adam Burgess
How he did it: The 32-year-old qualified fourth fastest with a clean semi-final performance and produced another impressive run in the final to win his first Olympic medal, having missed out on the podium by 0.16 seconds in Tokyo.
Matt Richards
Swimming – men’s 200m freestyle
How he did it: Richards missed out on a stunning Olympic gold by two hundredths of a second but took a thrilling silver behind David Popovici of Romania.
Kieran Reilly
How he did it: Reilly was the final rider to go and trailed Argentina’s Jose Torres Gil and France’s Anthony Jeanjean before his second run. The 23-year-old put in a superb run to surpass Jeanjean and claim silver.
Helen Glover, Esme Booth, Sam Redgrave and Rebecca Shorten
How they did it: An agonisingly close race, the boat of mother-of-three Helen Glover, Esme Booth, Sam Redgrave and Rebecca Shorten was neck and neck with the Netherlands for the final 500m of the 2,000m race, eventually edged out on the line by 0.18 seconds. Glover claimed her third Olympic medal aged 38, having retired from rowing twice previously.
Oliver Wynne-Griffith and Tom George
How they did it: Wynne-Griffith, from Wales, and George, of England, led for the majority of the race and looked set for gold but were unable to hold off the dynamic charge of Croatia’s Sinkovic brothers, who went ahead in the closing 20m and won by just 0.45 seconds.
Ben Proud
Swimming – men’s 50m freestyle
How they did it: In the shortest swimming event of the Games, Ben Proud came within a fingernail of taking gold in a thrilling final, finishing just behind Australia’s Cameron McEvoy.
Duncan Scott
Swimming – Men’s 200m individual medley
How they did it: France’s Leon Marchand won a sensational fourth Olympic gold in the Paris pool, beating Duncan Scott into second place.
With French President Emmanuel Macron in the crowd, home superstar Marchand led from the start of the 200m medley to cap a sensational week for the 22-year-old.
Scott, 27, was second behind the Frenchman – just as he was at last year’s World Championships – and took silver for the sixth time in his career, and an eighth Olympic medal overall.
Amber Rutter
How they did it: Great Britain’s Amber Rutter had to settle for silver in a dramatic and controversial final of the women’s skeet shooting.
The 26-year-old finished in a tie of 55 shots out of 60 targets with Chile’s Francisca Crovetto Chadid.
They went to a shoot-off and were still tied after three rounds but, in a moment of contention, Rutter was called to have missed a shot which slow motion replays appeared to show she hit.
The call stood and Crovetto Chadid, 34, took both her next shots to make history and clinch her country’s first ever shooting gold medal.
Tommy Fleetwood
How they did it: Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood had to settle for Olympic silver in the men’s golf after falling agonisingly short of American world number one Scottie Scheffler in an enthralling finale.
On an exciting final day in Paris, Fleetwood was tied with Scheffler on 19 under walking on to the 17th hole.
But a bogey after missing the green and over-hitting a chip left him trailing Scheffler going down the last.
The 33-year-old Englishman also overhit an approach on the 18th as he attacked, settling for a par which secured the silver medal.
Joe Clarke
How they did it: Joe Clarke was aiming for Olympic redemption after being overlooked for the Tokyo 2020 team and stormed through to make the final in Paris.
But the 31-year-old started slower than his previous races and was unable to make up the gap on New Zealand’s Finn Butcher.
Jack Carlin, Ed Lowe and Hamish Turnbull
How they did it: After beating Germany to qualify for the final, they came up against a supreme Netherlands trio in the gold medal race – and had to settle for second place, as the Dutch set a new world record.
Josh Kerr
How he did it: All eyes were on Kerr and rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen before the race, but it was the USA’s Cole Hocker who stunned the field to take gold, leaving the British runner with silver and Norway’s Ingebrigtsen outside of the medal positions altogether.
Bronze medals: 18
Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen
Diving – women’s synchronised 3m springboard
How they did it: The British pair moved from fourth to third with an excellent final dive. A horrible mistake on Australia’s final dive meant they failed to overhaul Harper and Mew Jensen, who claimed GB’s first opening day medal since 2004.
Kimberley Woods
How she did it: In a dramatic final, Woods was holding on to third place in the standings with only reigning Olympic champion Ricarda Funk to run. But when Germany’s Funk clipped a gate and picked up a 50-second penalty, the bronze was secured for 28-year-old Woods and Team GB.
Laura Collett
Equestrian – individual eventing
How she did it: Collett followed up her team eventing gold with an individual eventing bronze later the same day after a penalty-free jumping round.
Beth Potter
How she did it: After uncertainty over whether the race would go ahead because of poor water quality in the river Seine, Potter held on to third place for her first Olympic medal. France’s Cassandre Beaugrand took gold to the delight of the home crowd, with Switzerland’s Julie Derron winning silver.
Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson
Diving – women’s synchronised 10m platform
How they did it: Spendolini-Sirieix and Toulson’s superb final dive lifted them up from fourth to the medal places. They scored 304.38 points from their five dives, finishing behind China and North Korea.
Oli Wilkes, David Ambler, Matt Aldridge and Freddie Davidson
How they did it: The men’s four of Oli Wilkes, David Ambler, Matt Aldridge and Freddie Davidson – all Olympic debutants – started slowly but fought back hard to go past Italy and take the bronze, with the USA claiming gold.
Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Becky Wilde
Rowing – women’s double sculls
How they did it: Britain’s Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Becky Wilde secured an emotional bronze, making a strong start before being overtaken by eventual champions New Zealand and silver medallists Romania, but digging deep to hold off the Netherlands.
Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding
Diving – men’s synchronised 3m springboard
How they did it: Laugher and Harding only began working together in 2021 but have won European, Commonwealth, world and now Olympic medals. Having saved their most difficult two dives until the final rounds to keep themselves in contention, the pair celebrated wildly after finishing behind China and Mexico.
Heidi Long, Rowan McKellar, Holly Dunford, Emily Ford, Lauren Irwin, Eve Stewart, Harriet Taylor, Annie Campbell-Orde and cox Henry Fieldman
How they did it: This bronze is only Britain’s second in the women’s eights after their silver at the Rio Olympics in 2016. The team, coxed by Henry Fieldman, battled all the way to the line to finish behind champions Romania.
Emma Wilson
Sailing – women’s IQFoil windsurfing
How she did it: Wilson, who won bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Games, was guaranteed a windsurfing medal after dominating the opening series in Marseille, but had to settle for bronze in the final as Italy’s Marta Maggetti won gold and Israel’s Sharon Kantor took silver.
Lottie Fry, Becky Moody and Carl Hester
How they did it: Great Britain’s dressage riders won team bronze in Paris as seven-time Olympian Carl Hester, Lottie Fry and Becky Moody scored a combined 232.492% to place behind gold medallists Germany and Denmark in silver on the podium at Chateau de Versailles.
Jake Jarman
How they did it: Jake Jarman took bronze in the men’s floor final to win the nation’s first artistic gymnastics medal of the Paris Olympics.
Five days after helping GB to an agonising fourth-place finish in the team event, Jarman made sure he would be going home with a medal on his Olympic debut with a routine that scored 14.933.
Samuel Reardon, Laviai Nielsen, Alex Haydock-Wilson and Amber Anning
Athletics – 4x400m mixed relay
How they did it: Great Britain clinched Olympic mixed 4x400m relay bronze as Femke Bol anchored the Netherlands to a sensational gold.
Amber Anning held on to third position as the British team finished in a national record time of three minutes 08.01 seconds at the Stade de France.
Lottie Fry
Equestrian – individual dressage
How she did it: Fry, on stallion Glamourdale, scored 88.971% as Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl successfully defended her Olympic title. The podium marks a third Olympic medal for Fry, who made her debut in Tokyo and won team bronze in Paris the day before.
Harry Hepworth
How they did it: Harry Hepworth became the first British man to win an Olympic vault medal with bronze in a high-quality final in Paris.
Beth Potter, Alex Yee, Sam Dickinson and Georgia Taylor-Brown
How they did it: In a captivating race around Paris, the GB team dominated right up until the final leg, in which Beth Potter was overtaken during the cycling. Potter did briefly retake the lead but a dramatic photo finish initially resulted in GB announced as silver medallists, before being downgraded to bronze.
Kimberley Woods
How they did it: Reigning world champion Woods, 28, started the final strongly but had difficulty at the final gate and lost momentum.
While Woods came over the line fourth, she nicked a bronze after Germany’s Elena Lilik was disqualified for a fault earlier in the race.
Sky Brown
How she did it: Three years on from winning Olympic bronze aged only 13, Brown again finished third in the women’s park final – an achievement made all the more remarkable having dislocated her shoulder just days before travelling to Paris for the Games.
