Yee confirmed his place as the most successful Olympic triathlete ever with two medals in Paris and Page completed her set of Olympic Games medals with gold in gymnastics trampoline.

Yee took gold at Paris 2024 with one of the most enthralling finishes triathlon has ever seen - overtaking Hayden Wilde of New Zealand in the closing stages of the run having looked out of energy moments before. Less than a week later, Yee joined forces with his Team GB teammates Georgia Taylor-Brown, Sam Dickinson and Beth Potter in a thrilling mixed relay event, which ended with bronze following a photo finish.

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony will take place at the Stade de France in Paris from 20:00 BST, concluding a remarkable 16 days of competition which have seen Team GB amass 65 medals, concluding with Emily Campbell’s bronze in the women’s +81kg weightlifting.

Team GB has once again enjoyed medal success across a variety of sports with 131 athletes stepping on to the podium in Paris from 18 different sports.

In total, Team GB won 65 medals at Paris 2024, equalling the tally from London 2012 (65 medals) in the all-time list and two behind Rio 2016 (67 medals), with both Rio and London having more athletes participating.

Epitomising the Olympic spirit, Bryony Page and Alex Yee were nominated by a British Olympic Association panel and will carry the Union Flag into the Stade de France this evening.

The Olympic Games' most successful triathlete and Closing Ceremony flagbearer, Alex Yee, said:

"I'm really excited and honoured to be given the opportunity to be one of the Team GB flagbearers. It means a lot to me.

“The Closing Ceremony is a key part of the Olympic experience and having not got to experience it in Tokyo, I wanted to come to it in Paris. So, to be able to go to it, first of all, was really special, but then to get the phone call this morning to be asked to hold the GB flag was really, really special.

“There's been so many incredible performances over the last two weeks from Team GB, so to be selected as somebody who's represented Team GB well and made the country proud is really special.”

The Closing Ceremony will be shown from 7pm tonight on BBC One.
