Great Britain has become accustomed to Olympic success.
In Rio in 2016, Team GB won 67 medals - 27 of them gold - to finish in second place in the medal table behind the United States and ahead of China.
That record haul was two more medals than they managed at London 2012, which followed on from 51 medals won by British athletes in Beijing in 2008.
UK Sport, the body which funds the Olympic programme through National Lottery funding, has said in the build-up to the Games that there is likely to be a dip of sorts in Tokyo and has set a broad target range of between 45 and 70 medals.
Reaching the heights of five years ago looks unlikely but Team GB have still arrived in Japan with plenty of leading medal contenders.
After no medals on day one, GB got off the mark two on Sunday, with judoka Chelsie Giles claiming -52kg bronze following her win over Switzerland's Fabienne Kocher and Bradly Sinden having to settle for taekwondo -68kg silver following a dramatic final defeat by Uzbekistan's Ulugbek Rashitov.
On what has now been christened ‘Magic Monday’, the dominant Adam Peaty successfully defended his 100m breaststroke title, Tom Daley finally ended his wait for Olympic gold alongside Matty Lee and Tom Pidcock claimed glory in the cross-country mountain biking before Lauren Williams took silver in the women’s taekwondo -67kg division.
Then early on day four, GB’s Georgia Taylor-Brown fought back from a puncture in brilliant fashion to take silver in the women’s triathlon. There was another stunning result in the pool as Tom Dean and Duncan Scott secured Britain’s first one-two finish in an Olympic swimming event since 1908 in the men’s 200m freestyle final.
Great Britain then won their first women’s team gymnastics medal since 1928 as Alice Kinsella, Amelie Morgan and twin sisters Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova produced a sensational performance to take bronze. â¨
On day five, Tom Dean, Duncan Scott, James Guy and Matthew Richards sealed GB’s third swimming gold at one Games for the first time since 1908 with victory in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay, while there was an impressive silver on the lake for men’s quadruple sculls crew Harry Leask, Angus Groom, Tom Barras and Jack Beaumont.
Charlotte Dujardin then became the most decorated female Olympian in British history with bronze in the individual dressage - her sixth medal in all.
On day six, Mallory Franklin won canoe slalom silver as shooter Matthew Coward-Holley claimed trap bronze.
Britain had never won an Olympic medal in BMX and then, in the space of 10 giddy minutes on day seven, it had two. And both belonged to a pocket of London: first a silver from Peckham courtesy of Kye Whyte and then gold 12 miles down the road in Leytonstone for Beth Shriever.
Team GB took its medal tally to six in the pool as Scott took silver in the men's 200m individual medley and Luke Greenbank won a bronze in the men's 200m backstroke.
Bryony Page became a double Olympic medalist after taking bronze in the women’s trampoline final, while the men's eight crew took rowing bronze.
On Saturday, Jonny Brownlee, Jessica Learmonth, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee delivered GB’s seventh gold of the Games in the mixed triathlon relay, before Kathleen Dawson, Adam Peaty, James Guy and Freya Anderson won the inaugural mixed 4x100 metres medley relay final in a new world record time.
Emma Wilson followed that up with a bronze in windsurfing, while Karriss Artingstall won a boxing bronze to continue an excellent day for Great Britain.
On Sunday, Charlotte Worthington sensationally took gold in the women’s BMX freestyle final with a stunning 97.50 score for Team GB’s ninth gold of the Games before Max Whitlock defended the pommel horse gold won in Rio five years ago.
