Full list of Team GB’s Olympic medals at Paris so far

Team GB has a total of 327 athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics across 26 sports – but can they bring home the gold?

Performance experts UK Sport have tipped Britain’s competitors to win between 50 and 70 medals in the games – so how are they getting on?

Here’s a look at all the nation’s medallists so far.

Gold medals

Tom McEwen, Ros Canter, and Laura Collett – Equestrian (team eventing)

The trio won Team GB their first gold medal of the summer on 29 July, fending off pressure from France to take the top spot in the equestrian team eventing.

A total of 15.8 penalties were incurred on the cross-country stage, making it tight at the top, but a clear round from McEwen, with one fence down from both Canter and Collett, was good enough to seal gold.

McEwen and Collett had been in the team that won gold in the same event at Tokyo 2020, along with Oliver Townend.

Tom Pidcock – Mountain biking (men’s cross-country)

The cyclist won gold hours after the equestrian team – and he did it in sensational fashion.

The 25-year-old fell nine places and 36 seconds behind leader, Frenchman Victor Koretzky, after his front tyre suffered a puncture, but produced a masterclass to claw his way back to the front.

In the final lap, Koretzky briefly retook first place, only for Pidcock to produce a daring overtake in the final moments before racing away to cross the line in first.

Nathan Hales – Shooting (men’s trap)

Chatham-born Hales didn’t only win Team GB’s third gold at Paris – he also set a new Olympic record.

The 28-year-old hit 48 of 50 targets in the trap final, compared with his nearest competitor’s 44.

Hales pumped his fist in the air and held his shotgun aloft as he was embraced by his coach.

The left-hander was making his Olympic debut, but is a three-time World Championship medallist.

The athlete, who is married to former GB Olympian and fellow shooter Charlotte Kerwood, showed few signs of nerves as he beat second placed Ying Qi of China and third placed Guatemalan Jean Pierre Brol Cardenas.

Silver medals

Anna Henderson – Cycling (women’s time trial)

The Briton survived the slippery and treacherous roads of a rainy Paris, which caused several riders to crash, to deliver Olympic silver.

She got the power down to clock a time of 41 minutes 10.7 seconds over the 32.4km course, one minute and 31 seconds down on Australian Grace Brown’s gold medal-winning ride.

The 25-year-old, who has twice broken her collarbone this season, said she “knew it was a good day” from about five minutes in – and she was certainly right.

Adam Peaty – Swimming (men’s 100m breaststroke)

The Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 champion came excruciatingly close to his third successive gold in three Olympic Games, finishing just 0.02 seconds behind Italy’s Nicolo Martinenghi.

But the 29-year-old, who came back to swimming after taking a mental health break from the sport, said he was proud of his performance, which saw him share silver with American Nic Fink after the pair both came in at 59.05 seconds.

“I’m not crying because I came second, I’m crying because it took so much to get here,” he told the BBC.

Tom Daley and Noah Williams – Diving (men’s synchronised 10m platform)

Daley claimed the fifth Olympic medal of his extraordinary diving career, having already won three bronzes and a silver.

He did it alongside partner Williams, who earned his first ever Olympic medal.

‘Surreal’ to win Olympic silver

After placing joint-second with Canada in the opening rounds, a strong third dive extended Daley and Williams’ lead and they consistently finished second in the remaining rounds.

30-year-old Daley considered retiring before this summer, having taken a two-year break from diving. Luckily, his son Robbie talked him into coming back for more.

Adam Burgess – Canoe slalom (men’s singles)

The British paddler had plenty of time to think before his go, being the ninth of 12 to compete.

But he set down a brilliant run of 96.84 to launch him into a gold medal position until the final challenger, French world silver medallist Nicolas Gestin, laid down a blazing 91.36 to claim gold.

It was a huge improvement on his agonising fourth finish three summers ago in Tokyo and earned Burgess his first ever Olympic medal.

“I had this image in my head of hugging Craig (Morris), my coach, at the finish line, and we’re all ugly crying at the bottom,” he said after the race.

“That’s exactly how it panned out.”

Matt Richards – Swimming (men’s 200m freestyle)

The 21-year-old defied being in an outside lane to claim Olympic silver – but he missed out on gold by an agonising two-hundredths of a second.

The odds were against the Olympic debutant from lane one after he qualified seventh fastest in the semi-finals, but his impressive performance could only be topped by Romanian sensation David Popovici.

Richards revealed he thought he’d just about snatched gold when the race finished.

“I thought I had got it,” the swimmer told the BBC. “It felt as if I had touched it first. The time says differently. It is not a sport that is up for debate, it is black and white.

“I can’t be too disappointed with that.”

Bronze medals

Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen – Diving (women’s synchronised 3m springboard)

Not only did Harper and Mew Jensen win their first Olympic medals and Team GB’s first of the games – they became Team GB’s first female diving medallists in 64 years.

The pair capitalised on a poor mistake by the Australian divers to move from fourth to third with an impressive final dive.

Mew Jensen: ‘It was terrifying’

They will always have their place in British history for that – but also for being the first Britons to collect medals on the opening day of an Olympics in 20 years.

Kimberley Woods – Canoe slalom (women’s kayak)

The 28-year-old, who three summers ago in Tokyo was visibly distraught after incurring 56 seconds worth of penalties for a bottom finish in her maiden Olympic final, put the past behind her when she came third in Paris.

She had an agonising wait for confirmation after her performance, as there was just one competitor left who could knock her off the podium: defending champion Ricarda Funk, the fastest finisher from the afternoon’s semis.

Woods: ‘It’s not just me behind this medal’

Luckily for Woods, the German made a mistake at the bottom of the course and finished 11th in 149.08, ensuring the Team GB star’s 98.94 was good enough for her first Olympic medal.

Laura Collett – Equestrian (individual eventing)

Collett collected her individual bronze medal on Lordships Graffalo just hours after winning gold in team eventing.

It was a close call between her and GB teammate Tom McEwen in the individual competition, with just 2.7 penalties separating them in third and fourth place.

The 34-year-old said she was thrilled with the individual accolade, after missing out on one in Tokyo.

“Not many people get to go to one Olympic games and try to win a medal, I was lucky enough to go to two, so I’m relieved I managed to pull it off,” she said.
