Team GB have finished Tokyo 2020 with 65 medals - the same number they achieved at London 2012.
The games stand as their third most successful in history behind London, where 29 of the medals were gold compared to 22 in Tokyo, and Rio 2016 where the team won 67 medals.
Team GB won their medals across more different sports than any other nation taking part at the Tokyo games, picking up silverware in an impressive 25 different disciplines.
UK Sport had said they were measuring success in a "broader and more holistic" manner than just medals so will no doubt be hugely pleased with the results in Japan.
Despite not enjoying as much gold in the Izu velodrome compared to previous Olympics, cycling has still proved to be Team GB's most prosperous area.
Aided by the emergence of mountain biking star Tom Pidcock and BMX medalists Beth Schriever and Kye Whyte, Team GB's riders brought home 12 medals in all after Jason Kenny's record breaking win in the keirin on Sunday and they still landed atop of the track cycling medal table alone.
Kenny spoke on the health of British cycling after his win: "We haven’t been as dominant as we used to be, but it has still been a very successful Olympics for us.
"And if you add in the BMX guys, who were amazing, and obviously Tom Pidcock on the mountain bike as well, then it has been really successful across the board.
"British cycling is still looking really healthy, and if we make the right decisions in the next year or two, then we can hopefully push through to Paris in 2024 and maintain that dominance."
Britain's emergence as a powerhouse in the swimming pool behind the all-conquering brilliance of Adam Peaty and the diving heroics of Tom Daley and co made aquatic sports Team GB's joint-second most successful pursuit.
Eleven medals came from these sports with the team an unprecedented third in the medal table in the pool, with scope for even more improvement by the time Paris 2024 comes around.
Level with the aquatic success is that of the athletics and multi-discipline competitors who also won 11 medals.
A gold and two silvers in triathlon combined with modern pentathlon gold in both the men's (Joseph Choong) and women's (Kate French) made up for some of the losses forced by injury.
Dina Asher-Smith came into the games as a favourite but was sidelined by injury before returning to help the 4x100 metre team pick up bronze, while Adam Gemili and Katarina Johnson-Thompson were ruled out completely by bad luck.
Such injury misfortune means that the team can look to build on the medal haul come Paris in three years time.
Success on the water tends to be another of Team GB's medal strongholds, and despite the civil war consuming British rowing, that proved to be the case again as Britain's rowers, sailors and canoeists picked up nine medals - five of which coming from the sailing events.
The likes of Giles Scott, Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre proved once again that Britannia does indeed rule the waves. The rowers, who went without any gold for the first time in decades, will be desperate to rectify that in future games.
Combat sports tied that tally of nine medals with British boxers taking home six - such a haul means that it is the most successful in terms of total medals since the Antwerp Olympics in 1920. Two silvers and a bronze in taekwondo could so easily have been more golden after the last second heartbreak for Bradly Sinden and Lauren Williams left them with silver.
Equestrian events are another area with a long history of Team GB success and Tokyo proved no different with five medals won on horseback. Ben Maher's immaculate gold-winning performance in the showjumping event was the highlight, alongside the team eventing in which Britain also won gold.
With UK sport having set a target of between 45 and 70 medals for the Tokyo 2020 games, Team GB has performed admirably in the face of Covid-19 related postponement and training interruptions, with many athletes unable to practise their craft as thoroughly as usual.
Paris 2024 should see the return of fans to the games, something I'm sure the athletes are relishing with the Olympic cycle moving faster than usual.
