- BOA chief executive Andy Anson praises 65-medal tally
- ‘Eighteen sports represented on medal table is brilliant’
Britain’s performance at the Paris Olympics was incredible and should be celebrated, despite falling from fourth in the medal table in Tokyo to seventh. That was the bullish message emanating from Team GB house after an extraordinary 16 days of action came to an end on Sunday.
While there were only 14 gold medals for Team GB in Paris – the lowest since Athens in 2004 – senior officials stressed that the overall tally of 65 medals was behind only the USA and China and so should be regarded as a success.
