After a year-long postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Tokyo 2020 gets underway on July 23 with Team GB hoping to build on their heroic efforts from the last three Games.

Team GB finished second, third and fourth at Rio 2016, London 2012 and Beijing 2008 respectively – with their trip to Brazil resulting in their best display at an Olympics in more than a century.

Buoyed by superstar names like Mo Farah, Andy Murray and Adam Peaty, plus medal-hoovering power couple Laura and Jason Kenny, Great Britain won 67 medals in total in Brazil, including 27 golds.
