Great Britain have finished second in the Rio 2016 medal table - above China for the first time.

 

China are one of the Games' dominant nations, with more than 200 gold medals since debuting in 1984.

 

Britain has 27 golds to China's 26 and their superior haul of silvers - 22 to 18 - means China cannot overtake them with only one more athlete in action.

 

Boxer Joe Joyce fights for gold on Sunday, meaning Britain are guaranteed to improve on that tally.

 

The British team have won golds across 15 sports in Rio, and have a total of 66 medals in 19 sports - beating the total of 65 at London 2012.

 

They have become the first host nation to improve their medal total at the next Games.

We did brilliantly And have come a long way since our pretty dismal results in the 90s !
