King Charles welcomed Team GB’s Paris 2024 Olympic medalists to Buckingham Palace, honoring their 65-medal haul, matching Tokyo 2020’s total with 14 golds, 22 silvers, and 29 bronzes.
Stars like Keely Hodgkinson (800m gold) and Tom Pidcock (mountain biking gold) attended, sharing stories of triumph.
Charles praised their ‘resilience and teamwork,’ highlighting diver Tom Daley’s silver, his fifth Olympic medal.
The event, attended by 150 athletes, coaches, and staff, featured a reception with performances by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Hodgkinson told BBC, 'It’s surreal to be here after Paris.' On X, fans celebrated, with #TeamGB trending.
The UK’s sixth-place finish on the medal table sparked calls for more grassroots funding, as 40% of medalists came from state schools.
