British athletes have competed at every Summer Olympic Games in the modern era, alongside Australia, France and Greece, though Great Britain is the only one to have won at least one gold medal at all of them. London is the only city to host the Summer Olympics on three different occasions, having previously done so in 1908 and 1948. Soon, it will be joined by Paris in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028 in hosting the Olympic Games for a third time. Team GB, organised by BOA, sent a total of 541 athletes, 279 men and 262 women, to the Games, and won automatic qualification places in all 26 sports. The government agency UK Sport targeted a total of 48 to 70 medals, with a commitment of at least a minimum amount, one more than the team won at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and a fourth - place finish in the medal table. On 7 August 2012, Great Britain had reached its 48 - medal target, and surpassed the 19 gold - medal tally from Beijing, making it the most successful Olympics since 1908. Great Britain left the Summer Olympic Games with a total of 65 medals ( 29 gold, 17 silver, and 19 bronze ), finishing third in the medal table rankings, and fourth in the total number of medal rankings. At least one medal was awarded to Team GB in seventeen sports, eleven of them contained at least one gold. British athletes dominated the medal standings in cycling, wherein they won a total of 12 Olympic medals, including 8 golds, 7 from the 10 track cycling events alone, and in equestrianism, wherein they won 5 medals including 3 golds from 6 events. Great Britain also topped the medal table in triathlon, boxing and rowing. Twelve British athletes won more than a single Olympic medal in London. Among the nation 's medalists were taekwondo jin Jade Jones, triathlete Alistair Brownlee, and slalom canoers Etienne Stott and Tim Baillie, who won Great Britain 's first Olympic gold medals in their respective disciplines. Nicola Adams became the first female champion in Olympic boxing history as her sport made its debut at the Games. Having never won a medal in dressage in Olympic history, British riders dominated the event in 2012, winning 2 golds ( both team and individual ) and a bronze, Charlotte Dujardin becoming one of five British double gold medal winners. Great Britain was the first nation other than Germany to win the team event since 1980. Andy Murray became the first British tennis player to claim an Olympic title since the sport was reintroduced as a full - medal discipline in 1988 ; he was also the only British athlete to win two medals in a single day. Double trap shooter Peter Wilson won the nation 's first gold medal in his sport for 12 years. By winning two gold medals in London, track cyclist Chris Hoy emerged as Great Britain 's most successful athlete in Olympic history with a total of seven medals, including six golds which surpassed the five golds won by former rower Steve Redgrave. Hoy also tied for the most total Olympic medals for a Briton with road cyclist Bradley Wiggins, who won the gold in men 's time trial. Ben Ainslie became the most successful sailor in Olympic history, after winning his fourth gold medal in the Finn class. With three medals ( two golds and one silver ) in total, Victoria Pendleton became Great Britain 's most successful female Olympic athlete, surpassing the record of two golds and one bronze medal, previously held by Kelly Holmes, and briefly shared with Rebecca Adlington. For the first time in Olympic history, Great Britain had won a women 's rowing gold ; in the event, Great Britain secured three of the six gold medals in women 's rowing. Heather Stanning and Helen Glover took the first Great Britain gold of the games in the women 's pair, and the nation 's first ever in women 's rowing. Katherine Grainger, winning her first gold medal with Anna Watkins in the women 's double sculls, became the first Great Britain female athlete to win four Olympic medals, and at four successive games ( having previously won three silver medals ). Swimmer Rebecca Adlington equalled the feat of four Olympic medals later on the same day. Sophie Hosking and Katherine Copeland, in the women 's lightweight double sculls, completed the hat - trick as part of Super Saturday. Despite the unprecedented success, Great Britain performed much more poorly in the team sports, winning just a single medal when Great Britain captained by Katie Walsh won the bronze medal match against New Zealand 3 - 1 in the Women 's Field hockey tournament to win the first medal of any colour by a British field hockey team at a Summer Olympics since 1992.

The day saw the team win 6 gold medals, starting in the rowing for Alex Gregory, Tom James, Pete Reed and Andrew Triggs Hodge in the men 's coxless four and Katherine Copeland and Sophie Hosking in the women 's lightweight double sculls, followed in the cycling by Dani King, Joanna Rowsell Shand and Laura Trott in the women 's team pursuit. This was followed by three athletics gold medals in the space of 46 minutes with Jessica Ennis winning gold in the women 's heptathlon, Greg Rutherford in the men 's long jump and Mo Farah in the men 's 10,000 metres. Completing the medal total on the day in the rowing was a silver for Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase in the men 's lightweight double sculls. Lord Coe, organiser of London 2012, described the unfolding of the day 's events as `` a narrative of infectious success '' and the greatest day of sport he had ever witnessed.

UK Sport, the body responsible for distributing £ 300 million in Olympic and Paralympic sports, revealed on 4 July 2012 a target of finishing in the top four of the medal table and winning at least 48 medals across at least 12 sports based on an aggregate medal range of 40 - 70. although a specific number of gold medals was not targeted. Team GB was also highly rated by other expert and professional sport bodies prior to the Olympics. This included a team of experts invited by BBC Radio 5 live, which implied an estimated total of 95 medals : 27 gold, 25 silver and 43 bronze. Sports statistics provider Infostrada projected 57 medals, 16 of them gold. Sheffield Hallam University 56 medals, 27 of them gold ; whilst Luciana Barra a former Italian Olympic Committee member, estimated 59 medals, 16 of them gold.

The team is organised by the British Olympic Association ( BOA ) who have since 1999 branded it Team GB, explaining that `` Team GB is the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team. '' The BOA selected a team of 541 athletes, 279 men and 262 women, to compete in all sports after gaining automatic qualification places in their respective events. Sixty - one of the athletes had been born abroad, leading some in the media to criticise them as being `` Plastic Brits '', though all possessed British passports. The BOA by - law preventing the selection of athletes sanctioned for anti-doping rule violations was struck down by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in April 2012, allowing the participation of Dwain Chambers, David Millar and Carl Myerscough. British Olympic Association chief Colin Moynihan, 4th Baron Moynihan condemned the disproportionate number of British Olympic competitors who had attended expensive, elite private schools. Twenty percent of all British Olympic competitors and 33 % of the British participants in the rowing, sailing, and equestrian events, in which the host country won a number of medals, attended private schools. Moynihan called the numbers, `` one of the worst statistics in British sport '' and said that it was `` wrong and unacceptable '' that so many elite British athletes came from privileged backgrounds. Alan Bairner, professor of sport and social theory at Loughborough University, said that a primary factor in the numbers was the existence of excellent sports facilities and specialized coaching at the private schools and lack of the same at many state - sponsored schools.

Former medalist Alison Williamson competed in her sixth consecutive Summer Olympics, becoming only the third British athlete to do so, but failed to move past the first round. Both the women 's and men 's teams failed to progress further than the round of 16 after losing to the Russian and Ukrainian teams respectively, while no individual archers made it past the round of 16.

A squad of 77 athletes was initially selected for the Games. The selection of Lynsey Sharp as the team 's sole representative in the 800m when there were three places available proved controversial. Sharp, who won the event at the GB Olympic trials, failed to achieve the ' A ' qualifying standard. Under international rules, non ' A ' standard competitors could only be selected if no other athletes that have met the standard were chosen. As a result, Sharp 's inclusion meant the exclusion of four other runners that had achieved the ' A ' standard, including 2011 European Athletics Indoor Championships gold medallist Jenny Meadows. Gareth Warburton was initially not selected for the 800 metres, having failed to achieve the ' A ' qualifying standard at the 2012 European Athletics Championships in Helsinki, but was granted a place at the Games following an appeal. Ten other British athletes were unsuccessful with their appeals to be included. David Webb was initially chosen as part of the squad for the men 's marathon but withdrew on 25 July due to injury. No replacement was selected. Paula Radcliffe was initially chosen as part of the squad for the women 's marathon but withdrew on 29 July due to injury ; Freya Murray was called up as her replacement. Welshman Dai Greene was selected to captain the athletics squad, reprising a role he had first served at the 2011 European Team Championships in Sweden. In the Games, Great Britain had their best track and field performance since the Moscow Games in 1980, with 4 gold medals including a double gold for Mo Farah over the 5000 and 10000 metres. Pre-event favourites Farah in the 10000 metres, Jessica Ennis in heptathlon, and the world leading, but slightly less favoured Greg Rutherford in the long jump, won 3 gold medals for Great Britain in the space of 49 minutes on the middle Saturday of the Games.

The boxers who qualified through the world championships were ; Andrew Selby, Luke Campbell, Tom Stalker, Fred Evans and Anthony Joshua. Following the World Championships Andrew Selby and Khalid Yafai had both attained the qualification standard for the Olympics in the flyweight division. NOCs may only nominate one boxer per event, and since both had reached the quarter finals of the World Championships, a box off was required. The box off took place at the York Hall during the 2011 British Championships in November. Selby won the first bout, following which Yafai failed to make the weight for the second bout by 300 grams, meaning that Selby would represent Great Britain at the Olympics. In the subsequent AIBA European Qualification Tournament, two further boxers, Josh Taylor and Anthony Ogogo, also qualified.

However, despite objections from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, players from all four nations were considered for selection, although Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey, Neil Taylor and Joe Allen ( all Welsh ) were the only non-English players who were selected. However, players chosen to represent England at the 2012 European Championships were not considered for selection, although one player ( Jack Butland ) received special dispensation to compete.

Rhythmic The British Olympic Association announced that the team would utilise host nation qualification places. However an agreement between British Gymnastics and the BOA stipulated that the team had to reach a target score ( 45.223 ) at a test event held in London in January 2012. They narrowly missed this target in the qualification stage by 0.273 marks. though they met the mark on the finals day. This led to a dispute in which British Gymnastics originally argued that they should not be included in the Games as they had failed to make the mark in the agreed manner ; the gymnasts argued that it was not clear the mark had to be reached on the qualification round, and that their mark in the final day ( which was over the target mark ) should be accepted. On 5 March 2012, the gymnasts won their appeal, and British Gymnastics announced that the team would now be nominated for selection.

Muhammad, European champion, and world ranked number seven, at 87 kg had been nominated in preference to double European champion at 80 kg, and world ranked number one fighter at that weight, Aaron Cook ( Muhammad was ranked below 50th in the world at that weight category, at which he had rarely fought recently ).

Ross Hutchins and Colin Fleming have also qualified for the men 's doubles. Great Britain did not have any other players with a sufficiently high world ranking to qualify automatically, and therefore applied for a number of wildcard places in the men 's and women 's draws. A total of four British players ( two each in the women 's singles and women 's doubles ) were given places, allowing Great Britain to take part in all five events ( a pair for the mixed doubles will be selected at the Games ). On 12 July, the IOC confirmed that withdrawals from the women 's doubles event had created a vacancy in that event, and Great Britain 's entries in the singles event, Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong would team up to enter. On 24 July, Heather Watson, one of Great Britain 's other women 's doubles pair, was given an entry to the women 's singles as a replacement for Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine, who withdrew due to injury.
