Welsh athletes have achieved a record Olympics medal haul in Paris as part of Team GB’s return.

The Welsh contingent will head back from France with a total of 13 medals – three golds, three silvers and seven bronze.

The medal haul beats the tally of 10 achieved at Rio 2016 which was made up of four golds and six silvers.

The Games in Brazil remain officially Wales’ most successful Olympics because of the number of golds won.

In Tokyo three years ago, Welsh athletes returned with eight medals – three gold, three silver and two bronze.

In Paris, rowing and cycling were the most successful sports for Welsh athletes, with five podium positions coming in each of those sports.

There were also two swimming medals, from Matt Richards, and an athletics relay bronze for sprinter Jeremiah Azu.

There were some notable individual efforts, with sprint cyclist Emma Finucane becoming the first Welsh athlete to win three medals – a gold and two bronze – at one Olympics in her debut Games.

The 21-year-old from Carmarthen also became the first British woman since athlete Mary Rand to take a hat-trick of podium finishes at a single Games.

Finucane’s fellow track cyclist Elinor Barker became the first Welsh woman to win four Olympic medals in her career, with a silver and bronze in Paris adding to team pursuit gold and silver in Rio and Tokyo respectively.

Finucane claimed two individual medals and Richards achieved a solo silver, with the rest of the Welsh podium finishes coming in team events.
