Historically, London has topped the Team GB medals table, and Paris 2024 was no different.

The region won 1.58 golds medals, 2.45 silver and 4.86 bronze.

For Scotland, Duncan Scott continued his medal-winning ways.

He won a silver in the men’s 200m individual medley and was part of the gold-winning men’s 4x200m freestyle, bringing his Olympic medal total to eight,
