Team GB have set themselves the target of remaining at least in the top five of the Olympic medal table, but have suggested that this generation may peak in Paris in 2024 when more than two-thirds of the team are rated as medal prospects.
After record-breaking medal hauls in London and Rio de Janeiro, when Team GB were respectively third and second in the medals table, the youngest team for more than a decade will be competing in Tokyo following the departure from the main stage of serial winners like Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Dame Katherine Grainger, Alistair Brownlee and Sir Mo Farah.

Brisbane will be confirmed as the host of the 2032 Olympics in a vote by the IOC members tonight.
Speaking to Radio 2GB s Ray Hadley, Australian Olympic Committee boss Matt Carroll outlined the process. It s the final presentation to the members. It s a totally new system, there s not a bidding system anymore. In Olympic-speak, it s targeted dialogue. That s what the Brisbane candidature has been in for several months now, he said. It s a presentation by the Premier, the Lord Mayor, (Sports) Minister (Richard) Colbeck from the Federal Government, and the Prime Minister will be beamed in live to the IOC session. It s important for the IOC members to see the three levels of government committed to the Games, because the summer Games are the biggest thing for the Olympic movement around the world.
