Team GB’s athletes are primed and ready to compete in the Paris Olympics 2024.

Thousands of sportsmen and women have descended on the French capital in readiness for the event, which officially gets under way on Friday 26 July.

Thomas Bach, the International Olympic Committee President, said: “You can also feel, see, hear the excitement growing, not only in Paris but all of France.

“More than six million people lined the streets of France to watch the Olympic flame.

“What commitment… Everybody is excited about the Games and longing for the moment it finally starts.”

Great Britain has 327 athletes competing across 24 sports, with the youngest 16-year-old skateboarder Sky Brown and the oldest 57-year-old Carl Hester in dressage.

The team comprises 169 veterans of the Olympic Games and 74 former medallists including 33 Olympic champions.

Remarkably, there are also 18 athletes who competed at London 2012 who will be returning to the Games 12 years later.

We take a look at who will be taking part on behalf of Team GB.

Who are the most likely athletes to win medals?

UK Sport, the high performance sport agency, is hoping Team GB will bring back between 50 and 70 medals this year from Paris.

Previously, Team GB has won 51 (Beijing 2008), 65 (London 2012), 67 (Rio 2016) and 64 (Tokyo 2020) medals, finishing fourth in the Tokyo 2020 medal table with 22 gold, 20 silver and 22 bronze medals.

Dr Kate Baker, UK Sport Director of Performance said: “GB currently boasts 41 current world champions in Olympic disciplines and a further 61 in Paralympic disciplines, highlighting the immense talent across our sports.

“We want to continue our streak of top five Olympic medal table finishes, but that won’t be easy.”

GB medal hopes are being pinned on runner Keely Hodgkinson who has odds of 2/5 with bookmakers William Hill to win gold in the 800m event.

Fellow track athlete Matthew Hudson-Smith has odds of 5/4 to bring back gold from the men’s 400m.

And former Olympic champion swimmer Adam Peaty is 11/10 to take the top spot in the Men’s 100m breaststroke.

Bet 365 has odds of 8/15 that team GB’s gold meal haul will exceed 15.

On the track, it has picked out triathlete Alex Yee, the mixed relay team, Ben Pattison in the men’s 800m, Amber Anning in the women’s 400m, Keely Hodgkinson in the women’s 800m, Laura Muir in the women’s 1500m and Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the heptathlon as potential contenders.

In cycling, Tom Pidcock and Bethany Shriever have been name dropped.

Super heavyweight Delicious Orie and welterweight Rosie Eccles are medal favourites in boxing.

And Kate French and Joseph Chong are carrying gold hopes in the modern pentathlon for team GB, according to Bet365.

The Games officially launch on Friday 26 July, when the opening ceremony is held with a city-wide event encompassing iconic parts of Paris and the River Seine.
