British quartet James Guy, Tom Dean, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott took the first gold in the pool for Team GB, retaining their title from Tokyo in the 4x200m freestyle. The 26-year-old improved on his individual silver from Tokyo and earned his second Olympic gold, having previously won the mixed triathlon gold in 2021. The Brit was the penultimate athlete to compete and the gold was confirmed when the final competitor, Chinese gymnast Hu Yicheng, crashed during her routine. Britain then broke it twice more, including in the final, where they beat New Zealand with a time of 45.186 seconds to win gold. In the end, the result was never in doubt as Hodgkinson sprinted home for an emotional gold, adding to the silver she won in Tokyo.

Britain has topped the Olympic Games medal table only once, as host nation at the 1908 Games. On this occasion, it scooped 56 golds, over half of the total, a feat that has never been matched anywhere since. It has not come close to winning such a high proportion or number of gold medals since, although the performance in Beijing was its most impressive for many decades: 19 goldswere won.
