Great Britain (Team GB) has won just over 1,000 Olympic medals in total across Summer and Winter Games, with the vast majority coming from the Summer Olympics.

Quick Scoop: How many medals have GB won?

If you’re asking in the broad, historical sense (“ever, at the Olympics?”), then:

  • Team GB has passed the 1,000‑medal mark overall.
  • A detailed breakdown from an Olympic statistics source puts Great Britain at around 950+ medals through 2022 , and official tallies plus Paris 2024 results take that figure to just over 1,000 total medals.
  • One widely cited figure is 1,015 medals in total , combining Summer and Winter Olympics.

In other words, if you see slightly different numbers in forum chats or news updates, it’s usually because:

  • Some counts stop at a particular Games (e.g., “through 2022”).
  • Some include or exclude very old events like Olympic art competitions.
  • Some are “live” media counts during a Games and don’t get updated later.

Summer vs Winter snapshot

  • Summer Olympics: roughly 980+ medals for GB, including Paris 2024.
  • Winter Olympics: a little over 30 medals in total.

So, if someone on a forum asks “how many medals have GB won?”, the current, rounded, easy answer is:

Team GB have won just over 1,000 Olympic medals in total , with around 980 at the Summer Games and a few dozen at the Winter Games.
