Jason Kenny has become the most decorated British Olympian ever – as Boris Johnson hailed Team GB’s athletes for their “sportsmanship, hard work and determination” during the Tokyo Olympics.
As the games came to an end with the closing ceremony, the prime minister congratulated Team GB, whose 65-medal haul matched the number earned at London 2012.
At the end of the ceremony, the Olympic flag was handed over to Paris, where the Games are held in 2024, and the Olympic flames extinguished. Digital signs displayed “Arigato” – “Thank you” in Japanese.
