In pictures: Britain’s medal-winning Olympians

Britain has enjoyed its most successful Olympics in over a century with the current medal tally standing at 54 (25 gold, 15 silver and 14 bronze) with two days of competition remaining.

Whether or not this has anything to do with London hosting the Games is anyone’s guess, but the feats of athleticism have surpassed Team GB’s own expectations.

Among the Scots to have made the podium are Sir Chris Hoy, Andy Murray and Katherine Grainger.
