The chair of UK Sport, Katherine Grainger, has hailed Britain’s medal tally at the Paris Olympics but admitted “there’s a bit of work to do” to improve on their gold count.
Team GB met the Olympic funding agency’s target of 50 to 70 medals, winning 65, one more than their final tally in Tokyo three years ago. But 14 gold medals, their worst return in 20 years, meant the British team finished seventh in the table, dropping three spots from the previous Games.
