Despite their ninth-place performance in 1904, Team GB bounced back on home soil four years later, finishing first in the medal table with an incredible 56 gold medals, 51 silvers and 39 bronzes. Their medal haul was probably inflated by the complexities of international travel during the first half of the 20th century, but it remains a record-breaking feat to this day. It would take over 100 years for Team GB to return to the top two in the medal table. They finished second at Rio 2016, a remarkable achievement just 20 years on from Atlanta.
