Meet Team GB: who are the British athletes competing in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics?

If the 2020 Olympics go ahead this summer for 2021, Team GB is expecting to take roughly 375-380 athletes to Tokyo, with more British women than men for the first time. This number would exceed the 366-strong team for the last Games in Rio, which was then Team GB's biggest travelling delegation since Barcelona 1992.

Due to the disruption brought about by the coronavirus pandemic delaying the Games by 12 months, Team GB have so far only named around 10 per cent of their team. As other athletes are added, the below list will be updated.
