Great Britain ended the Paris 2024 Olympics with 65 medals, matching their London 2012 haul but finishing seventh in the medal table, their lowest position since 2004. Despite being only surpassed by the USA and China in total medals, Team GB secured only 14 golds, compared to 22 in Tokyo. Chief Executive of the British Olympic Association, Andy Anson, expressed frustration but celebrated the nation's broad success across 18 sports. Notable achievements included Ellie Aldridge's gold in kitesurfing and historic medals in artistic swimming and sport climbing. The USA topped the medal table, edging out China on the final day.
