In America we hear all about our Olympic athletes but not much about anyone else. Today I’m excited to look at at the overall medal count for Great Britain, and see some of the best British Olympic performances. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

I've been glued to my TV here in the UK watching the Olympics. I feel very very sorry for the US you miss out on so much by your insular ways. To only just watch your own country is awful. Your media sure let you down. Also the man knows so little and doesn't even know that most of these sports exist
Also i know you mean well but please stop being so condescending
Canoe slalom was a big thing in the 80s was often on tv when we visited my grandparents – that or bmx
As a Brit, your welcome for having content
Do Americans even understand what's going on in the Olympics? it's all in metric
SLA LOM not as Ryan said it. Dressage is a French word so Ryan is not familiar with the word. oops Tyler, easy to get the two bros mixed up.
Basically Americans can only shoot easy targets, not to be too unkind, that fact is so sad, but is true imo.
Google:
USA Shooting in the Paris 2024 Olympic medal count was 5.
See all of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games medals below:
Sagen Maddalena: Silver, Women’s 50m Smallbore Rifle
Vincent Hancock: Gold, Men’s Skeet.
Conner Prince: Silver, Men’s Skeet
Austen Smith: Bronze, Women’s Skeet
Vincent Hancock and Austen Smith: Silver, Mixed Team Skeet.
Vincent Hancock, of Eatonton, Georgia, earned the second U.S. shooting medal and made Olympic history. He earned his fourth gold medal in Men’s Skeet, becoming the sixth Olympian ever to win four gold medals in the same event, joining Al Oerter (USA, discus), Paul Elvstrom (Denmark, sailing one-person class), Carl Lewis (USA, long jump), Michael Phelps (USA, 200m individual medley), and Mijain Lopez (Cuba, Greco-Roman heavyweight). He is the first shooting Olympian to accomplish this feat.
I have to say that we actually did worse than normal this year. We normally do way better
Hi Tyler, thanks for appreciating Team GB’s 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 medal haul 🥇🥈🥉 from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Much appreciated! But it took a really bad performance at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta where Team GB 🇬🇧 only came away with a total of 15 medals (🥇1, 🥈8 and 🥉6) and finish in one of our worst ever placing in the medals table (36th) to then pump more and more money into our sports via The National Lottery to begin improving in subsequent Summer Olympics from Sydney 2000 right the way up to and including Paris 2024. So proud of Team GB 🇬🇧 😊
Artistic swimming at the Summer Olympics began in 1984.
"I did not know" ad nauseam🤣
We have achieved similar total number of medals in 2012, 2016, 2020, & 2024, although this year there were fewer gold medals. Our high success began in 2008 after lottery funding was allocated to enable athletes to undertake full-time training.
It’s pronounced SLAH-lom 🤣.
Good for such a small island really
I'm not allowed to say anything. Xxx
We are a fifth of the size of population of the usa but we got half their number of medals ,that tells you how goid we are at sports
I believe the UK is a little smaller than Idaho
As you are the average American, that goes a long way to explain why America is doomed to failure and stupidity! 🤪 American sports coverage is ALWAYS TOTALLY BIASED TOWARDS THE USA! FACT! YOU GET FAKE NEWS AND NOT REALITY!!
"SALOM"??? Can't you EVEN READ THE WORD 'SLALOM' CORRECTLY? JESUS H FECKING CHRIST!!!!
As a Kiwi I am teally stoked with the results this Olympics, ten golds for s population of five million is not bad. Not to mention our "GOAT in a boat" Lisa Cherrington who now holds ten olympic golds for her sport and at thirty six is still logging up the wins, three from this games alone.
