Team GB looks to build on medal haul with five days to go

Team GB has now reached the aspiration of winning more medals (currently 48) across more sports (currently 12) than in over a century. There are still five days of competition remaining and several sports/disciplines still to begin – along with at least four medals already guaranteed in boxing that are not among the 48. The only Games in which Team GB has won more medals is 1908 (146 medals).
